Issue: Sudden, unexpected acceleration when in reverse. Details At about 10:15 am PDT on Saturday September 20th, 2025. My 2025 Volvo XC 60 car was in Pure mode with Creep mode toggled off. I put the car into reverse with the intent to back up 6-8ft. I lightly depressed the accelerator and the car lurched/accelerated backwards at a high rate of speed. I stopped the car by braking, and it is possible the Volvo automatic braking also engaged. I parked the car. When I came back to the car, in order to back out of the space safely, I engaged/toggled the creep mode on. The creep mode allowed me to keep my foot on the brake while backing up just it case the car rapidly accelerated again. I have asked the Volvo dealer for the EDR, but I have been told they are not allowed to provide this information. This was frightening and dangerous situation and I am fortunate no one was in the vicinity.
