What owners wrote
My car started riding rough in about 2003. Rpm's jump, car thrusts like a gas surge. This can occur while on highway speed or while idling at a stop light. The car was serviced and repaired, but then the problem came back (after the service was no longer under warranty). Volvo has not been able to solve the problem sufficiently, but I have been told they are related to mass air control, throttle control, and oxygen sensor. My car is currently at volvoville again for service of this problem.
This complaint is regarding 2 faulty throttle modules (etm) that have been replaced by volvo dealerships for my 1999 volvo v70 xc. The first/original etm was replaced under warranty with 58,635 miles on 22 may 03. 14 months and 12,474 miles later, that etm failed and I had to replace it at my cost. Symptoms included irregular and erratic acceleration and deceleration of the car at highway speeds with the acceleration pedal pressed, but steady.
