| Description of the problem | I purchased a volvo for their reputation on safety. So why does our volvo have an acceleration problem? I could be at a stop light and the car revs up to 2000 rpm's and starts to go with my foot on the brake with me almost hitting the car in front of me then when we first start up the car the brakes don't work? The car still rolls. What's going on with volvo their making me think their just as bad as toyota! |
