general problems of the 1999 Volvo S80

We live in a mountainous rural area and I was going grocery shopping in the afternoon. My car seemed to be running fine. After I buckled my two children into their carseats and loaded my car with my bags of groceries, the car didn't have the power to get out of the parking lot. It wouldn't accelerate. I put it in 1st gear and it was not revving up. I managed to get on the main road and before an uphill grade, I knew that the car was unsafe to go and it wouldn't make it up the hill. I stopped on the side of the road, barely enough room for me to pull over. I called my husband to come get me and the kids. He was on his way. Cars were speeding past us and I didn't feel we were in a safe place. I thought I should try to move the car to someone's driveway and get off the main road. After some time passed, I started the car again, it was revving. I took a chance to make it up the hill. I called my husband and told him our route. We made it home. I remembered that we received a recall notice dated March 16, 2009. I pulled it out of the glove compartment and called turner Volvo to arrange to have it fixed. They told me that the timeframe had expired 5 months ago, even though we are under 200,000 miles. When I researched this recall, I realized how flimsy it is. Yes the software for this car was installed 7/28/06 by the 1st owner, but the throttle wasn't failing so they didn't fix it in 2006. Volvo cars of n. A. Said it is only repaired when it fails. So here we are in 2009 and this failed part wasn't fix in 2006? me and my children were stranded on a hot July day on a rural road. Volvo knows this is an emergency issue, yet they have not and will not proactively fix it. In this recall #155, it says that "this condition could cause an unsafe situation and possibly a crash. " recall #155 needs to have more teeth in it. They have to fix it. My sister bought our s70 from us and I have warned her about this situation so that she doesn't wind up in danger.
