The contact owns a 2005 Volvo V50. While attempting to park the vehicle, the contact removed his foot from the brake pedal and the vehicle proceeded to move forward. The contact applied the emergency brake and the key would not release from the ignition. In addition, the vehicle would not drive in reverse. While walking home in the rain, the contact slipped and fell and broke her right wrist in three places. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the transmission shifter cable clip failed, which caused the cable to split in half. The shifter cable will be replaced at the estimated cost of $450. The dealer will assist with 50% of the repair cost. A report was filed with the manufacturer. The failure and current mileages were 50,000.

On December 3, 2005, the car (a Volvo V50 2006 with approximately 2000 miles) was being driven in a residential area of washington DC. The car was stopped for a light, and then, upon attempting to move forward, there was no power to the wheels in any gear. The car was towed to the dealer (marten's Volvo, bethesda, MD). The dealers representative informed the owner later that evening that a linkage between the transmission and the axle of the car had "sheared off" for no apparent reason. The dealer says it has fixed the car, but did not explain how. It is clear that if the incident had occurred in traffic, that there is a high probability that upon the sudden loss of power that the car could have been involved in a serious accident resulting in injury or death.
