The contact owns a 2014 Volvo S60. While entering a commercial garage and slightly depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle accelerated without warning. As a result, the contact crashed into two parked vehicles. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and then taken to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the electronic ignition system and battery sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.

I purchased the car on Friday, October 18, on Saturday, October 19, the car went haywire, windshield wipers would turn off, no turn signals, no headlights, and no instrument panel. Totally unsafe. Contacted dealer, and he said, "wow, you're the 2nd person today to call with these issues. We think there may be a recall, but you'll have to take it to the german dealership on Monday." No help, no concern for safety, nothing! had the vehicle towed in on Monday, and german dealership has to order the software. My car sits, the dealership that sold the S60 to us, denies that there is a recall on my vehicle! capitol motors should be closed down! I am paying for a new car, I cannot even drive!
