Hi Boatnut,

I stopped at Volvoville this morning and had a chance to talk to one of their mechanics. Based on his experience, there is no problem. The rear brake pads tend to wear out much faster than the front pads.

If the Sirius radio unit goes bad, you need to replace the small computer unit and reinstall the software by a dealer. But it sounds like it rarely happening so as the rear seat buckle issue. It's good to know what I read on the internet compare to his personal experience.

He says it's a very strong car. Enjoy your car. As always, thank you.
