I am submitting etm failure in my 2000 volvo v70 se wagon in october of 2005. I am concerned for my safety driving this car because the car hesitates upon acceleration, there's sudden and unexpected transition into reduced performance operation (limp mode) and sometimes when the ets indicator has engaged while my foot is on the brake the car surges forward as if I were giving it a lot of gas.
