“A message that read ABS brake system needs service came on in my 2012 Volvo C30 tuesday, march 18. I called the service dept of the dealership - he said he knew what it was and to bring it in either thurs or fri. I chose friday morning. Wednesday about 3pm as I was downshifting to slow then applied my brakes there was no braking action. I was able to pull into the left turn lane to avoid running into the car ahead of me and then the brakes engaged. I pulled over and called the dealership. They said bring it in right then. …”
