Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving my car on the highway and as soon as I reached 60 MPH my ets light came on along with my brake light and oil light. My speedometer went to zero and my car was acting strange. I pulled over and stopped and heard a loud noise from the engine. I turned off my car. I called aaa and asked for a tow. While the tow truck was coming, I tried turning my car on again and the ets light came on flashing and the car wouldn't start. I started to google this problem and saw many people had the ets on their Volvo recalled. I called Volvo and they declined to help me. …”
