Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 VOLVO S-80 T6, WHICH I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH. BEFORE I HAD IT, MY SON OWNED IT AND ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT. ONE IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START, IT STALLS, AND IT SURGES FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. ALL SINCE 2005. JUST LAST MONTH I RAN INTO MY GARAGE DOOR AND SEVERAL TIMES ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN VEHICLE CRASHES DUE TO IT EITHER SURGING FORWARD OR DYING ON ME. I READ HOW THERE IS A POSSIBLE RECALL ON 2001 MODELS, SO WHY DOES IT NOT INCLUDE 2000 YRS. DOES IT TAKE AN ACCIDENT WITH LIVES LOST BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. SO WHY IS IT STILL HAPPENING? THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 3RD OF 2009, WHERE I RAN INTO MY GARAGE, CAUSED FROM THE CAR SURGING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. *TR
