What owners wrote

Leaving a chiefs game in kansas city I was waiting in traffic. We slowly moved forward and my brake pedal went to the floor and would not stop the vehicle I ran into the truck in front of me . There was no damage to his bumper but I got a dent the size of a baseball. Later on the way home I relised that it was still doing in at low rpms so I took it to the dealership amd they said my vacume pump was going out!! At 45000 miles???? The mechanic said it was a very common problem.
