Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I HAVE MADE A RECENT COMPLAINT REGARDING SAFETY CONCERNS WITH A FAULTY ETM (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE) ON MY VEHICLE. I DROPPED IT OFF AT MY LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR VOLVO AND I DID NOT TELL THEM THAT THE CAR PRODUCED AN ERROR CODE P2135 / ECM-9200 -- THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR --FAULTY SIGNAL, BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE WHAT ERROR CODES THEY WOULD PULL OFF. IT IS MY UNDERSTAND EVEN IF I RESET THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT THE DEALER IS ABLE TO PULL THE CODES OF THE COMPUTER. WELL IN THIS CASE THE DEALER CALLED ME TODAY AND ADVISED ME THAT NO CODES COULD BE PULLED BUT WANTED TO KNOW IF THE PERSON WORKING ON MY CAR COULD TAKE IT HOME WITH HIM AND TAKE A READER. I SAID NO, BUT I DID NOT TAKE MY CAR THERE BECAUSE I WANT SOMETHING FOR FREE. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THE VOLVO BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY DESIGN. WHAT WILL IT TAKE NEXT TIME FOR ME TO BE ON THE FREEWAY AND DRIVING AND THE ERROR TO BE DISPLAYED AND CAUSE ME TO DROP MY SPEED DOWN AND GET INTO AN ACCIDENT? I FEAR THAT DAY WILL COME SOMEDAY IF NOT ME SOMEONE ELSE. *TR
MY 2006 VOLVO S60 WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD (AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 45F). DEPENDING ON HOW COLD IT IS, IT TAKES FROM 5 TO 20 MINUTES FOR THE VEHICLE TO WARM ENOUGH THAT I CAN SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE. THE DEALER IS UNHELPFUL: I LEFT IT OVERNIGHT FOR THEM TO CHECK. EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD NOT SHIFT FOR THEM, A SERVICE REP STARTED IT, NOT THE TECHNICIAN SO THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS I TAKE IT BACK TO THEM AGAIN. *TR
MY 2006 VOLVO S60 GETS STUCK IN PARK. I PROPERLY START THE VEHICLE, APPLY THE BRAKE AND ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK AND IT WON'T BUDGE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE "WASTED SOMETHING STICKY IN THE GEAR SHAFT". THEY NEVER TOOK ANYTHING APART OR INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BEFORE MAKING THIS DETERMINATION. THE VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY COME OUT OF PARK AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF TRYING TO SHIFT THE GEAR. ONCE DRIVING, THE SHIFTER CAN EASILY BE MOVED TO PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, ETC. WHILE BEING DRIVEN!!! *TR
