Brakes are very Sensative on Cold Starts???
i recently purchased a CPO 2015 S60 T5 AWD (I5) and have had no problems. This week though I’ve had some weird on/off behavior from the brakes. On a cold start, sometimes (not everytime) the brakes are way to sensative, the littlest amount of pressure applied will cause the car to slam on the brakes, this is mainly around 15mph and under. Tonight I pulled out my garage and was shoved forward when the problem occured again. Of course minutes later the problem disappeared. Sometimes when the brakes slam, a quick warning will come on the screen and immediatly dissapear a second later. This wasn’t a warning regarding the safety systems though, I believe it said coolant/battery, but not too sure. Is this a known issue, and has anyone else had this, I’d really like to know what it is before I go to the dealer when it won’t occur for them and they won’t know what the issue is. Thanks!

the coolant light could have come on because your level is lowest when the car is cold and the sharp stop sloshed the fluid enough to set off the light. In terms of the sensitive stops when cold, I'd be curious if you have a brake vacuum issue or just that the pads are very grippy due to some over night corrosion on the rotors. Does your car have an automatic braking feature and can it's sensitivity be adjusted?
