Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The brake suddenly lost braking power after the brake pedal was depressed at a red light on a local street. Every time I press the brake pedal after the incident, I could hear a sound of air leaking somewhere behind the pedal. Other systems seem fine and I managed to roll the car back to our parking lot about half a mile away, and had the car tolled to a local dealer the next day. I was told later by the dealer that it's caused by malfunction of brake booster or vacuum pump(?) and repaired it at a cost of ~$2500.00”
