| Twice, within 50 metres of the same spot each time, my car has suffered extreme acceleration whilst i was braking as hard as i could. first time, my mechanic checked all computer diagnostics using two different computer testing devices but there were no fault codes. now, as well as happening twice within 50 metres of the same spot, i was at the same set of traffic lights, which i do not suspect as being the problem, but also next to a major hospital with an adjacent helipad. my best guess after 57 years in electronics and 40+ in computers is that some sort of rf interference is upsetting my vehicle. i know volvo check all accidents involving their cars in sweden and wonder whether they have ever come across my problem. both times the engine screamed its head off although i had no time to worry about the tachometer reading. the noise itself was adequate warning and the lack of braking meant that i had to kill the ignition to recover mine and the vehicles composure. switching on the ignition again both times, the vehicle once again idled normally and operated as it should. | |||

| The emt light came on and there was no power to the accelerator. this was quite frightening and then the power returned and the car sped up and then there was again a loss of power in the accelerator. i pulled over and had the car towed in to the shop but i believe there has been a problem with this happening to 1999-2000 volvos. my car was always serviced by the dealer and nothing was ever said about the possibility of this problem occuring. | |||
