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. I recently heard about the government checking into this on tv. Thank you for your help.

Cabin temperature sensor failed. The climate control system in my 2001 Volvo S80 began attempting to strongly cool the cabin on a cold day. Dealer informed us that the sensor that detects the temperature in the cabin had failed and was reading 100 degrees in the cabin causing the climate control to attempt to cool the cabin.
