Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 volvo cross country xc 70 that has experienced stalling and loss of power on several occasions. i contacted the dealer i purchased the car from and they informed me that it was a common problem with volvo's between the mileage of 35,000 and 45,000 miles. they also informed me that the repair was not covered under any recalls or extended warranty. a search of complaints on this type of vehicle on the internet show that there is an above average of failures of what is referred to as the "electronic throttle system". i feel that this is something that volvo is aware of but refuses to help the customer with. in my opinion, a $1,300 to $1,600 repair is not normal. volvo/ford needs to address this issue and recall these vehicles as soon as possible. *nm
