Thought you may be interested in my Volvo S60 story . . . My Volvo dealer returned my S60 12 months before the lease was up because of a recurring problem where my car would not accelerate and then it would stop completely. I lost count of the number of times this happened but when my 19 year old had this happen in the middle of a downtown area I could not live with this car any longer. The dealer tried to fix the vehicle to no avail.
Steering wheel froze and vehicle could not accelerate. Towed to the dealer who found out that the cause was a defect in the axle. When the consumer managed to pull over and placed the vehicle into park, the vehicle continued to move. On a separate occasion, the ignition chip had to be changed because the vehicle would not start.
