Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions. This morning I brought the car into an independent, local repair place that specializes in Saabs & Volvos (I assume that's more of a "we love Sweden" than a "these cars have common parts"). At first they also claimed that they were unable to reproduce the problem. That the behavior seemed "fine" in the test drive & that maybe it was an intermittent failing master cylinder. They did notice some pitting on one of the rear rotors, however, which they thought might have been caused by a seized caliper (or the other way around?). A couple hours later I got another call. Apparently in proceding with analysis the technicians discovered that both rear calipers had seized and they had also somehow confirmed that there was a slow leak from the master cylinder. Upwards of $1200 for the parts & labor; now glad I bought that extended warranty... Hans
