Was driving my '98 V70 (252.5K miles) on the interstate today. When I went to stop at an offramp, the brake pedal went to the floor. I pumped it and the resistance returned; the car stopped. I pulled over and noticed a burning smell. Testing the bakes had the pedal go to the floor again, but, again, pumping the pedal worked and the car stopped. I shut the car off for about ten minutes. When I started it, the problem had disappeared, and there were no further issues for the remainder of the drive (about 10 miles, not on interstate, but in traffic). Any thoughts? Thank you, as always!
