Engine constantly surges (idles up and down) with or without airconditioning on. Car will leap ahead on occasion when engine revs up, driver has to be vigilant and able to step on brake to stop car at any time. This has been reported to a Volvo dealer and in the dealer's repair shop 4 times and still has not been fixed. Much care has to be taken when parking to make sure not to impact other cars or objects when the car decides to leap forward. Engine idle is constantly going up and down, will not idle at a constant rpm.
