Undervoltage, eh? I hadn't thought of that. Actually, the auto stop/start hasn't been working consistently. Could that be related, and what was the end cost? Brakes are important, and I don’t want to risk anything to do with the brake pads.

Yes, the stop/start issue is very likely related. This car depends on reliable electronic systems, so if the electrics are not stable, the car will not behave as expected. I recommend getting the car to your local workshop. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I took it to the workshop; turns out you were spot on – undervoltage was causing havoc and I needed a new battery. New battery and a check of the braking system and it cost me 240€. Now the brakes are working as they should! Thanks again for the tip.

I had a similar problem with my XC70. It turned out to be undervoltage in the system messing with the brake system. Have you had any other electrical issues?
