I live in the state of Maine and have had on and off problems with stalling with my 2000 V70 XC and my dealer in Maine replaced spark plugs and the air filter, telling me that was the source of my problem. But I was suspicious after all I had read and strongly felt that my ETS was the issue.

I was visiting my parents in Connecticut this past weekend and we were driving back from a day in New York City when sure enough, my ETS light came on while on the highway. I immediately lost acceleration power in my car and had to limp it back to my parents house at 10 miles per hour (it took us 2 hours to go 15 miles).

I called Chase Parkway Volvo in Watertown, CT the next morning and explained my situation (the ETS light, the power loss and the fact that I still had a 300 mile drive ahead of me to get back to Maine). They told me to bring my car in immediately and they replaced my throttle module within 2 hours. They even charged my cell phone up for me while I waited so that it had enough battery power for my return trip home. Their service department was OUTSTANDING. They told me that they have seen the ETS problem many times in the past few months and if a customer voices concerns over it, they automatically replace it. They don’t clean it or give the customer the runaround, they just do the right thing and replace it…UNDER WARRANTY.

I am completely satisfied with the outcome of my situation. If anyone experiences ETS failure, definitely go to Chase Parkway Volvo – they really offer superb service and will fix the ETM at no charge and with no hassles.
