Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Volvo s70 1999 model, 3 times has stalled while driving..ets will light up on the control panel and immediately the car will no longer move forward. i switch off the ignition and then wait for the light to go off so i can once again drive. this has happened 3 different times and luckily i was not rear-ended while moving over to the shoulder of the road. i reported it to volvo of clear lake who reported nothing wrong with my car. the car computer did have it recorded that a problem had happened with the electronic throttle control system, but after an inspection by volvo, no repair was made to the system. i am frightened to drive in any freeway lane that is not next to a shoulder....i must always be able to pull over at any time. no special event has led/caused this failure. i always take my car into the volvo dealer for the required maintenance and service. *nm
