Dt*: the contact stated while driving at 55 MPH the brakes failed resulting in a crash. A police report was filed at the scene and the driver and passenger sustained minor injuries. The dealership determined on certain vehicles water can enter the electrical brake vacuum pump, causing the pump to fail. There is a NHTSA recall, # 03v474000, regarding the service brakes hydraulic power assist vacuum. The VIN was not included in the recall.
Unpredictable extended braking distance on volvo models v40 and v70. Volvo has a TSB that remedies this dangerous problem (should be a recall!!!)
