1999 Volvo S70

Defect. ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, A COMBINATION OF THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR IRREGULARITIES, A DIRTY THROTTLE HOUSING, AND/OR INEFFICIENT SOFTWARE CALIBRATION MAY CAUSE A WARNING LAMP TO LIGHT AND THE SUBSEQUENT ONSET OF LIMP HOME MODES.

Risk. THIS RESULTED IN A HIGH NUMBER OF VEHICLES GOING INTO THE LIMP HOME MODE WITHOUT NEED.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE CURRENT SOFTWARE UPGRADE ONTO THE INVOLVED VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 29, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLVO AT 1-800-458-1552.

Defect. ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH MAY CEASE TO FUNCTION.

Risk. THE HEAD LIGHTS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY WHICH COULD RESULT IN INTERMITTENT OR NO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION. THIS COULD IMPAIR A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. ON VEHICLES WITH AN ORIGINAL OEM SWITCH, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. ALL OTHER VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF THE SWITCH HAS EEN DAMAGED AND REPLACE ONLY IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 24, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT VOLVO AT 1-800-458-1552.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THERE COULD BE INADEQUATE CONTACT BETWEEN THE BULB AND SOCKET WHICH COULD CAUSE THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL NOT TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED.

Risk. THIS WOULD FAIL TO WARN AN APPROACHING DRIVER THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNING AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULB AND SOCKET.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SEDANS. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." THE FUEL FILTER BRACKET CONFIGURATION MARGINS ARE INSUFFICIENT.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, FUEL LEAKAGE COULD OCCUR. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A FUEL FILTER PROTECTION BRACKET.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A 45MPH COLLISION ON 9/12/2017. FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WAS IMPACTED. THE COLLISION WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO BLOW. HOWEVER, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT BLOW UP, DESPITE THE IMPACT HAPPENING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. A COMPLAINT WAS SUBMITTED TO VOLVO ON 9/19/2017. A CALL FROM (201) 768-7300 WAS RECEIVED TODAY 9/20. I FORGOT TO NOTE DOWN HER NAME BUT SHE WAS A VOLVO REPRESENTATIVE. SHE CORRECTLY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO OCCUPANT WEIGHT SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEREFORE THEY CANNOT DISCRIMINATE WHEN A CRASH IS SEVERE. HOWEVER, SHE STATED THAT BECAUSE I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, THE SYSTEM DETECTED THAT I WAS SAFE AND THEREFORE DID NOT BLOW UP THE DRIVER AIRBAG. THIS EXPLANATION SEEMED VERY BIZARRE TO ME AS I BELIEVE IF THE CRASH WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO BLOW UP THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, THE DRIVER AIRBAG SHOULD BLOW UP TOO, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE IMPACT WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WAS COMPLICATED AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND. I FOUND THIS EXPLANATION TO BE UNACCEPTABLE.

TWICE, WITHIN 50 METRES OF THE SAME SPOT EACH TIME, MY CAR HAS SUFFERED EXTREME ACCELERATION WHILST I WAS BRAKING AS HARD AS I COULD. FIRST TIME, MY MECHANIC CHECKED ALL COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS USING TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTER TESTING DEVICES BUT THERE WERE NO FAULT CODES. NOW, AS WELL AS HAPPENING TWICE WITHIN 50 METRES OF THE SAME SPOT, I WAS AT THE SAME SET OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHICH I DO NOT SUSPECT AS BEING THE PROBLEM, BUT ALSO NEXT TO A MAJOR HOSPITAL WITH AN ADJACENT HELIPAD. MY BEST GUESS AFTER 57 YEARS IN ELECTRONICS AND 40+ IN COMPUTERS IS THAT SOME SORT OF RF INTERFERENCE IS UPSETTING MY VEHICLE. I KNOW VOLVO CHECK ALL ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THEIR CARS IN SWEDEN AND WONDER WHETHER THEY HAVE EVER COME ACROSS MY PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE SCREAMED ITS HEAD OFF ALTHOUGH I HAD NO TIME TO WORRY ABOUT THE TACHOMETER READING. THE NOISE ITSELF WAS ADEQUATE WARNING AND THE LACK OF BRAKING MEANT THAT I HAD TO KILL THE IGNITION TO RECOVER MINE AND THE VEHICLES COMPOSURE. SWITCHING ON THE IGNITION AGAIN BOTH TIMES, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN IDLED NORMALLY AND OPERATED AS IT SHOULD. *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST STALLING EPISODE AND ETS LIGHT ON. CALLED VOLVO DUE TO A REPLACEMENT/EXTENDED WARRANTY ON AFFECTED PART.

MOVING FORWARD ONE YEAR AND CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND, NO DASH LIGHTS AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF ETM. CAR WON'T STAY RUNNING AT ALL, TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AFTER THIS INCIDENT. NO WARRANTY ON PART, NO REPLACEMENT AND NOW I HAVE $ 4000 BOAT ANCHOR THAT WILL COST A FORTUNE TO FIX DUE TO NO WARRANTY ON THE PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED YEARS AGO BY VOLVO. *JB

I HAD NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR BECAUSE I BOUGHT A 2008 C70 THAT I WAS DRIVING. I DECIDED TO START DRIVING THIS ONE FOR THE WINTER.

I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED IN TO THE SHOP BUT I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS HAPPENING TO 1999-2000 VOLVOS. MY CAR WAS ALWAYS SERVICED BY THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS EVER SAID ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURING.

THIS COMPLAINT IS AGAINST VOLVO AMERICA, I OWN A 1999 VOLVO S70 WITH 214,000 MILES. VOLVO CLAIMS THAT IT HAD A SOFTWARE UPGRADE FOR MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE. VOLVO HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM, BUT IT ONLY COVERED THIS RECALL UPTO 200,000 MILES. MY VOLVO NEVER HAD THE PART REPLACED, VOLVO ONLY DID A "SOFTWARE UPGRADE." THE ETC IS FAILING AND MAY FAIL ON THE FREEWAY, PLACING MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHER AMERICAN DRIVERS IN DANGER.

I AM GOING TO GET REAR-ENDED AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED. MAYBE SEVERAL "SOMEONE'S". VOLVO OF HOUSTON DOESN'T CARE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR THERE. IT HAS HAD MAINTENANCE SERVICE THERE OVER THE YEARS. THESE PEOPLE TOOK OUR $27,000 AND GAVE US A "KILLER" CAR. I AM TERRIFIED WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE IT. SINCE 2005, EVERY TIME I GET IN THIS CAR I WONDER IF I WILL GET HOME ALIVE. I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE AT VOLVO TO TAKE THIS CAR AND LET THEIR WIFE, MOTHER, OR DAUGHTER DRIVE IT. LET THEM WORRY ABOUT GETTING KILLED ON A HOUSTON STREET. THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 20 TIMES, MAYBE MORE. I NEVER KNOW IF I WILL GET WHERE I AM GOING OUT AND I DEFINITELY DON'T KNOW IF I WILL GET HOME A L I V E!

MY 1999 S70 WITH APPROXIMATELY 92,000 HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: - SOMETIMES THE ENGINES START SHAKING? - HARD TO BRAKE - NO POWER EVEN IF YOU PEDAL IS AT THE MAX - CRUISE CONTROL STOP WORKING MY CAR HAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE AND I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEAL TO GET THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. SINCE THE UPGRADE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT 02 SENSOR. NOW THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 20MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED. VOLVO WILL NOT REPAIR THIS KNOW ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS 10 1/2 YEARS OLD. THEY STATE IF THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 10YEARS OLD OR UNDER 200K IN MILEAGE THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. THIS IS NOT FAIR. THEY COULD HAVE REPLACED THIS ETM WHEN I CAME FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE BUT THEY DID NOT. *TR

MY 1999 VOLVO S-70 RECEIVED SOFTWARE UPGRADE CODE #155 IN 2006 SUBJECT TO RECALL AND IN AUGUST 2009 STARTED TO EXPERIENCE RANDOM THROTTLE SURGING AND LOSS OF POWER ,ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS(I-95), MAKING VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE,ALONG WITH INTERMITTENT ETS LIGHT COMING ON. I AM NOW TOLD BY DEALER THAT CAUSE IS DUE TO FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE & NOT COVERED BY 10 YEAR OR 200,000 MILE WARRANTY AS "IN-SERVICE" DATE ON MY VEHICLE WAS FEB. 2009 AND THEREFORE PAST 10 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. HAVING RESEARCHED YOUR DATA BASE INVOLVING SAFETY ISSUES & ACCIDENTS CAUSED DIRECTLY FROM THIS TYPE OF PART FAILURE, I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHY A FULL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED BY VOLVO TO REPLACE ALL ETM'S ON THESE MODEL VEHICLES. I AM NOW OUT-OF-POCKET $1200.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT VOLVO HAS NEGLECTED TO FIX. STATISTICALLY, IT APPEARS THAT MORE OF THESE ETM'S WILL FAIL OUTSIDE OF THE VOLVO WARRANTY PERIOD.

I PURCHASED A 1999 S70 VOLVO IN MARCH OF 1999 I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD GET THE SAME WARRANTY AS A NEW CAR. THE DEALER HAD PUT 5000 MILES ON THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR WAS APPROX. 4 YRS OLD IT STARTED TO LOOSE POWER THE SPEED WOULD DROP TO ZERO THE CAR WOULD REDUCE SPEED. IN 2006 IT STARTED TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING.

THEY REPAIRED IT ON OCT. 8, 2008, IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN IN NOV 2008, I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS FINE. THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN JUNE 19, 2009. NOW I AM TOLD THAT IT IS THE ETM. O'STEEN VOLVO WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 VOLVO S70. IN 2001, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED AND DISPLAYED ZERO WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 10 MPH. EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 MPH. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSORS SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. SHE WAS UNSURE ABOUT THE NAME OF THE SENSOR; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. RECENTLY, IN JUNE OF 2009, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER.

DRIVER'S DOOR HAD BAD POPPING SOUND. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VOLVO S70 DOOR NOISE WAS TYPICAL, AND ALWAYS DUE TO FAILURE OF HINGE WELDING. DEALER SAID TAKE IT TO AUTO BODY REPAIR. BODY REPAIR SHOP INDICATED HE PERFORMED THIS TYPE OF JOB THOUSANDS OF TIMES. COST: $250. *TR

WE OWN A 1999 VOLVO S70. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT STARTED TO SURGE WHILE AT A STOP WITHOUT AND FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT FROM A STOP SIGN THE CAR HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT DID WHAT IT WANTED TOO WITHOUT MY CONTROLLING IT. THE GAS PEDAL WENT UP AND DOWN ALL BY ITSELF. THE CAR THEN STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AND RUN. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A ETS LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKY WE WHERE NOT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WHERE ABLE TO PULL OVER. WE HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT HOME. I CALLED A VOLVO DEALER IN OUR AREA. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FIND OUT THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN ALL 99 TO 2001 VOLVO'S. A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE VOLVO DEALER WILL ONLY UPGRADE A SOFTWARE ISSUE. IF THE PART { ETM} FAILS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. WE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT THE GAS PEDAL IS CONTROLLED BY THIS SYSTEM. AFTER GETTING OUT CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER THE SAME DAY IT DID IT AGAIN. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AND EVEN THOUGH THE CAR MEETS THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT THE ETM. NOW WE HAVE A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A INTERSTATE WE COULD HAVE BEEN REARENDED OR RAN INTO SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I "LIMPED" TO A GAS STATION AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, INSPECTED FOR LOOSE WIRES, OR OTHER OBSERVABLE DEFECTS. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE ETS LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON. NOW THE CAR RUNS ERRATICALLY LURCHING FORWARD OR SPUTTERING OR JUST PLAIN LOSING POWER AT RANDOM. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 206,000 MILES MY CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE OVER 40 MPH, THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP ON ITS OWN AND SPUTTERED THROUGHOUT THE REDUCED RPM RANGE. RPMS WOULD NOT GO OVER ABOUT 3500. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE IT TO VOLVO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT AN OUT OF POCKET COST TO ME OF APPROXIMATELY $1,000. THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UP TO 200,000 MILES AS THIS PART HAD A RECALL. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I WAS ADEQUATELY NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL LAST YEAR AND CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK WHAT IT ALL MEANT SINCE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS JUST A SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND WOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THAT SOFTWARE UPGRADE IN MARCH OF 2007 WITH LESS THAN 200,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE ETM / THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT THAT TIME. *TR

YESTERDAY I PARKED MY 1999 VOLVO IN A STORE PARKING LOT, AND WHEN I PULLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR IT DID NOT WORK. I WAS ALSO UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY WITH A KEY. WHILE THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A DEATH, IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS. IT COST ME OVER $500 TO HAVE THE LOCK FIXED; IN RESPONSE TO MY HUSBAND'S QUESTION AS TO WHAT PRECISELY CAUSED THE PROBLEM, THE AUTOMOTIVE TECH'S EXPLANATION WAS "LOCK FAILURE." I CALLED VOLVO TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT, AND WAS DISMISSED WITH "THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT ISN'T VOLVO'S RESPONSIBILITY." I CONTEND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD SOMEONE BE UNABLE TO EXIT A VEHICLE DUE TO "LOCK" FAILURE. IF ELECTRONICS FAIL, THE DOOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE OPENED MANUALLY WITH A KEY. HAD A FIRE OR ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND I NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED. THIS IS UNCONSCIONABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 VOLVO S70. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT HAS A METAL PIECE INSIDE THE BUCKLE THAT FAILED. THE FAILURE PREVENTS THE SEAT BELT FROM FASTENING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 99,000.
