Brake power booster suddenly fails in stop and go traffic and vehicle brakes really hard and the brake pedal floors on its own. This can cause serious accidents.

The booster and master cylinder were defective. When touching the brakes they locked up.. booster and master cylinder are good, but shaft between the two misaligned and hangs up. Cannot realigned.....manufacturer insisted that booster and master cylinder were good, but shaft between the two was misaligned, could not realign it. Has to replace it at $640.
