In my driveway, while backing up, left rear brake pad simply fell out of the brake onto the driveway. Brake pedal went to the floor. Truck wouldn't stop until brake pumped back up.. Dealer says "this happens". Really? There was no accident; no impact; no effort at self-repair or parts replacement. It just fell out. Frightening.
