Default Xc90 T8 throttle latency / drive delay issue

Hi,

I have a 2016 Xc90 at 35000miles which has started to give me problems. About 6 months ago I had a hybrid failure message and the car wouldn’t start. That was “resolved” with a software upgrade at the dealer and no problems since.

However in the last few days the once fairly seamless transition between electiric and petrol power has become very pronounced to the point of being dangerous. If I put my foot down to pull out of a junction in hybrid mode the car loses power and seems to pull back before you can hear the petrol motor kick in and then it shoots off.

This happens in all modes as it takes up drive on the petrol motor but more pronounced in hybrid/pure modes.

All still under warranty thank goodness and I’ve got it booked into the dealer next week however they’ve told they donlt have any hybrid techs available
Until we’ll feb - that being another issue!!

Has anyone experienced anything similar or got any ideas about what might be causing this?

Thanks
James
