Consumer Description

MY 1999 VOLVO V70 XC SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN WHAT WERE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND THEN COAST DOWNHILL TO FIND A SAFE AREA IN WHICH TO PARK. THE ETC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN POWER AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED 20 MILES TO PIONEER VALLEY VOLVO IN SOUTH DEERFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS. THE CAR HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED.*JB
