Vehicle Speed Control problem

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.
