Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I started losing brake pressure rapidly about a month ago. Took it to a shop and they recommended replacing the master cylinder. The repair was completed and the braking improved for about 2 weeks and then I lost all brake pressure. The vehicle was not safe to operate and I had it towed back to the shop once again. Again they suggested replacing the master cylinder. We completed that repair and I had brake pressure for about three days. Then my low brake fluid light came on. As of right now my pedal is squishy and I have to put brake fluid in every 24 hours. There are no external leaks but we can’t figure out what the issue is. It’s become a serious safety hazard. Possibly an internal leak into the brake booster. It’s also a common issue among other Volvo owners of this year and model.
AUTOMATIC BRAKES CAME ON WHEN TURNING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD ONTO A MAIN ROAD. IT'S WAS 7AM AND THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME AT THE TOME OF THE INITIAL INCIDENT. THERE WAS NOTHING NEAR ME BUT EMPTY STREETS. I TURNED BACK INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND SAW NOTIFICATION OF AUTOMATIC BRAKING ON MY DASHBOARD. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT TO TRY AND LEAVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN BUT THE DANCE THING HAPPENED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT. STILL NO TRAFFIC OR ANYTHING AROUND TO TRIGGER THAT. VERY DANGEROUS!!!
