Consumer Description

THE CAR THROTTLE IS FAULTY. MY CAR REVS TO HIGH RPM WHEN IDLE AND AT LOW SPEEDS. IT ALSO IS IN LIMP MODE. WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND RECALLED IN 2006 I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE, BUT THE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO LUNGE FORWARD AT LOW SPEEDS AND REVVING IN IDLE. I WAS TOLD BY VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WILL DO FOR THE PROBLEM SINCE THE SOFTWARE HAD BEEN UPGRADED EVEN THOUGH THE THROTTLE IS FAULTY. *TR
