Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2001 volvo s60 t5 w/manual transmission stalled abruptly with a "reduced power" message on the dashboard computer display while accelerating on a highway onramp. this was a very dangerous situation, as another vehicle was behind me and came close to colliding with my vehicle due to immediate deceleration w/no warning/brake lights until i was able to react to the unexpected situation. after pulling over, stopping the car for a few minutes and restarting, i was able to continue driving it, but it seemed to run rough and "stutter" a bit for the rest of the trip. drove to local volvo dealership first thing next morning and resulting diagnosis & repair was "throttle unit internal fault" and replacement of the electronic throttle module (etm). engine fault codes were: ecm 915d, 916d, 904c, 928a & 903f. repairs totaled $1,012.03. *jb
