| The adaptive cruise control in my vehicle has been occasionally malfunctioning (about 10-15 times since purchasing my vehicle in may) causing it to apply the parking brake at speeds of about 5 mph. this causes my vehicle to abruptly stop without the brake lights being activated. i then have to depress the brake pedal and release the parking brake. then my cruise control is inoperative until i restart the vehicle. i was nearly rear ended after the most recent occurrence. i've taken my vehicle to the nearest volvo repair center four times to be repaired but the malfunction still occurs. volvo is unwilling to replace my car under the lemon law. *tr | |||
