 While driving on i-95 in ma at 65 mph during rush-hour,without any warning whatsoever, the etm light on my 2000 volvo xc v70 came on and the car immediately lost power. i narrowly escaped a serious accident with my wife and two children (ages 9 and 1). i was able to drive at maximum 35 mph to the nearest exit ramp and call for help. the repairs (replaced electronic throttle module) cost $1100. this is a widespread problem and should be recalled before someone dies. *nm
