Brake booster failures
This is the second failure Iv had. This booster only lasted 4000 miles. First time it happened at the track. Shut the car off and when I restarted it I had no booster on the brakes. Second time the day after a track day I went out to pick up oil for a oil change and it went out on the way there. I was getting brake assist warnings but they would go Away and function fine. Usually at idol. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on what could be causing it?

Find it hard to believe that the booster is dead on a relatively new car. Probably the check valve or the hose to the booster.

They found the cause. A wiring short. Keeps popping the fuse. Can’t find the short yet.

Hope so. Warranty is done. I had the wiring service bulletins done.

Update the brake booster gas filled with oil and hydro locked blowing fuses. Now I have to find how and why oil is getting in there.
