| When i apply pressure to the brake pedal i get an error message sometimes, not always, that says check brake lights. when the message is up, the left and right brakes in the back of the vehicle do not illuminate, but the middle one in the back of my rear window still does. when the message goes away, all lights illuminate. *tr | |||

| Lower brake lights fail while upper rear windshield light continues to work. had this work done once in 2005 to correct the wiring situation and now it is having to be done again. i feel this is completely dangerous for both brake lights to fail at the same time. reading online forums has led me to believe this is a widespread issue with the 2001 volvo s60 | |||

| Driving 2001 volvo s60 2.4t at 30 mph, stepped brakes and they locked up (car has abs) causing complete loss of control. went into spin and crashed over curb, breaking both passenger side rims and gauging rear tire. had to be towed; one week later, car still in shop. mechanic can find no reason for this...no fault codes on computer, fluids, wires, etc all fine. *tr | |||

| Dt: consumer stated 2001 volvo s 60 was having a problem with the unit that regulated the air flow into the brakes and engine. the car was making a hissing sound, like air being let into the cabin. this was happening a lot, especially in the heat. the brakes had to be depressed to get the car to stop. consumer had the car fixed last week at the dealership; the mechanic informed consumer that the air pump to the brakes had to be replaced. this vehicle was not stalling,or losing power, nor were there near misses. consume r was just responding to this because of what she saw on the news. the warranty expired. repairs were done at consumer's expense. *ak | |||
