MY COMPANY JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED DOZENS OF 2017 CHEVY EXPRESS VANS. ONE OF THESE NEW VANS (16 MILES ON ODOMETER) EXPERIENCED A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER MECHANICAL ISSUE WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DESIGN OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER INTEGRATION WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN FLAW IF YOU MANUFACTURE A VEHICLE THAT WOULD ENGAGE THE BRAKES JUST BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list.
