WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 IN MA AT 65 MPH DURING RUSH-HOUR,WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER, THE ETM LIGHT ON MY 2000 VOLVO XC V70 CAME ON AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER.

THE REPAIRS (REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE) COST $1100. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *NM
