Brake Problems in Cold S40-V40 00

posted by  someone claiming to be Pete on  Wed Dec 27 05:59 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have been having some problems with getting my brakes to work properly in the cold after just starting the car. Here in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area in MN the temperature has not been over 15 degrees F in the last three weeks during the day. As I write this it is a warm 12 F (temps have been hovering at 0 F or below during the day). Anyway, when I pull out of the driveway and hit the brakes they just don't want to stop the car; then it gets progressively better then to normal as I drive and brake. Question is: anyone else out there that drives in this kind of cold climate seen this kind of problem?? All previous non-Volvos of mine have not had this problem in the cold. Should I get it checked out?? Any suggestions??

Thanks,

Pete.
