Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2 weeks ago my 2000 v70 xc abruptly loss acceleration power, where the vehicle could not go over 20 mph and then stalled which lost power steering ability while my wife was driving on the highway with my 2 young children. luckily, she pulled over to the side of the highway and avoided an accident. she shut the car off and restarted with no apparent problem and drove the remainder of the way with her hazards on. the car had just been back from the volvo dealer after dealing with another unrelated issue approx a week earlier. i drove the car to the volvo dealer and experienced the same problem, but was driving cautiously. the dealer replaced the electronic throttle module which cost approx $1,000.00. i previously had the same problem with a 1999 volvo s80 t6, which i subsequently sold due to repeated attempts to fix the problem!! *jb
