This is my second complaint for the same vehicle. See odi no. 10131592. Despite repairs made in June 2005, the car stalled approximately 12 times on Friday, August 5, 2005. I drove it straight to the dealership on the 5th for diagnosis and repair. Diagnostic codes now identified a faulty mass air flow sensor and electronic throttle module/reload and throttle body. These repairs were made to the car.

I was driving on I-75 interstate and when I went to pass a vehicle in the left lane I felt a sudden loss of power in my engine. I then had to cut across 4 lanes of expressway traffic to get my car onto the shoulder. Then my car stalled out. Whenever I restarted it, it would stall back out again. The auto shop told me that I needed to replace my electronic throttle module, mass air flow sensor, and gas pedal sensor costing me well over $2000. (the old parts are at my house, I've kept them).

On two occasions, in January of 2006 and June of 2006, my 2001 Volvo s-80 sedan stalled without warning while driving. I had no power and steering it was extremely difficult. For the first incident in January, keystone Volvo replaced my mass air flow sensor. When the car stalled again in June, they replaced the throttle module.

The contact owns 2000 Volvo S80. Purchased it under an extended warranty certified used car program from clayton Volvo in knoxville tennessee in April 2001. Several months later, while the car was still under warranty, the car died in the middle of an intersection. After towing it to the dealer it was discovered the electronic throttle module wasfilled with carbon. That unit was replaced under warranty. A couple years later, the car again died. This time it happened in a parking lot. Thankfully, in both cases it happened in a safe situation. Again, the etm was determined to be the problem. But, the warranty had expired. The dealer and the manufacturer refused to recognize that the problem was an ongoing issue. This time the contact was forced to pay nearly $1000 for repairs. It was the contact's understanding that information was being collected on this problem, so he felt compelled to add this complaint. Although had specific dates available , the contact could check my records and provide them if necessary. . X-ref 10131424, 2 etms installed, smch. The throttle body was cleaned twice and the mass air flow sensor was replaced. Updated 12/07/05.
