“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 volvos, and also because I have a 4 year old child, and am 9 mo. Pregnant. Thought you guys should know!”
