Default Intermittent Power

I have the same problem. One day the power died. Brought it to the dealer and they said I might need a new electronic controller! €900! They tightened connections and said to keep going for as long as possible, which I did. I had the problem intermittently since but have managed to scramble by through only using very light acceleration on gear changes - if I get a slump in power I can strangely get it back by going up the gears! It will almost take on a cruise control status! If I stop the car and come back to it I can find the problem has gone again. Clearly electronic, but judging by forums there is an inherent issue. I never had this problem with two previous Volvos the 2003 S40 and 2007 V50. This one is the 2011 V50
