Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Had taken my s80 to the volvo dealership a number of times complaining of engine hesitation and stalling. volvo"s diagnostic computer system "vadis" output codes clearly showed default codes indicating a faulty module. the service manager at this steadfastly refused to replace the module "due to cost". i warned him of the potential consequences of trying to operate this vehicle with unreliable engine firing and the associated "stalling" that occurs without warning. i expressed my concerns to him about the danger that this problem presented for me and other vehicles which i had experienced during previous "stallings". unfortunately, after tremendous research and a number of phone calls before i could bring this info to bear to force the dealership to honor their warranty i experienced a "stalling" event while driving on the expressway which lead to a single car accident,resulting in a total loss of my car. *nm
