problem #1

Feb 102004

XC70 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,685 miles
Engine failed on 2001 Volvo V70 xc on trip to North Carolina. Subsequently, it restarted, operating under "reduced power". I brought the car to a Volvo dealer in myrtle beach who diagnosed the problem as a throttle module failure and repaired it at a cost of $656. The car had 61,685 miles (beyond the 50,000 mile warranty) and was purchased on 9/9/2000. It is my understanding that there have been widespread failures of this component and that there are various actions in process that might result in recall. I would like to add my problem to the list.
