| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Yesterday morning, in a busy intersection (charlotte nc) my car, volvo s80 2001 just stopped during a turn. it was utter chaos--i was petrified with a large truck only inches from my bumper. then it later stopped at a red light. on my way home, it wouldn't stay still. it kept jumping forward without the gas being pressed. as i was turning into the mechanic shop this morning, it stopped once again, luckily my rear end was inside the parking lot, otherwise i would have definitely been rear ended. this morning the mechanic says the problem assessed, at a cost of 1000$; but the car may still have the same problem because it is a manufacturer's problem. i purchased this car in may 05. i bought it because volvo boasts of being one of the most safe cars manufactured. well, stopping during turning, going without the gas being pressed and stalling at a light doesn't seem very safe for my 8 yr old. i have almost been rear ended twice, with my young son in the back seat. thank goodness nothing has happened yet. i am currently waiting for my service date, because the mechanics i have contacted are swamped with the same types of complaints. i am very nervous to drive the 9 miles to the mechanic, upset to drive the 6 miles to day care before going to the mechanic, terrified by the thought of being rear-ended with my small child in the car and dismayed that i cant make it 3 miles to work without my car ceasing to operate. please help us. i was going online today to tell volvo about my issue when this web site was displayed. please help my family and other families remain safe on the road in their volvo cars. *jb |
