Volvo V70 2004 wagon - driving on city streets. Car stalled 3X and lost steering control 2 X. had it towed to dealer (power Volvo, torrance ca) but they could not duplicate problems (all 3 incidents happened within 10 mins of each other when I was driving). Told me the next day the throttle was "sticking" and they would "clean" it. This makes me nervous due to the past throttle problems with Volvo, and also because I have a 4 year old child, and am 9 mo. Pregnant. Thought you guys should know!

2004 Volvo V70 accelerated at high speed when placed on drive and consumer could not stop the vehicle using the brake. Consumer air bags did not deploy. The vehicle traveled over a cement barrier blowing out the two rear tires. The consumer had to turn off the vehicle's ignition to stop the vehicle. The manufacturer sent someone to inspect the vehicle but they were unable to find anything wrong.
