Dt: the vehicle was losing power, it shuts down. Usually it will start back. Can cut across traffic, and it will just stall. Took it to the dealer many times, and they could not duplicate the problem. They put different parts on it to narrow down the problem. There is no power steering after it stalls. Back in january the turbo went it out and they replaced it. The vehicle was still skipping. This started happening around january 15, 2005. *nm the ABS control module was replaced.

What owners say
Engine stalled leaving me stranded in an intersection in rush hour traffic. Engine would not restart. Police officer had to push me off the street because car would not restart. Dealer still has not identified the problem.
1998 volvo s70 lost power then stalled multiple times (9) while driving approximately july 27, 2005 . I am concerned about danger of stalling in traffic and getting rear ended or if stalls in intersection. Or being stranded. Was able to get it to the dealer. They found "failing mass air flow sensor". They replaced it and it runs fine now. Old part is not available. But service and repair cost $369.20. I noticed that there are other s70 owners with this problem on mycarstats.com and an article in caranddriver.com.
98 volvo s70; experiencing a loss of power and stalling; I've had two mechanics look at my vehicle and no one can pin point the problem. I went to my local dealership, dick dyer volvo on august 2nd and they can not look at my car until august 19th. As a mother of a young child, it is frightening to pull out into heavy traffic. I emailed corporate volvo on 8/3/05 and haven't received a response. This had been a recurring problem since feb 05; about every 1-2 weeks my car will stall when I begin to slow down at a light.
Dt: vehicle stalled/died, and lost power due to throttle body failure.
