    Help! I have a 2001 XC wagon with 61 miles. Two days ago while
    driving 55 mph, my car just stopped accelerating and then stopped
    running. The "Engine failure" light came on. I waited five minutes
    and it started back up and was able drive again. It happened again
    yesterday. This time the light read "Engine Service required" Does
    anyone know what might be the problem?

    It should store a fault code, I'd be curious to know what it says.

    Also 61 miles? I'm assuming that's 61K?

    This sounds like the V70 Electronic Throttle System problem. It is well
    documented and Volvo has an extended warranty on the Electronic Throttle
    System. It is covered for at more than 61 miles ;) Volvo has extended
    the warranty for the Magneti Marelli ETM to 10 years/200,000 miles.
     Contact your dealer.
