Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On highway, car decrease speed rapidly, poor performance warning on dashboard , check engine, stalls when you stop (lights, stop signs, etc), barely made it home. no warning!!!!!! this happened july 2004 and car was under warranty. air mass meter flow replaced by dealer as it was under warranty. same problem happened july 22 2005. same part replaced for free only because it was less than one year since they had replaced the part. they recommend a new throttle body for $910 now that car is not under warranty. why wasn't that part replaced last year? this has happened twice while on the freeway with children in the car. very dangerous situation when you suddenly stop on a freeway going 60 mph with no response from the gas pedal. since i heard this story, i contacted volvo 1-800 number to ask what they were going to do and they said they will call me back by the end of the week. the local dealer said their phone was ringing all day and the service manager was in a meeting all day. i hope you get many reports as this has certainly been a problem for us.*jb
