Volvo has had stalling problems on some of its vehicles.  Owners may be entitled to compensation for costs, diminished value, or loss of use. Materials relating to Volvo stalling and engine problems are excerpted below.

Volvo subsidiary has reached an agreement with California regulators to extend the warranty of defective throttles in about 356,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada that are prone to stalling, the company said Tuesday.  The car maker will extend the warranty of the ETM throttle, which can become corroded and force the car to stall or slowdown, according to internal memos obtained by The Associated Press and later confirmed by  the company.

Volvo has  reached a deal with California regulators to extend the warranty of defective throttles in about 356,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada that are prone to stalling.   The car maker will extend the warranty of the ETM throttle, which can become corroded and force the car to stall or slowdown, according to internal memos obtained by The Associated Press and later confirmed by the company. See www.Centerforautosafety.org. The warranty will be expanded to 200,000 miles, or 10 years. The warranty now offers protection for up to seven years, or 70,000 miles.The deal would also reimburse consumers who have paid as much as $1,000 to have the part replaced. However, the deal does not trigger a recall. It only provides motorists with a replacement, or coverage for the part's cleaning, if it fails or begins to fail. A dashboard light indicates the part is becoming defective, Johnston said.  The affected vehicles include the 1999-2002 C70 coup and convertible models; 1999-2000 S70, V70 and V70SX models; 2000-2001 V70, V70XC and S60 models with turbocharged engines; 1999-2001 S80 models; and 2000-2002 V70 and S60 models with non- turbocharged engines, Johnston said.
