Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: About 2 months ago i was driving about 65 mph when my volvo, year 2000, s70 started loosing power and a light came on, i believe it said egr. i pulled over and read the owners manual that said to turn the car off and turn it back on and it may reset itself. it did not. i turned around to come home and drove city streets. it would stall if i did not play with the pedal when i hit lights or made turns. i could only get the car to run at slow speeds as stepping on the pedal did not have an effect on acceleration. i made it home and the next day took it to the dealer for repair. it drove with the same problem to the dealer. they replaced a heavy cube about 10 inches x 4" x 3" that controlled something for about $700. *jb
