Unresponsive Brakes in Volvo XC90 Despite Recent Change

I'm facing an issue with my Volvo XC90 where the brakes have become spongy and unresponsive. I had the brake pads changed during my last service, which was not too long ago. I assumed they would last for at least another 5000 km, but they seem to be failing. Can anyone provide some insight or help on this issue?

Summary of the thread

The Volvo XC90 is experiencing spongy and unresponsive brakes despite a recent brake pad change. This issue may be caused by air in the brake lines. Bleeding the brake lines is suggested as a solution, but if unsure, consulting a professional mechanic is recommended due to the safety-critical nature of the problem.

It sounds like there might be air in your brake lines, which can cause the brakes to feel spongy and unresponsive. You can try bleeding the brake lines to remove the air. However, if you're not comfortable doing this yourself, I would recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic as this is a safety-critical issue. Please let us know how it goes or if you have any other questions.
