Observations: Car rides rough when messages and cautiontriangleappear. It seems like car is not burning on all cylinders. Messages appear to be related to driving speed and length of drive. Short 5-10 min trips do not trigger message but longer trips do. Commute42 miles roundtrip daily.

Questions: What is the cause of this? How can it be repaired? Volvo dealer cleared these messages once but they re-appeared within a day.

what were the codes? get the codes and then reply back with them.

When the message appears your car is going into a limp mode, that's why it's riding so rough. When it does this your mechanic can pull the codes and tell you exactly what's going wrong. I don't understand why your dealer would just clear the codes without telling you what's wrong?

I highly recommend that you don't drive the car much until you find out what's wrong. You could damage your vehicle more by driving it with a system that isn't working properly.

PLEASE HELP!
I recently began to see and engine system service message show up in my 2001 Volvo S80(t-charged). After some research I saw that the throttle body could potentially the problem so i took it out and cleaned it, while it definitely help the overall performance it still when not disable limp mode and I'm trying to troubleshoot the issue because I have already taken her to the dealer to get them cleared just for it to reappear 2 days later. Any other potential fixes that would help my issues ????
