Another complaint for the Volvo S80 throttle module causing the car to lose all power on the freeway. I was fortunate that each time this occurred, I was in a position to get off the road safely. The situation could have been disastrous, however. I work in nashville where every route to work is undergoing road construction and does not have a shoulder to pull off on. Had the etm failed in one of these locations, I would likely have been hit by other autos unable to avoid me. I had the part replaced for about $850 as Volvo claimed that it was not a problem and refused to fix it. In addition to the faulty etm is the abs control unit for the airbags and traction control. According to what I've seen on Volvo message boards (volvospy. Com, swedespeed. Com and brickboard. Com), this part also seems to fail as frequently as the etm. . Read more...
