Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 4 separate occasions (3 city driving <35 mvph, and 1 hwy driving 60 mph) my 2001 volvo c70 convertible suddenly lost speed to <5 mph. on 3 occasions, i was able to restart the car, although after several attempts, and still get to my destination and back home without problems. during the highway travel, which was on a very rainy evening, i was able to keep the car running , after difficulty restarting, at slow speed. and with a lot of prayers, finally got to a parking lot where i left the car overnight, called for a ride home, and another ride to pick it up the following morning. took it to honolulu volvo dealer who said it was the throttle, module and computer, and cost over $1000 for parts alone. i did not have it replaced (they were special order from the mainland), and they said the car was drivable. i now have a temporary replacement which i need for work while the volvo is parked in the driveway!*jb
