Hi,

The rotors were ~5000 miles old when they were turned and the pads were replaced. After ~5000 more miles, they became warped again and the pads became uneven. The rotors were provided by the mechanic. I did not purchase them seperately. The mechanic who inspected my car said that I can drive with the bad brakes for another few more months because they are not very bad yet. However, the uneven pads will cause the rotors to become warped again.

Any ideas on the uneven pads or the serpentine belt lubrication?

Occasionally, there is a burnt smell coming from the engine. The mechanic said that the engine oil may be leaking onto some hot component and the burnt oil is causing the smell. He does not know where the leak is coming from. However, this is the same mechanic who turned the rotors, replaced the pads and is asking me to replace the rotors and pads again. Any ideas?

It looks like this Volvo is a huge lemon. I spent more than $1000 on repairs in less than 6 months. It has 90000 miles on it.
