Hi, As some of us may have heard, the NHTSA (National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration) is currently investigating Volvo regarding the electronic throttle module defects that have plagued the 99-01 models. It is possible for the investigation to result in a recall.
However, despite the fact that this has been a chronic problem for MANY volvo owners, the NHTSA has only received 136 complaints!! (One of which involved an accident with 2 injuries.)
If you have had a problem with the electronic throttle module in your volvo, report it to the the NHTSA, either by calling 1-888-327-4236, or by using the form at this website:
The problem can also be reported to Volvo at 1-800-458-1552, but reporting it to the NHTSA is more urgent, I would say.
Best, Wes
