2002 Volvo S60 engine complaints

I was driving on the freeway and without warning the engine lost power and the check engine light came on. I coasted off to the shoulder and the engine would only idle, and even that was rough. The message indicator on the dash said something like "reduced engine performance". I had the car towed to gengras volvo in meriden. They replaced the etm , software and throttle body at the cost of $1195.43. About two weeks later, I was driving on the freeway and the same thing happened. This time the dealership said the electrical connections to the etm must be bad and replaced same at no cost to me. Now about 10 days after that repair, the same thing happened to me on the freeway again. Since it is the weekend, I have to wait until monday for the dealer to give me the diagnosis this time. Since the second failure of the part I have only driven in the right most lane of the highway so that when the car dies again I can get to the shoulder safely. It is a good thing I do this as the issue comes on suddenly and without any warning.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 volvo s60. The vehicle unnecessarily goes into uneven engine idling when driving between 10-30 MPH. The failure prevents the brakes from working properly. When depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would continue to roll instead of stopping. When the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, they replaced the throttle, installed a new ECM, and replaced the mass air flow pipe. The current mileage was 63,600 and failure mileage was 59,554. Updated 12-12-07. *kb there was a mass air flow failure. Updated
Sep 29,2006 my wife was driving home and the car shut off as she was making a turn. She also noted the signal lights and dash lights were acting erratically. Come monday we are scheduling a visit to the dealership. This appears to be a safety issue the reason being suppose she had been in highway traffic.
Engine is idling very low. Has died on major thoroughfares 3 times in past 2 weeks. Did restart. Taking it in in 2 days (earliest appointment was a week from when I called the dealership).
I have had many problems with the transmission, car will stall in traffic, car would not start at all. This car has been in service many many times. The problems persist. I have sent 9 emails to their head quarters since 12/5, no reply.
Fumes entered the passenger compartment of the vehicle, the consumer was told the odor was thought to be a cosmolene like substance, that would eventually subside, however the problem was still there. *ak
