1992 Chevrolet Camaro SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

I JUST PAID FOR $653.93 WORTH OF SERVICE FROM AL SERRA CHEVROLET, WHICH INCLUDED AN ENGINE FLUSH. I DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK TO WORK AND AFTER WORK WENT TO THE STORE AND PURCHASE FOOD. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR, I STARTED THE CAR AND BEFORE I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. TO MY SURPRISE I GOT A LARGE VACUUM LEAK AND NO BRAKES. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AL SERRA CHEVROLET THAT NIGHT USING MY OWN ROADSIDE SERVICE. THE FINDINGS OF THE AL SERRA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WERE THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER BURST INTERNALLY ON ITS OWN. THIS FINDING TOLD ME THAT THIS PART WAS DEFECTIVE. THE AL SERRA SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONCLUDED THAT NOTHING THEY DID CAUSE THE FAILURE AND THE INCIDENT WAS A COINCIDENCE. I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $375.50 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. I WILL MAKE INQUIRIES TO FIND THE FAILURE RATE OF THE BRAKE BOOSTERS ON CAMAROS. I REALIZE THE CAR IS SEVEN YEARS OLD (ONLY 41,028 ORIGINAL MILES), HOWEVER; A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE OF THIS MAGNITUDE COULD HAVE PUT MY LIFE IN JEOPARDY IF THE CAR HAD BEEN MOVING INSTEAD OF PARKED. THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THIS PART DEFECT REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE FACT THAT I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH MY OWN MONEY COMPOUNDS THE PROBLEM. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT SOMETHING BROKE LOOSE DURING THE ENGINE FLUSH THAT MADE ITS WAY THROUGH THE VACUUM LINE AND RUPTURED THE DIAPHRAGM IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WILL ASSUME NO LIABILITY IN THE MATTER I WILL APPROACH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE PROPER SAFETY ORGANIZATION TO INSURE THAT NOTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE.
