Typical brake symptoms owners report

Owners report the brake pedal going to the floor with no stopping power, in one case after brake fluid warning lights came on and fluid was found to be leaking from a rear brake line.
Some describe the parking/emergency brake handle failing to engage properly due to slack in the cable, which also triggered the cruise control to shut off.
Others report the parking brake indicator light flashing intermittently because the parking brake handle moves freely and bounces, a problem dealers said was normal even after adjustment.
One complaint describes the vacuum pump that powers the brake booster losing vacuum after a camshaft extension part sheared off, causing the brake booster to stop functioning while driving.
A crash was reported after the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to stop, with the brake warning light illuminated at the time.
