2013 Porsche Boxster. Car rolls when stopped with transmission in 'park.' Similar to recalls of Porsche cayennes and panameras. May be similar to the transmission connection bushing problem that came loose in other models.

It lost power brakes during my driving at 45 miles/hour. The vehicle couldn't stop more than 200 yard before a traffic light. I almost hit into traffic which runs at 55 miles per hour. The car drove about 25000 miles when power brakes failed. Porsche said vehicle's vacuum pump broken. They fixed. I asked them what is life for a vacuum pump, they rejected to answer. I asked them why the vacuum pump failed, they said it was scrapped, they don't know. I asked them how they are sure the new one would be good. They told me that is why they provided 4 years warranty/50000 miles warranty. I told them it is safety parts, if they can't tell me what's wrong, I don't feel comfortable to drive. It is horrific experience when power brake lost, the car out of control, couldn't stop. I am lucky I didn't hit anyone because no one in front of and luckily again the car stopped about 20 yards before traffic lane on route 55 in il.
