What owners wrote
While parked on a hill or upward slope, or standing still on these hills or slopes, the vehicle rolls back very fast. This happens between the time it takes to release the brake pedal and press the accelerator. This has caused several near misses. Consumer would like NHTSA to review this safety defect and for volvo dealers to alert current and potential volvo owners of this defect.
This car was stuck in park. We could not shift the car out of park into drive. We were stuck in a line of traffic and it was a dangerous incident. We repeatedly correctly depressed the button on the gear selector knob and and at the same time depresssed the brake pedal ( we have done this thousands of times on this vehicle from 2001 to present without any problems) . It took over 15 minutes of turning off the enigine and restarting it, turning the steering back and forth to finally get it out of park into drive.
