2002 Chevy 2500 Express van. Failure of power booster, lost both brake power as well as steering power. Almost impossible to control car. Replaced once, failed again 6 months later. Replaced again. Failed again this year. I am now on my forth power booster, failure is very dangerous as you lose both steering and brakes at same time.
