| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Speed control problem. my 2001 volvo s60 lost power last night, while i was in the fast lane driving 70 mph on interstate 5! i rapidly lost speed and by some miracle was able to weave through traffic to the roadside. the engine continued to run but it was as if the gas pedal was not connected to the engine. i managed to proceed at fast idle speed to an off ramp and found a parking lot, where i shut off the engine. i contacted the company i bought the car from and they suggested that i try to re-start the engine, which i did and the problem had corrected itself. i have scheduled my volvo for service. the irony is that my wife has a 2001 volvo xc station wagon and the same problem occurred with her vehicle last september. the volvo dealer corrected the problem by replacing an ecm and re-programming it. the problem with her volvo xc hasn't re-occurred. the real concern is that in both instances, we were traveling on an interstate freeway at high speed when the problem occurred and only by pure luck didn't cause an accident!!*jb |
