Vehicle was in the hold position, as I was completing a transaction at my pnc bank drive up. Upon leaving my foot torched the accelerator lightly.suddenly the car started to accelerate at a very high speed. I braked but could not stop. You could hear the engine revving. I choose to hit a large tree rather than enter a main road.the car wast totaled.
Since purchasing in may 2019, my brake pads were replaced once and my rotors now three times. I have less than 20,000mi on my volvo. The reason is because of pulsations when I apply the brakes and it can be felt in the steering wheel, at times. My dealer has been stellar in addressing my concerns each time I have had to have it serviced. I have seen on various blogs and consumer sites that this is a rather common occurrence.
