Consumer Description

I HAVE VOLVO V70 T5 WAGON WITH REDUCED PERFORMANCE AND UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION AND REDUCTION OF ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHILE ENTERING THE GARAGE AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CLIMATE CONTROL IN THE CAR STOPPED WORKING. MY DEALER ED SCHMIDT VOLVO IN PERRYSBURG,OHIO NOW SAIDS THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY THROOTTLE MODULE ($1300) AND THE PROCESSOR FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL ($1400). THE VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE THOUSAND MILES BEYOND WARRANTY. I HAVE A DANGEROUS LEMON IN MY HANDS AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. I THANK GOD THAT MY YOUNG CHILDREN WHERE NOT NEAR THE GARAGE WHEN THE CAR ACCELEARTED OUT OF CONTROL. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION. *NM
