My wife was driving our two kids in our 2004 Volvo S80 on I-75 when the vehicle just completely stopped operating. She could not get the vehicle to the side of the interstate as when she pressed the gas pedal, the engine would not even rev up. My wife an children were stuck in the middle of the interstate in a car that wouldn't drive. The dash stated "reduced engine performance". She called me on my cell in a panic as cars on I-75 were flying by her and swerving out of her lane to avoid colliding with our vehicle. I asked her if she had tried turning off the vehicle and restarting it. The first time she tried, it did absolutely nothing. The second time, it started up without the "reduced engine performance" on the dash but it stated "check engine" on dash. My wife was able to drive the vehicle off and get it home. I took the vehicle to the Volvo dealership in our city and informed them what had happened and that I had done my research and thought that it was probably the electronic throttle module (etm) and that it might be under a 10 yr/200,000 mile warranty. The Volvo dealership informed me that there would be a diagnostic fee to start. When I got the car back, the dealership informed me that I had carbon build up on the throttle pad and that after cleaning this, the etm passed all of the tests. The next day, the check engine light came back on and the car started to leak gas out the back in huge amounts after I stopped to get some gas. I took the car back to dealership and they looked at it and after fixing it, informed me that they had kinked an o-ring while performing a recall on something on the gas tank and this caused the check engine light. Upon driving home, the check engine light came back on again. Upon taking back to dealership, the dealership admitted that they had not done a diagnostic fee the first time so that had no idea if the etm was fine or not. But this time the diagnostic showed the etm needed replacing. But no warranty on 04.

While stopping or turning at low speeds the cars idle speed will fluctuate from a complete stop up to 1100 rpms. Most of the time between 500 & 1100 rpms ! when the car stops running while I am trying to turn a corner , the power steering of coarse does not work and its hard to steer it. I did take it to a Volvo dealer, & they said it needed a new throttle sensor & computer software change, & it would cost me $2400. I can't find out if any of the recalls have ever been done #r155, r146, NHTSA I. D. #626114 & I. D. #10018801. The previous owner had the car for three years & did not receive and recalls notices. Most of the time the car runs fine, I have driven it over 40,000 miles now with the check eng. Light on & off. The check engine light will stay on for a day or too & go off for three or four days at a time. I would really like to know if any of the recalls have ever been done to this car.

For the past year my check engine and urgent light have been popping on. I have to go to my machanic (who is Volvo certified) to have them turn off. But the check engine light comes on more frequent now. For the past 6 months, when I start the car, it hesitates and runs rough, like it is going to stall. The first time this happened my machanic said it needed a tune up. Today 10/19/06 I brought it to my macanic again, and they told me it was the throttle module and the 1999 S80 's are having all the same problems, and that I need to take it to an authorized dealer, before it gets worse.

My 1999 Volvo s-80 t-6 suffers from a design flaw associated with the throttle body and engine warning light. The light is on all of the time. Servicing does not clear the light, so I have begun to simply ignore the light. The throttle body has a problem where the engine runs properly for 20,000 then begins to oscillate upand down by 200-300 rmps at idle. This seems minor, but it almost caused a major accident yesterday. When slowing to a stop at a major intersection, the engine slowed to idle and then sped up just as I was about to come to a stop. The higher rpm caused the car to move into the intersection. If another car had been approaching, it would have struck my car. I asked my wife (this is her primary car)if she had experienced the same problem and she said she had several times. I went on the web and found that many Volvo owners are experiencing the same rpm and engine light problems. I do not know if they have had the same near accident I did, but I must assume they have. Have you received other complaints about this problem and has Volvo been notified? I contacted Volvo and they denied any problem. The words on the internet tell me they are mistaken. Some one could get killed by this design flaw.

I have been without this car for over 7 weeks this year alone. I am stuck between the dealer and the manufacturer. Volvo has responded to my complaint that I filed with the new motor vehicle board by say, "a Volvo technical specialist and lawrence Volvo's service tech have driven the estes' 1999 Volvo S80 in excess of 500 miles and determined that no non-conformities exist. In an effort to demonstrate that we value the estes' as our customers, lawrence Volvo will contact them to make a very fair offer to trade them into a new vehicle. " I don't want another Volvo. I want mine fixed or Volvo can adjust the purchase price or buy it back. I recently received a recall notice on the car and now fear even more problems.
