problem #1

Aug 262005

S60 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 112,699 miles
Car was surging while driving. Electronic throttle module (ETM) was cleaned at cost of $88. Problem continued until car lost power at 65 mph on the freeway. I was unable to accelerate or decelerate. Had to shift from drive to neutral in order to slow down until I was able to safely pull off the road. Problem did not reoccur after restart of engine for about one week, when it happened repeatedly thereafter. Finally replace ETM at cost of $1,100.
