Consumer Description

THE EMT LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE ACCELERATOR. THIS WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING AND THEN THE POWER RETURNED AND THE CAR SPED UP AND THEN THERE WAS AGAIN A LOSS OF POWER IN THE ACCELERATOR. I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED IN TO THE SHOP BUT I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS HAPPENING TO 1999-2000 VOLVOS. MY CAR WAS ALWAYS SERVICED BY THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS EVER SAID ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURING.
