| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1,2) volvo s80 stalled while my wife was driving 60 mph in rush hour interstate highway traffic. car lost power, would not accelerate, power steering lost; she got the car to the side of the road just in time before a one-lane construction barrier; otherwise, traffic would have been backed up for miles for a long time (there was no turn around available for tow-truck in this part of the interstate, the tow-truck would have had to back up the highway or try to make it up the grassy divider embankment to get to her stalled car. luck was on her side; no injuries, and no blocked traffic-this time. 3) car towed to volvo dealer, where it restarted. the dealer service department could not find the source of the problem, reset sensors and replaced a vacuum hose. i am concerned that this car has a defective etm valve and that the car is still a danger to drive.*jb |
