2002 V70 ETM Problem? V70-XC70 2002

Hi BB team. My wife's '02 V70 Turbo showed classic symptoms of ETM (electronic throttle module) failure 3 months ago (car went into limp mode, no codes, ran fine the next day). Took it to the dealer, who confirmed it was most likely the ETM, and dealer replaced it ($1,200 !!!). Car ran fine for about a month, then did the same thing again (again, no codes). Per BB post, I replaced MAF, which supposedly fails shortly after the ETM. Car ran fine for another few weeks, then ... another limp-mode episode identical to the first two. My wife took the car to the dealer (in limp mode), but the tech "was out for lunch" (grrr). Left the car at the dealer, when their tech was back, car ran fine (of course). Now dealer does not know what to do next (?!?!). Should I request a refund for the $1,200, and take the car to another dealer? Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Bernie
