What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 volvo v70. The contact was attempting to brake when the vehicle surged forward and struck the preceding vehicle. At the time, she thought that the brakes failed. The contact learned of NHTSA recall number 06v441000 (vehicle speed control) after the crash. The vehicle sustained damages to the front end (hood bracket, hood hinge, marker light, front bumper cover, wiper blades, side lamps, grill, head lamps, hood and latch, and paint).
With only 80,000 miles, after 5 years of driving, the engine is warning that the electronic throttle system' (ets) failed. The dealer and an independent repair shop only can replace the ets module at a cost of $1,200. The replacement part is actually the same as the failed part with no improvement. Searches on the internet showed that this part failed over and over again.
