Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I came to a stop in heavy interstate traffic (35e north in st. Paul). Just as the car was almost stopped, it revved-up/surged forward. I was afraid that the brake would not hold and we would hit the car in front of us. Three young girls were in the car with me. The car has been clunking into gear at low speeds lately, hesitating from a cold start, almost cutting out when idling at stop lights and then revving up only to start the cycle over again. None of this happens at higher speeds. …”

Mechanic said transmission fluid completely burnt up, changed. Took to Volvo 8/8/09, checked it out, everything was fine. Offered a software upgrade for $72. 8/10/09 did the same thing, local mechanic said burnt worse than the first and changed again. Driving back to ft.
