NHTSA Complaint #10131170 — 2001 VOLVO V70XC

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY 58 IN GOLDEN, CO MY 2001 VOLVO XC WAGON SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I COULD ONLY GO 10 MPH ON JULY 20, 2005. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT AND PARKED THE CAR FOR AN HOUR. IT RESTARTED AND RAN NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I HAD A SECOND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING 65 ON 6TH AVENUE IN GOLDEN. THE MESSAGE CENTER ON MY DASH SAID SERVICE WAS URGENT, SO I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE EXIT RAMP FOR 1.5 HRS. UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED WHICH TOWED THE CAR TO RICKENBAUGH VOLVO IN DENVER FOR A COST OF $142.50. THE NEXT DAY, I PAID RICKENBAUGH VOLVO IN DENVER $982.53 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE UNIT AND GASKET, AND REMOVE, CLEAN AND REPLACE THE CRANK CASE VENTILATION NIPPLE AND $272.68 FOR EMISSIONS SERVICE. *JB
