I just picked up a 2004 XC last Saturday. It has 15,000 miles on it. I've never owned a Volvo before. Yesterday, while we were on vacation in the White Mountains, the car started to slow to a crawl. The throttle was reving up and down repeatedly. We got the car towed back to the dealer we bought it from (120 miles from where we were stuck). They called today to let us know the throttle control module would need to be replaced and they had to special order the part. I won't have my car back for another 5 days or so. Needless to say we're not too happy. I've always owned Japanese cars and I've never been stuck on the side of the road the way I was with this Volvo. We both love the way it drives and the safety features, but my wife is strongly leaning towards getting rid of it and going back to Japanese quality. She's afraid of getting stuck on the side of the road again. I can't say I blame her, but I'm not sure what we should do. Maybe I'll ask the dealer to add a little Japanese quality into it while it's there for the five days (that's one day longer than we had it before it failed on us).
Wah.
