Volvo 960 1997 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Foundation Components Disc Review #747584

VOLVO 960 1997 car safety problem was reported on Nov 14, 2000.VOLVO 960 1997, manufactured by Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC . volvo dealer, under warranty replaced all 4 disc brake rotors & pads due to warping of rotors & resulting vibration when slowing down from 65 mph to 50 mph on highway. this work was done on 11/14/00 at 39,024 miles on the car. it is now 6/29/01 and the car only has 43,500 miles on it, ie. only 4,500 additional miles on it. this has not been a problem on our other cars, so it should not be attributed to driver error or other driver-related characteristics. in fact, we get very good brake wear and durability on our others cars with the same drivers. in the april, 2001 issue of consumer reports magazine, this car for the 1997 model year received the worst available rating for the brakes relative to frequency of repairs from owner surveys conducted by the magazine. i strongly believe that this vibration due to disc rotor warpage can lead to further damage in the braking system and ultimately cause a safety related failure. i would like to be contacted to discuss this further and to inquire if you have found this to be a problem on other volvo 960's of similar vintage as consumer reports has found and also as i have personally found to be the case. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):YV1KS9601V1.
