| On the above date i started my vehicle and put the vehicle in reverse to pull out of parking space. immediately after releasing my foot from the brake and before touching the gas pedal, the car accelerated in reverse so fast that i bounced off a cement pole in the middle of the parking lot. the force was so great that the vehicle bounced three times before i was able to stop it which i did by applying the brake and being blocked by the pole. after i came to a stop i realized that it was in fact the pole that had stopped my car. i was also blocking the parking lot so i put my foot back on brake and put the car in drive to get out of way of other motorists and to assess damage to the rear of my vehicle. at this point, to my surprise, as i took my foot off the brake and before i could touch the accelerator, the vehicle did the same thing in drive as it had done in reverse and i went hurling toward a very busy four lane street. i applied foot brake and pulled emergency brake and was still not able to stop due to the force of acceleration. thankfully i hit the cement parking marker and a divider which raised my car off ground so that the front wheels we in the air. never once did my foot touch the accelerator of the vehicle nor was their anything else touching the accelerator. *tr | |||

| 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 occured, but i want the nhtsa to be aware of this potential issue. | |||
