Please reply to this thread if your Volvo had the software upgrade and still has suring problem.

Just like the guy on TV, I had my software upgraded in May 06, but still has problem every since; even after I cleaned the throttle body.

 

could be that the throttle itself is actually bad. They do fail above and beyond just the software. Software and a dirty throttle are the usual culprits and are easy to repair but sometimes one of the potentiometers inside actually breaks.

 

i think they had another software updateavailable...I got one in November or December of 2006....

 

I still have the throttle problem even after the software upgrade. They have told me its the mass flow air sensor--I think they lie.

 

ok dont let the dealership lie to you this recall covers throttlebody cleaning software and the throttle posistioning sensor!!!! your sencor might need replacing the dearlership i went to gave me hell about this and basically i said ill just call my lawyer so he can come down here and im a buisness owner so ill just contact bbb too just let them know who is in charge to test if your mass is causing the surging unplug it and drive the car after about1-2 mins should basically run fine will kinda sputter in begining. hte mass is located on the filter housing has i plug about the size of half of your thumb and plugs into the pipe coing off the housing after the filter. (unplugging mass will throw a code.)

 

So, I brought it back in hoping thatthey can find the ETM at fault, but ended up with a mass airflow replacement costing $550. It drives fine now. But in my mind, it's a matter of sooner or later before the ETM goes out. I hope it actually fail before the extend warranty goes away so I can get a new one.

I emailed the news channel and got this respond today. I hope everyone who still has problem contact the lawyer so he can continue pressing Volvo for all of our sakes.
