The abs/trac and brake warning lights are coming on simultaneously and then go off after a few minutes. On other occasions, the speedometer stops working and the orange arrow starts blinking. Sometimes when the orange light is blinking, the car shifts to winter mode and you cannot accelerate as you normally would. The dealer told me that it is the abs module and cost of repair would be over $1000. I had the electronic throttle replaced last year. It looks like a poor design, as I have been reading a lot about these problems on Volvos. I am requesting NHTSA contact Volvo headquarters and demand a recall on this hazardous abs and acceleration safety problem.

Stalling at low speeds. The etm has been replaced twice, xref 10137600. The mass air flow unit was replaced, the bulbs burned out, the blower motor fan would run constantly, the check engine and abs light would illuminate. The consumer sold the vehicle in may 2005. Updated 01/09/06.

Prior to dealer visit for 60,000 mile service, the abs and tracs lights began coming on periodically. Dealer checked and found codes abs-314 & 324 set in system. Dealer stated that module replacement would cost approximately $675. Dealer said that although the lights indicated loss of abs, braking ability should not be compromised. At that time I declined the repair. Since that service visit, the lights have continued to go on and off periodically; on several occasions, it occured during braking and it felt as though the brakes were not going to grab appropriately, if only momentarily. I am now wondering if this is a safe condition, especially with the onset of winter driving. When I saw the number of other complaints on the same issue at the NHTSA website, I decided I should include my own. My suggestions for remediation range from: 1) have the manufacturer investigate the issue further, 2) have the manufacturer replace all modules that are reported to have this problem, or 3) at least have the manufacturer assist the customer by paying a portion of the replacement cost.

When the brakes were applied, the abs light appeared on the dashboard. Braking power hesitated, which caused the to have no brakes. The brakes activated without driver application. Yet, when the brakes were applied, there was a delay in braking.

Abs control module is cracked. I have heard this is a common problem for this vehicle. Abs system is not operable until ecu is replaced. Intermittent problem (abs light comes on periodically). Dt.
