While driving my Volvo C30 rdesign, I stopped at a stop sign before I entered main road from parking lot area vehicle began to accelerate to a high speed independently causing the car to move towards the intersection. No cars were approaching so I continued turning but it was very unsafe. It happened before at fort hood and near my house in temple TX. Always same conditions; as I start to accelerate the vehicle jump into a high speed or gear. This morning the vehicle was on high rev idle, did not went down until I change to manual and back to automatic. Please advice.
The contact owns a 2012 Volvo C30. The contact stated that while the brakes were being depressed, the vehicle accelerated independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure however, the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 361 and the current mileage was 1200.
Volvo C30 2008 has very small space between brake pedal,accelerator and console which make the shoe trapped under the brake pedal. This may very serious accident.
Very small foot room on driver side. Shoe traps under brake pedal sometime, make some delay of using brake.
