ChrissiJ:

I am the one who started all this! Regardless, I spoke to someone from Volvo in NJ today, someone from Victor Dorrian's office, whoever that is.

She was sympathetic, but insists that Volvo monitors problems and dealer records consistently and constantly, and there is nothing that shows them the ETS issue is a problem.

I asked them to buy my car back. They refused. She did offer that I could call her the next time my ETS light goes on and I am forced off the highway and stopped dead in the middle of traffic in a really bad neighborhood. Thanks, that will help.

I appreciate your comments and did use the safety, reputation and caring card with her, but she, nor my dealer cared. I did not rant and rave as I wanted to. However, this is a huge safety issue that Volvo needs to deal with. I asked Pat in New Jersey what they were planning to do. Nothing, she said.

Thanks for all posts. Picked the car up today from the dealer, $50 poorer because of extended warranty, but at least I'm alive.
