2006 Volvo S40

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND GONE IDLE WHEN I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY CAR. SINCE MARCH OF 2015 MY CAR STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAYS IN HOUSTON. IT STARTS SHAKING AND ALSO WON'T LET ME ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT IS SO SCARY FOR ME AND MY KIDS. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPAIRED AT FIRST AND JUST LAST WEEK I HAD IT COMPLETELY REPLACED. I HAVE PAID OVER 1,000 DOLLARS WITHIN THE LAST MONTH ON THIS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE KNOWN THAT THIS CAR ISN'T SAFE. IT HAS PUT MY LIFE AT RISK AND MY KIDS AS WELL! WE WERE ALMOST KILLED TONIGHT BECAUSE OUR CAR IDLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY 45 AND THE PEOPLE WHO ALMOST RAN INTO US SWERVED INTO ANOTHER LANE AND MISSED US LITERALLY BY MERE INCHES AND WE CAUSED A COLLISION BETWEEN TWO OTHER VEHICLES. I AM TIRED OF DISHING OUT MONEY AND I HAVE RECEIPTS TO SHOW FOR IT. IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE! I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SAFE CAR AND THE CAR FAX WAS CLEAN. I WANT TO KNOW WHY I AM HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS AND WHY MY MONEY IS GOING TO WASTE. I SEE WHERE THIS ETM ISSUE ISN'T UNCOMMON IN VOLVO'S AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM ALL OF THESE REPAIRS I'VE HAD DONE AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE WOULD REACH OUT TO ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE TO GET TO WORK AND I ALSO HAVE TO GET MY KIDS FROM POINT A TO B SAFELY. I CAN'T AFFORD A BRAND NEW CAR AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE MY LIFE OR MY KID'S EITHER. SO AN EXPLANATION WOULD BE NICE. *TR

THE CARPETS ARE SOAKED WITH STANDING WATER SITTING IN THE BODY OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SUNROOF DRAINAGE TUBES WHERE CLOGGED. I WAS THEN QUOTED A PRICE FOR REPAIRS WHICH TOTALED IN EXCESS OF $2000.00. *TR
