XC70

  • 121,000 miles
Engine hesitation upon acceleration and sudden transition into the "reduced engine performance" mode which was extremely dangerous on the freeway. The incident happened several times with the failure codes pointing to the "ETM". in other cases the engine was surging after start and then went back to the "limp" mode.
