| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Three times my daughter's 2000 volvo s40 accelerated unexpectedly. twice (on the same night) it almost pulled her into a busy intersection. the third time it happened to the service manger (jeff) at a local volvo dealership. after two visits from a technician from volvo it was determined that a temperature sensor had failed. this failure led to excess air being fed to the engine which in turn led to excess fuel being fed to the engine, which in turn accelerated the engine. volvo replaced a temperature control sensor that operates the air slide in the engine on 12/7/05. *nm |
