Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Just after entering the highway and attaining highway speed my 1999 vovlo s80 lost power and had to be coasted off the ramp. the emission service warning came on and the vehicle was idling very rough. the car was towed in to a repair shop and the computer codes indicated the throttle module had failed. after hearing that their was an extended warranty issued i checked the website and learned that this had happened to others. fortunately this power failure occurred while in the rt hand aloowing the vehicle to safely exit the hwy without incident. had this loss of power occurred in ione the interior lanes then this incident would've ended in a collision and most likely resulted in injuries to my family. this condition warrants an immediate recall. *nm
