Kelley,

glad you got your car back for just $50.

It's a disgrace, that the lady you talked to at the dealership in NJ said that there is nothing to show there is a problem with the ETS modules or the ABS modules for that matter.

I have been hanging around this board for more than a year, and from the posts here, I have learned that most volvo dealerships around the country have extra ABS and ETS modules on hand, because of the known high failure rate. They even diagnose over the phone and tell you to bring the vehicle in for a module swap.

This is a great cash cow for the dealers, they even stall you when the car is under warranty, and people complain about ABS/ETS light on intermittently, they seem to be unable to diagnose what's wrong with the car. I guess volvo doesn't reimburse them much for it under warranty.

Out of warranty is a different story, the profit margin is great and they just swap the modules, EASY MONEY.

Take care girl, and BE SAFE
