Can a front brake rotor be replaced under warranty?
Now Dealership states TSB from Volvo states front rotors and pads are prone to defects and to be replaced under warranty with customer complaints of vibration at braking (we have this). All take notice and keep a watch on your brakes.
How much does it cost to replace rear brake pads?
Your price is good, if they flushed the fluid with your service. $7xx for a rear brake job. Having ALL of my rotors and pads replaced UNDER WARRANTY at 36k miles (40k mile service) today. Rear pads and rotors replaced at 28k miles and 6 months ago and we paid for them ($800+).
When do you replace the brake pads on a Volvo XC90?
We just took our 2016 XC90 T6 in for 30k mile service. We were told to replace the rear brake pads and rotors due to wear. This is the first car I can remember to ever have to replace brakes in the first 28k miles! And odd the rear brakes at that. Think the electronic emergency brake wears these out faster than normal?
How much does it cost to replace rear brakes on a Volvo?

Do you have to replace brake pads with rotors?
Not necessarily. Brake pads and rotors work together but they wear out separately. When the brake pads show symptoms of going awry, you have to inspect the condition of the rotor to see if they need the fixing too. Brake rotors have to have a minimum thickness. (Photo Source: linquip)
How long do rotors last on a car?
When rotors were thicker, they could take the wear from the brake pads, be machined and still have enough metal left to dissipate the heat. Today, new rotors are often intended to last for one set of brake pads.
Why are brake rotors thinner than they used to be?
Here are three reasons. Reason #1: Brake rotors start out being much thinner than ever before. In the push to increase fuel economy, every pound counts. New rotors can weigh four to five times less than they used to. Sounds great, right? After all, that means we’re conserving raw materials.
Which is better semi-metallic or ceramic rotor pads?
Semi-metallic pads provide strength and conduct heat away from rotors but also generate noise and are abrasive enough to increase rotor wear. Ceramic pads accommodate higher temperatures with less heat fade, shorter stopping distance, and generate less dust and wear on both the pads and rotors.
