Two things - accelerator sticks and the KEY WON'T COME OUT! V70-XC70 1998

Hello All -

I want to love my Volvo, I really do, but the truth is it has been fraught with problems since we bought it last year. I won't get into the vaccuum leaks, O2 sensor saga, but I would love some insight into the current issues.

1. The accelerator is hard to depress. You have to really press on it, making it sort of surge forward, until it seems to warm up (even though it's 90 degrees here in the Georgia summer).

2. On the gearshift (automatic) when you put the car in park, the "button" on the front is staying depressed which means that you cannot get the key out. You have to jiggle the gearshift until the button pops out. Any ideas? Is this going to cost me another $500?

Thanks so much.
