| Build Years/Makes/Models: | 1999 BMW 740IL
| | Occurances: |
| | Reference Number: | 10131593
| | Summary: | 10/04 PURCHASED A 1999 S70 VOLVO. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON; DEALERSHIP HAD IT MAINTENANCE, I WAS TOLD IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WAY THE GAS CAP WAS PUT ON. LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. 6/20 THE ETS LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON MORE FREQUENTLY AND LONGER. WHEN THE ETS LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO VOLVO OF LOUISVILLE. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACED ($1,400) AND GASKETS ($312). THEY MADE THE REPAIRS. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT, I COULD STILL HEAR THE SOUND PLUS BOTH LIGHTS WERE ON. THEY WORKED ON IT AGAIN, AND SAID THE O2 SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; INSTEAD THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX IT. I PICKED THE CAR UP, AND BEFORE I COULD GET HOME, THE CAR WAS NOW RUNNING HOT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WASN'T WORKING. I CALLED THEM - THEY ASKED ME TO KEEP IT OVER THE WEEKEND AND CALL MONDAY. WHEN THEY PICKED THE CAR UP, I TOLD THEM NOT ONLY WAS THE CAR RUNNING HOT, WITH NO AIR CONDITIONER, BUT IT WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK ($364). I PICKED THE CAR UP AND BEFORE I COULD CROSS THE STATE LINE, THE CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. FIRST THE IDLE WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH, AND YOU COULD TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL, BUT NO AMOUNT OF GAS WOULD MAKE THE CAR MOVE FORWARD. IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES, THEN IT WOULD FINALLY WORK NORMALLY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ASKED ME TO DRIVE IT FOR THE WEEKEND AND CALL MONDAY. ON SATURDAY, THE CAR GRADUALLY BECAME HARDER TO GET OUT OF THE STALL MODE. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, INSTEAD OF 2 TIMES AND IT WOULD FINALLY START AND WORK PROPERLY, ON SATURDAY IT TOOK 4 OR 5 TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK CORRECTLY. BY SUNDAY, AFTER IT PLACING ME AND MY RELATIVES IN AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, I PARKED IT AND TOLD THEM TO COME GET IT. ON MONDAY, THE REP WHO PICKED IT UP, CALLED IN A TOWING SERVICE BECAUSE OF SAFETY. THIS TIME THEY PUT A NEW THROTTLE BODY ON THE CAR ($812). *JB
