I WAS ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-94 WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STOMPED FLUSH TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE REVVED UNCONTROLLABLY AND I TRIED TO CLUTCH IT DOWN BUT KEPT ON ACCELERATING. AT THIS POINT I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION BUT THAT DID NO GOOD. ALL THE INSTRUMENTATION TURNED OFF BUT THE ENGINE WAS MAXED OUT AND WAS GOING BERSERK. I HAD A CLUTCH SO I PUSHED IT INTO NEUTRAL BUT THE RPMS WENT TO THE 7,000S. WITH THE KEYS OFF, I PULLED OF THE INTERSTATE DESPERATELY TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE RPMS BUT NOTHING WORKED. I FINALLY PUT IT INTO GEAR TO TRY AND STOP IT AND IT LITERALLY 'BLEW UP'. IT'S TOTALED. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS IF THIS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY KIND OF RECALL ON THIS. VOLVO WOULDN'T ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS. IT WAS A GREAT CAR BUT IT WAS...
IGNITION KEY CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONING. INSERT KEY TO START CAR, KEY ROTATES 360 DEGREES WITHOUT ENGAGING. TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE KEY TO NOT ROTATE AND ACTUALLY START THE CAR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE THREADS ON FORUMS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT OCCURS AFTER 100,000 MILES. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $600 - TO $800.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 40, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 1/2 MILE AND THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER APPEARED TO BE WORKING AGAIN FOR A SHORT DISTANCE AND THEN WENT BACK TO 0 WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION IT STARTED WORKING,ONLY TO RETURN TO 0 FOR ABOUT 1 MILE. IT KICKED IN AGAIN. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE SPACE OF 20 MINUTES.
