ETS light just came on ????? CAR DIED???? S70

My wife's car just died! Hesitation the last two days starting bucking today rpm's dropped to 200 rpm,s wouldn't go above 10 -15 mph and the ETS light came on. The car is a 2000s70gltse that we have owned since new and has been excellently maintained. It is still under warranty with 43,000 miles on it. Any thoughts. Thanks Mike

    Not unusual for '99-'02 Volvos. Get it towed to a dealership and they'll replace the electronic throttle module. Only a dealer can do it because software is required in the new unit or the car won't run.
