What owners wrote
Etm or ets in volvo s70, 1999 and 2000 makes. Electronic throttle module resulting in sever fluctuations of engine. Common in all volvo 99 and 00 years.
Vehicle surges after I had the software download recall. They keep telling me it is a dirty throttle body, but it has been cleaned a thousand times. They never replaced my TCM. Just the software. This needs to stop. I feel unsafe in this car. Need a recall.
