Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On vacation, driving 50 mph on four-lane hwy 17 in south carolina when the car suddenly and without warning lost power and came to a complete stop in the highway. it would not restart. as traffic rushed by, my wife and i had to push the car off the road. after about 5 minutes of trying to restart, the car finally started and acted normally. we were within 20 miles of our destination, so we started out again only to stall about a quarter mile later. we coasted off the road and had the car towed 20 miles to the nearest volvo dealer. dealer replaced the throttle control module. car had 45k miles on it, but was 3 months out of warranty so we had to pay entire $850 bill. despite our repeated requests, neither the s.c. dealer nor our local dealer in m.o. would help us with the cost. *jb
