I love my car but have an annoying fault. Volvo say it isn’t a fault, they say it is what happens when the car changes from 2nd gear to 4th in electric.
What happens with my car is as I accelerate through 59 miles an hour I feel the car hold back just briefly. It doesn’t happen every time which is why I think I am being fobbed off by Volvo.
Has anyone else noticed this. If it’s not a fault all XC 40 hybrid drivers should notice it.
