I was driving my car on the highway and as soon as I reached 60 mph my ets light came on along with my brake light and oil light. My speedometer went to zero and my car was acting strange. I pulled over and stopped and heard a loud noise from the engine. I turned off my car. I called aaa and asked for a tow. While the tow truck was coming, I tried turning my car on again and the ets light came on flashing and the car wouldn't start. I started to google this problem and saw many people had the ets on their Volvo recalled. I called Volvo and they declined to help me. They said I need to pay for a new ets module. They said my car doesn't have a recall on it. I found this to be not true after checking your website for recalls along with another.gov website. I called Volvo again and the same guy told me not to call them anymore and he hung up the phone. When my car was finally at home, I called my mechanic who used to work at a different Volvo (30 miles from where I live) and he came to look at my car. We switched out the battery, put in a new starter, new alternator, switched out all my fuses with new fuses, changed spark plugs and spark wires, put new coils on and did an oil change. The car started, however the ets light has been on ever since and when I reach highway speeds, it does the same thing. I have not driven it since. The ets is recalled for my Volvo when I entered the VIN. I need help with getting Volvo to fix the recall or do something about it. The state patrol did come behind me to ask if everything was okay as I was waiting for the tow truck. I don't have any police reports but I do have the officers card if needed.
