Greetings!
For the second time, the cable on my parking/emergency brake has come loose. I took my XC90 2.5T to Volvo and after 3 hours, they had re-attached the cable. It has now come off again and as a result, the parking/emergency brake is rendered useless. Does anyone know what is going on? Is it bad service or is it just a badly designed attachment device? Of course it is covered under warranty and I will have it taken care of but I don't understand the mechanics of it. Is there anyone on the Forum from Volvo service or anyone who has an idea as to what is going on? Thanks Jonathan |

So I am replying to my own post!
But to update the XC9o Parking/emergency brake issue. My XC90 was at the dealership for a week, They provided a loaner. Apparantly there has been some sort of re-design of the internals of the mechanism. They rebuilt the entire unit with all new,updated parts with the exception of the foot pedal. I picked the vehicle up today and it works perfectly! Jonathan |

I guess either there arent too many XC90 owners here, or no one else had the prob :)
Anyway, out of curiosity, was it a recall or they just replaced the whole thing because it reoccurred? |

According to Volvo there was no recal. They replaced the entire unit to make sure that it would not happen again.Perhaps theywere just tired from seeing me!
Best Jonathan |
