I first experienced this brake failure 2 years ago during an exit from a highway on an uphill off-ramp. When I pressed the brake pedal, there was absolutely no braking power. Only after I lifted my foot from the brake and reapplied pressure did I have any braking power. This has only happened a few times and is very infrequent and random in its appearances, but is a recipe for disaster and is only a matter of time before someone is killed from it. There are multiple owners reporting the same failure. Volvo has not provided a solution to correct this failure.
