Default RE: ETS Light - ETM failure -> Volvo US admits to problem.

I guess that this issue justifies a lot of attention and input from members, particularly those that have been affected, or are likely to be affected.
I had an exchange of Emails with Don Willson of VEXED, who advised that my 2000 V70 Classic at 115000mls and with no ETM failure that I know of, is running on borrowed time, which is very worrying.(I have only had the car since 100,000mls)
What was interesting is that he advised that our Which? magazine is taking an interest and attempts are being made to get the BBC involved, presumably a program like Watchdog, which might sharpen the corporate mind?
I gather that Volvo's US arrangements for replacements on failure are not yet fully in place. Presumably Volvo is considering how to deal with the rest of the world and will make a statement soon - we hope! I trust that the VOC will be among the first to be advised.
