What owners wrote
Etm failure on my volvo. This has been a very big issue with 99-00 70 series models. Mine failed as well as many others.
I own a 1999 volvo v70 xc. On october 27, 2005, while I was driving the vehicle it suddenly and without warning began to stall. I pressed the accelerator to the floor to no avail. I was able to coast out of traffic. I turned the engine off, waited a few minutes, started the vehicle and drove home. Although it appeared to drive a little better, it continued to jerk and sputter.
