Some Volvo S90 owners report experiencing recurring front brake squeaking issues even after a brake replacement at 7,000 miles. Common causes for this problem include worn brake pads, which can lead to metal-to-metal contact with the rotor, and dirty brakes, where accumulated debris may contribute to the noise. Additionally, misaligned components within the braking system can also result in squeaking sounds. Owners are advised to perform a visual inspection by safely lifting the vehicle and checking the brake pads for wear and alignment issues. Identifying the root cause of the squeaking is crucial for applying the correct maintenance approach, whether it involves replacing worn pads, cleaning dirty brakes, or correcting misalignment. If the squeaking persists despite these efforts, consulting a Volvo mechanic or contacting Volvo Customer Care for further assistance is recommended.
