    - PACIFICA, CA

    WHILE PARKED ON A HILL OR UPWARD SLOPE, OR STANDING STILL ON THESE HILLS OR SLOPES, THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACK VERY FAST. THIS HAPPENS BETWEEN THE TIME IT TAKES TO RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS SAFETY DEFECT AND FOR VOLVO DEALERS TO ALERT CURRENT AND POTENTIAL VOLVO OWNERS OF THIS DEFECT. *JG
