Under normal braking conditions pedal intermittently feels bouncy and vibrates. sometimes there is also a bumping noise. this happens only when coming to a stop, never under emergency braking. braking distance is normal. vehicle taken to dealer 5 times, replaced hydrolic unit/control module/front brake pads, and all tires. did not remedy problem. dealer stated it was normal for this vehicle to react that way during braking.*ak | |||

I noticed a vibration between 25-40 mph. dealer found belt separation and cracking. there are 5 or 6 other incidents of this on 1998 and 1999 volvo cars at this dealership. this is a factory defect and safety issue and i am unhappy that continental made me pay a pro-rata amount of $25 for each tire they replaced.
