MY 1999 S70 WITH APPROXIMATELY 92,000 HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: - SOMETIMES THE ENGINES START SHAKING? - HARD TO BRAKE - NO POWER EVEN IF YOU PEDAL IS AT THE MAX - CRUISE CONTROL STOP WORKING MY CAR HAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE AND I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEAL TO GET THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. SINCE THE UPGRADE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT 02 SENSOR. NOW THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 20MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED. VOLVO WILL NOT REPAIR THIS KNOW ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS 10 1/2 YEARS OLD. THEY STATE IF THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 10YEARS OLD OR UNDER 200K IN MILEAGE THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. THIS IS NOT FAIR. THEY COULD HAVE REPLACED THIS ETM WHEN I CAME FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE BUT THEY DID NOT. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2007 THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING HER 1999 VOLVO S70 SOUTH ON ROUTE 15 IN PENNSYLVANIA. I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DRIVER TURNED RIGHT INTO A SHORT ACCESS DRIVE TO A RESTAURANT. THE DRIVER THEN TURNED RIGHT INTO THE PARKING LOT, SLOWED FURTHER, DRIVING ABOUT 40 FEET, AND TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE DIRECTLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE STORE?S FRONT ENTRANCE. SHE HAD COME TO A SLOW AND ALMOST COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY LURCHED FORWARD, OVER THE PARKING BLOCK. THE CAR THEN LURCHED FORWARD FURTHER, ON THE PARKING LOT SURFACE, UP AND OVER THE PARKING LOT CURB TO THE STORE LEVEL AND CRASHED INTO THE STORE?S VESTIBULE. THE CAR HIT A SUPPORT BEAM, AND BADLY DAMAGED THE STORE?S ENTRANCE. THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. IT LURCHED UNCONTROLLABLY BACKWARD AT A FAST RATE OF SPEED THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AND UP AND OVER A CONCRETE APRON DIRECTLY BEHIND HER PARKING SPACE. IT THEN SWERVED WILDLY IN REVERSE ALONG AND AGAINST THE PARKING LOT CURB THAT PARALLELED ROUTE 15. THE CAR VIOLENTLY HIT A PERPENDICULAR CURB, SWERVED AND STOPPED AS THE FRONT WHEEL ON THE PASSENGER?S SIDE CRASHED INTO THE CURB. THE IMPACT BROKE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FROM ITS AXLE. WE REMOVED OUR SEAT BELTS AND IMMEDIATELY GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER AND I BOTH HAD BEEN SHAKEN BADLY IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR AS IT HIT THE PARKING BLOCKS, CONCRETE APRON, AND CURBS. THIS LUNGING INCIDENT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE RECOGNIZED FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE OF THE CAR. WITNESSES SAID THAT THE CAR WAS TRAVELING UNCONTROLLABLY AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AS THOUGH THE CAR?S ACCELERATOR WERE STUCK. PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE MADE AN INCIDENT REPORT. VOLVO INSPECTED THE CAR CLAIMING NOTHING MECHANICAL CAUSED THE INCIDENT. *JB
