if you survive a brake failure or loss of brakes due to overheating, your vacation is ruined trying to find a shop to do your brakes and then the cost of a emergency brake job. the tow maybe covered by good sam or other program but the brakes are a wear item not covered by any warranty.
and for all who think i am to cautious, count the dents in the guard rail down your next mountain pass.
