| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Picked up my brand new 2005 (4 miles on odometer) volvo s60 on june 9 at dealer. while driving to work the next am, and with 37 miles on the odometer, i approached an intersection. i braked normally and came to a stop. without warning, the engine raced and the car drove into the intersection. my foot was still on the brake. i narrowly missed an on coming vehicle. i regained control and got the vehicle off the road. the car seemed to operate normally and i tried several stops and starts without problem. i continued towards work and about 5 miles later the same thing happened at another intersection. without warning the engine raced (tach shot up) and the car took off on its own. i contacted volvo and had the car towed away. volvo later told me the main engine computer registered a fault code caused by a "loose wire". i asked for details and the fault code number but volvo did not respond. the dealer claimed they fixed the problem. i request your help to resolve this dangerous situation. this car may be defective or there may be a systemic design or manufacture defect that endagers volvo drivers. i am reminded of the audi 5000 problem. my problem sounds the same. |
