THE VEHICLE STALLS OR GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE OFTEN UPON ACCELERATION, BUT ALSO APPARENTLY RANDOMLY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL OF A DIFFERENT YEAR DESCRIBED AS "VEHICLES GOING INTO THE LIMP HOME MODE WITHOUT NEED". I TOOK IT TO A VOLVO MECHANIC AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM, BUT HE CLEANED SOME PARTS AND CHARGED ME. IT STILL HAPPENS AND IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE CAR COULD STALL IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS HAPPENED OVER 100 TIMES. I CALLED VOLVO "SUPPORT" AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THAT MODEL. THEY OFFERED NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE LEAST THEY SHOULD DO. I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED, BUT VOLVO IS OF NO HELP. AT LEAST THEY SHOULD OFFER TECHNICAL SUPPORT EVEN IF THERE IS NO RECALL.
