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.
