| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have sold this car to a neighbor, but he is away for 8 months so i have been driving it once a week about 30 miles. it has a little over 60,000 miles on the odometer. today i filled the tank and shortly afterwards the throttle control light came on. the car immediately began surging between 1 and 2,000 rpm and when i tried to stop the car at a stop sign it continued to surge and with great difficulty i halted the car. when i once again accelerated there was little response and about 30 seconds later it accelerated at a normal rate but the surging continued. i pulled off the road and turned off the ignition. when i started the car it initially revved to 5,000 rpm before settling down. i was fearful to drive the car. i had someone pick me up. i returned to the car an hour later and everything seemed fine. i drove the car home(about 8 miles) and parked it for about an hour. when i went to move it, the car began to surge again after the throttle light came on. i will call volvo tomorrow, but this was a very frightening experience. i believe i had a similar problem a few years back and they replaced the throttle control(i believe it was a recall) *jb |
