My 1995 volvo 940, VIN # [xxx], veers to the left when I applied the brakes. Replaced rotors, pads, calipers and hoses, and tires and alignment are fine. I suspect a defect in ABS system. This is dangerous.
1995 volvo 940 turbo odometer suddenly became inoperative. Proceeding through school zones is primary safety issue. Internet investigation shows problem is not unique. Could not make contact at their web site to alert them. Maybe you have greater access. Odometer appears to be mechanical/electrical device. Could not determine repair or its cost. Is this a true safety issue? Al
