XC70

  • 3,500 miles
My Volvo X70 2010 station wagon has had a number of incidents where the car transmission "jumps" while the gas pedal is not engaged. It seems that when the engine is at idle, at a stop or during a slow turn, the car slightly and subtly jumps a bit. My Volvo dealer has attempted to "upgrade" the software but the problem, although sporadic, recurs. I am concerned that there is a defective issue here and that other potential dangerous problems may arise in the future.
