Consumer Description

I JUST BOUGHT A 2000 S80 VOLVO WITH 125K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN SURGING UP AND DOWN WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES WHILE I DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. JUST THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS WHILE SLOWING TO TURN INTO WORK IT DIED NEARLY CAUSING ANOTHER CAR TO REAR END ME. I HAS HAS ALSO DIED A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES TODAY, LUCKILY ON A SIDE STREET, BOTH TIMES WHILE SLOWING DOWN. I CAN SEE MY TACHOMETER SURGING UP AND DOWN WITH THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLING OUT EVERYTIME I STOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS MAY BE IN PART TO A FAULTY THROTTLE CONTROL MODLUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS FOR ME AS I AM GETTING AFRAID OF DRIVING MY CAR FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT. *NM
