Purchased the car new. On day two of having the vehicle and on a cold start in the morning, I noticed that the brake was very difficult to press in order to get the car started. Additionally, when applying the brake during driving it seemed to take a bit longer to slow down. I took the car into the dealer's service department and they confirmed that it was a bad brake booster. I am now waiting for the part to come in from Germany, which is backordered.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
