Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The volvo began to sporadically lose power and stall. i called the volvo dealer and made an appointment after it stalled while cornering and my wife had almost lost control of the vehicle. on 9/23/04 the vehicle was towed to volvo. they checked for codes, battery cables, fuel and ignition and battery and found nothing wrong. they replaced a relay. total cost was $173.15. the problem was still present and i had the vehicle towed back in on 11/16/04. they then diagnosed the problem as a faulty throttle unit. they replaced it and performed a software reload. the cost of that service was $ 1077.14. the vehicle has not stalled since. *nm
