C30 brake pedal feedback

Alright Volvo C30 experts, need some help! My 2008 C30 with a gasoline engine is giving me grief. Mileage is sitting at 234245 km. I'm getting some seriously strange feedback from the brake pedal. Could this be hydraulic brakes malfunctioning?

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I drive a C30 too, and I had something similar happen last year. Pedal feel was super weird, almost like it was fighting back. Did you check the brake rotors yet?

Rotors look okay at a glance, no crazy scoring or anything obvious. I was reading something about undervoltage causing weird brake issues...could that be related, maybe messing with the brake calipers?

Undervoltage...hmm, hadn't considered that. Honestly, my C30 ended up needing new brake shoes and a shop visit. Cost me about 240€. If the rotors look fine, and you're still getting weird feedback, I'd say bite the bullet and get it checked out professionally!

Thanks a bunch! Taking it to the workshop tomorrow. Turns out it WAS the brakes. Everything sorted now!
