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. was told that the part was not replaced and the warranty was no longer covering car (10 years/200000 miles). as a recent purchaser of this car i had no clue of the replacement not previously done or even needed. all was new to me and they refused. 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

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

The software in my 1999 volvo s70 has failed, which has resulted in an unsafe condition. the car surges, braking is impacted, it runs irregularly. this is a continuous problem. the problem was caused when the dealer installed new software in a recall campaign. now, the dealer disavows any issue, claiming this was a coincidence that the software failed. i have contacted volvo with no resolution. *tr

The volvo s70 electronic throttle control is acting up. the car when started idles erratically. *tr

I was driving normally on a parkway in wash dc. suddenly the engine lost power and would not go more than 10 mph. 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
