“On friday, 5 february 2010, I drove my 1993 Chevrolet Corvette and the brakes seemed to be functioning normally. On saturday, 6 february 2010, I drove the same car again, and immediately noticed that its brakes had lost their power boost-in effect, they were manual brakes, making it very difficult to stop quickly. Upon inspection, I observed that an approximately 2 long crack had developed in the power brake booster casing (which is plastic). This is not repairable, and a replacement part is about $250. Labor to install a replacement is about $200. …”
