Brakes became VERY soft, requiring standing on the pedal to stop. It began while we were on vacation in the mountains, which was obviously not ideal worrying about braking on a windy mountain road. 
62620 mi

C $800
Had to replaced all Rotor and Pads 
27000 mi The brake booster completely failed making braking extremely difficult and dangerous. Brake booster was replaced under warranty. Parts in stock, known problem. 
20700 mi Hiss or whistle from under dash when brake pressed and held. Pedal mushy but brakes still worked. Diagnosed as a failed vacuum booster for the master cylinder. Replaced by dealer under warranty. 
59000 mi Boosters 
49000 mi The brake booster failed. This possibility was mentioned in an extended warranty notice several months ago, but it was still a dangerous surprise when it happened while driving the car in heavy traffic. The brakes worked, but with a delay and more effort.

US $500
Replacement of warped front rotors, new front brake pads.
