When I had a Ford, the engine would stall and I lost power assist and power brakes. This happened often enough that I got used to it. I was dumb - I bought another Ford. This one had total brake failure twice. It was stopped by the car in front - fortunately it was a manual transmission and I could slow it down with the engine and "emergency brake". The next car was a Volvo, which I still have.
