you have 2 problems,

the first one may be the spring, as Bill suggested,
it may also be a faulty seal (sticky) in the master
or air within the lines. Air tends to make the brake
spongy (you wouldnt notice on a trailer) but when the
fluid heats up the air expands and holds the brake on.

Your real (second) issue is you drive a volvo, and you should be
reprimanded within an inch of your life for
such a crime.

World seems divided on Volvos - I recently went over to the dark side and
purchased a car with more cylinders than neccessary (5) , more power than
neccessary and more mechanical stuff than neccessary most of the time (AWD).

Mine's an XC70. Makes a very nice glider car compromise. Cavernous boot area for
all the stuff we drag around.

Pulls glider trailers, and double cab 1 tonners out of the mud with ease, the
auto gearbox is a real sybarites toy. Have to admit it is easier than towing
with my little hatchback - mainly because you never have to change gear for hills.

Drives like a luxury sedan - and has loads of space inside. Fuel economy is
reasonable for it's size and AWD at around 24mpg (10.5l/100km average over
~5000km) So around 20% more thn my 1600 hatchback did on the same job.

The only really bad thing about it is I tend to forget there is a 9.5m trailer
behind me...
