I have a 2008 Volvo S60 2. 5 car. The driver's floor mat has two clips in the floor to secure it, but will not remain in place. It has come loose multiple times and slides under the gas pedal. I notice it only when I have difficulty/am unable to depress the gas pedal. I brought this to the attention of my deal Volvo of calabasas in late March 2010. They stated that the clips were properly installed. Almost immediately thereafter the driver's floor mat again came loose and again became lodged under the gas pedal, preventing it from operating properly. If the retention clips are properly installed, then I am concerned that the design may be defective. No injury or accident has occurred, but I want the NHTSA to be aware of this potential issue.
My car seems to be stalling. I talked to several mechanics and they said it may be the throttle. The car seems to stall as I attempt to accelerate. After I continue to accelerate it does improve, but once I stop or need to reduce my speed as I begin to re-accelerate it seems sluggish. From my understanding this may be an issue with the throttle. I don't let my car idle unless I am stopped in traffic and don't accelerate forcefully. I will be taking it in for servicing soon as was told there was a throttle issue with the Volvos. I am just not sure if there has been a recall.
