#97 of 97 when push on petal to start...???? by savannahtx Oct 17, 2009 (6:40 pm)
when I start to push on the petal to begin to move it feels like the first second or so it "misses" or is not catching or something..then it is like it goes to second gear and then it catches...strange feeling like it almost ..slips past the begining of what I guess is first gear in an automatic and then catches and it feels like it wants to go. Also, I had a 1997 that had the "power" button when I wanted 'extra' power to go faster in a hurry....like pulling onto an interstate....I miss that power surge....it feels like the transmission is slippin when I begin to push on the petal...is that normal...my old on did not do it. I am also driving a 1985 ..240 Wagon....just about falling apart in many ways but it runs and past the state inspection....and "yes" I am Volvoized...can't really imagine drivng anything else....I had a Volvo rubberized mat in the back of my 1997...Wagon....All I can find now is a "hard" plastic mat of sorts for the rear of the 2008 Wagon....is there a soft Volvo rubber mat for the 2008? This 2008 sure likes to use up the gas...not great on the gas but nice car in many other ways....
