On September 10, 2004, my Volvo xc-70 (2001) stalled without warning while I was driving 55 mph on 695 west in baltimore just before the exit for I-83n (exit 24). I was almost hit by a semi and several other cars. My car had to be towed and the electronic throttle body was replaced. However, on December 1, 2004, the same problem occurred when my car stalled at an intersection but we were able to restart it. The electronic throttle was repaired again.
