| Air Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problems |
While driving the vehicle goes into "limp" mode and a error message saying "safely pull over and restart vehicle" goes on. The vehicle wouldn't exceed 5 mph with traffic behind me. It is a potentially dangerous situation, which has happened several times. But I've finally brought the car to the dealership and apparently the electronic throttle body module, and the anti-lock brake module both have to be replaced. Then after checking several forums this seems to be an epidemic for the Volvo S80.
