2002 Volvo V70 Fuel system Problems

“The vehicle stalls or goes into limp mode often upon acceleration, but also apparently randomly. There is a recall for the same model of a different year described as vehicles going into the limp home mode without need . I took it to a Volvo mechanic and he found no problem, but he cleaned some parts and charged me. It still happens and is dangerous since the car could stall in traffic.

They offered no technical support which I thought was the least they should do. …”
