The issue started a few months ago. The brake sensor light on the dash turned on and stayed on. We took it to the dealer and they said that they will not fix it because they can see coffee stains on the sensor. Basically they have brake sensors right under the center console where people drink coffee and the brake sensors are exposed so this can happen to any customer. Now they want to charge us 1600 dollars even though the SUV is about 2 years old and under full warranty. They want to screw their customers and don't care about their safety. This is the brake system of the car and now it's having issues with the adaptive cruise control inwhich the system turns off while in use. We are concerned about our safty and don't know what to do.

I need new rear brakes and rotors at 26,296. I have leased cars for the past twenty plus years and never had to replace brakes/rotors after a year and a half.

On February 5, 2020 I was involved in a minor fender bender which resulted when I drove off alight and the car in front of me did not take off and I hit it in the rear at a very low rate of speed. The auto brake did not engage. I was no more than one and a half car lengths behind and the car was moving at one to two miles per hour. When I hit the rear of the car in front of me the air bags deployed which caused me to have a slight concussion and certainly scared me. There was little if no physical damage to the vehicle. I contacted Volvo customer care a few days after advising that auto brake system did not engage and the airbag deployed. The report was taken. I was advised that there were no prior reports of this issue. Volvo repair was not willing to acknowledge my concern and would not confirm that prior to the repair there-would be a repair. Candidly they were not going to do anything except accept insurance check and fix it. I now have received a recall notice for this exact issue which I had reported. I advised then I was afraid of the car because I was afraid the airbag would deploy unnecessarily again. How do I address the fact that I will not use this car any longer.
