Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 1/6/07 i was traveling via interstate when the 2004 volvo s60t experienced what was displayed on the screen as reduced engine performance, and quickly slowed to about 40 mph. i was very nearly rear-ended as i was in the fast lane in the process of passing a slower vehicle. i proceeded to the nearest exit and coasted into a gas station. i turned off the car and tried to restarted it. however, it made a loud noise, shook, and then failed to crank. it was towed to the nearest volvo dealership, where they informed me it was a faulty throttle body (etm). the car only had 58,000 miles , 8,000 out of warranty. the repairs included removing and cleaning the etm, replacing the throttle body, and etm software reloaded for a total of $14,000. 3 months later, while i was in the hospital giving birth, my husband experienced the same malfunction on the way to the hospital, lost power, and had to get alternate transportation. we traded the car immediately without repair. *ak
