Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Repeated skipping and hesitation of our v70 t5 sw along with a "reduced performance error" message resulted in our going to the danbury ct dealership, where they told us the throttle and software needed replacement. the cost was $899.17. we service our car regularly and have the documentation to prove it. we have had no accidents with the car prior to this engine problem. because of widespread reports of the same problem occurring on other volvo v70 station wagons, we believe the cause of the engine skipping to be an inherent structural flaw and we request reimbursement of our expenses. the dealer who made the $899.17 repair was volvo of danbury, 203-743-4667.*jb
