When was this ironed out on new cars does anyone know?

This morning while turning left out of a junction I put my foot down, and nothing for a few seconds. And I’m not taking about the usual slow gear changes in hybrid mode. Not had this before either.

Any advice appreciated.

Default ERAD failed

so we had the car since Sept 2019 bought it at 94000 miles.

There was a weak coolant line at the back of the engine (engine cooling system not hybrid) that burst shortly after buying the car so went in Volvo to have this repaired ans also recalibrated and straightened the camera on the windscreen as the person that replaced it under previous ownership... managed to step on the assembly...!!
Volvo managed to sort out the coolant and the camera calibrated and straightened at a total sum of £680.00
However they could not diagnose anything about the turtle symbol appearing on the dash after the car is left resting for 4-5 days ... which in my understanding is a hybrid code. However after the battery was warming up.. the turtle was going away.

Just had at 100.000 miles a major service and also cambelt and auxiliary belt also there was a reprogramming of the steeting angle sensor due to being corrupt for some sort ... throwing error codes.
This came to a total of £930.00
Turtle again was not shown as a fault on the diagnostics...

Now done 500 miles after the service ... when setting off from stand still at junctions or runabouts... the power would dip... and have no throttle response for 3-4secs or until the petrol engine kicks in. This happens randomly and not often. However it is more noticeable with the traction battery having a sufficient charge.
I can also hear some bangs... coming from under the gear level and from the rear axle. But this happened only 2-3 times in total.

turtle came up after driving the car from London ... and then dissapeared just 10miles away from the dealership! lol

Volvo had the car for a day... they said they did a software update... although the car already had the latest software... and keep an eye on it. (end of December)

After 150 miles... the whole power loss came back again but it now repeats more often... but again no EML ... but the battery is acting up strangely now... half full or showing full at short time but charging continues as normal.

Car was booked and went in Volvo 4th of Jan today...
they got the car diagnosed... and they suggested that the ERAD needs to be replaced.
Now the car was 5yo mid Dec 2019.. and 101500 miles now.
The cost for the ERAD without labour £3600 ... ehmmm

They contacted Volvo UK and had an answer by midday.
Volvo UK is covering 100% of the cost for the ERAD to be fixed. but they did say they are doing this due to the car being seen by Volvo for everything so far and is in very good condition.

Previous owner was a lease company so the service was only Volvo and now with my owner ship it has also been only Volvo..

Lets see the outcome on this

Cambelt on the T8 is 144k miles or 8 years, they shouldn't have done it, it is not due.

Symptoms you describe - loss of power, clunking and banging is definitely ERAD symptoms.

I know I read that it was meant to be at higher mileage or more year... but it was only £350 for both belts... so I didn't mind. Better be safe than sorry to be honest I did 5,000 miles since Sept ... so I would have needed to change it within 2021 regardless lol

For you it is due December 2022 or in 43k miles time according to your numbers, so now seems very premature. 350 quid seems a good price though. I am expecting more like 500 quid when mine is due.....

Don't know for sure but think maybe mid to late 2017.
