Consumer Description

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON MY 2000 VOLVO S40. ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT PRESSING PEDAL. MUST PRESS BRAKE HARD TO STOP. CONTINUES TO REV HIGH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, MY SERVICE SHOP REPLACED THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE BUT IT OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AFTER THAT. SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAS INDICATED HE CANNOT POTENTIALLY DIAGNOSE UNLESS IT IS OCCURRING WHEN HE CAN DRIVE AND LOOK AT IT. IT IS A SERIOUS RISK FOR CRASH OR INJURY. *TR
