#8 of 11 Acceptable Brake wear by dznj Sep 21, 2009 (8:08 am)
The dealer replaced the fronts pads on our '04 T6 at 30K-ish. I just did pad/rotors all around at 60K. I don't think that is excessive, given the weight of the car.   Brake wear is dependant on driving style, weight, and type of driving. If you do a lot of stop/start/local driving with a heavy foot, you are going to have to do brakes more often than someone who does 100 miles on the highway each day.
#9 of 11 Brake Noise by jazmeena11 Oct 29, 2009 (1:12 pm)
We have a 2009 xc90 that we bought just over a year ago. We are running into many problems already, but most recently our brakes are making a horrible sound. When we apply the brakes we hear a loud screeching sound, similar to when the emergency brake is left on and you're trying to back out of the garage. We've checked to make sure the e-brake is not on, it wasn't. We've taken it to the dealership and of course it didn't make the sound when we brought it in. It seems to happen when the car has been running for a while and is warmed up. Replies to this message: rdvs2002 (Nov 20, 2009 4:06 pm)

Replying to: jazmeena11 (Oct 29, 2009 1:12 pm) I am having the same issue with my 2009 XC90. It's at the shop right now getting new front brake pads. Something tells me that replacing brake pads isn't going to do a thing. I've got 18,000 miles now. How about you?
#11 of 11 19,000 mile - new brakes & front tires by briandc Nov 23, 2009 (7:10 pm)
I live in DC - lots of stopping and starting. we have a 2007 XC90 that is leased - 2.5 years old. just got new brakes - $700 and two front tires, another $450. I'm really pissed!! Is it the care, my wife (primary driver) or dealership screwing me?
