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

My V70 is now on 85,000 miles with the original ETM...

I'm getting nervous now waiting on Volvo to do something.

I asked Volvo "Customer Care" about the current plan and was told:
"Volvo UK has no plans regarding this component at present".

Great.

I don't mind so much buying a replacement, but if that fails after 10,000 miles then I'll be stuffed. I do 25,000 miles a year, or £2,000 worth of replacement ETMs!!! That's £167 a month to put aside for ETM failure...

That's just not even funny.

Unless something is done soon, the first signs of failure will lead to me trading my car in for a Honda or something else designed to last.
That would be sad, because I do love my V70.
