general problems of the 2025 Volvo XC60

While parking our Volvo in the parking lot of trader joe's grocery store on [xxx], the Volvo suddenly accelerated and collided with the adjacent car in the next parking slip and rammed the car in the forward parking slip pushing about 15 to 20 feet ahead. Luckily, nobody was hurt though it could have been a disaster is someone was standing there near either of the other two cars. No one other than the auto body shop has inspected the car. The police came but did not write up a report because it was on private property and there were no injuries. Nothing on the instrument panel then or now shows any indication of a malfunction. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Issue: sudden, unexpected acceleration when in reverse. Details at about 10:15 am pdt on Saturday September 20th, 2025. My 2025 Volvo xc 60 car was in pure mode with creep mode toggled off. I put the car into reverse with the intent to back up 6-8ft. I lightly depressed the accelerator and the car lurched/accelerated backwards at a high rate of speed. I stopped the car by braking, and it is possible the Volvo automatic braking also engaged. I parked the car. When I came back to the car, in order to back out of the space safely, I engaged/toggled the creep mode on. The creep mode allowed me to keep my foot on the brake while backing up just it case the car rapidly accelerated again. I have asked the Volvo dealer for the edr, but I have been told they are not allowed to provide this information. This was frightening and dangerous situation and I am fortunate no one was in the vicinity.
