Consumer Description

IN MID-DECEMBER THE CAR STARTED BUT RAN ROUGH AND LACKED POWER. PREVIOUS TO THAT IT RAN FINE; SINCE THEN IT HAS HAD VARIOUS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS RELATED TO ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND LACKS POWER. OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE RUNS FINE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR INPUT TO INCREASE SPEED. SOMETIMES THE CAR STUMBLES BUT ACCELERATES ADEQUATELY. MORE OFTEN THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND NOT INCREASE SPEED BEYOND THAT IRRESPECTIVE OF ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSURE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE NORMALLY. REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY MODULE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS PART IS SUBJECT TO A NHTSA AGREEMENT WITH VOLVO THAT REQUIRES VOLVO TO REPLACE THE UNIT FREE BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO THAT AND CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIR. *TR
