2001 VOLVO S80 Complaints

ON TWO OCCASIONS, IN JANUARY OF 2006 AND JUNE OF 2006, MY 2001 VOLVO S-80 SEDAN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. I HAD NO POWER AND STEERING IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT IN JANUARY, KEYSTONE VOLVO REPLACED MY MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. WHEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN IN JUNE, THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE MODULE. *JB

I OWN A 2001 S80 VOLVO. I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 78 WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER. IT DROPPED FROM 70 MILES TO 10 MILES. I CALLED VOLVO AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN. ON MY WAY I WAS TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR FROM STALLING OUT AND THEREFORE WAS GIVEN A TICKET FOR SPEEDING. THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WHICH COST ME $951.00. I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT CHECKING INTO THIS ON TV. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.*JB
