There is no way to file this complain without mentioning the company who is responsible for the safety of so many lives. Singer vehicle group also known as (svg) is re-manufacturing these vintage classic porsche 911 from '89-'94 by disassembling them from nut to bolt and reassembling them to new svg specs with a modified engine and transmission. These cars are reassembled with a 500 hp engine and a ticket value price of over a million dollars, and yet one equipment that is very vital to every motor vehicle the brake master cylinder is the only used part on the vehicle. The brake master cylinder on every singer vehicles is a rebuilt used master brake cylinder. Again this is a new reassembled vehicle from top to bottom except for the brake master cylinder. There is a new master cylinder for these specific vehicles, where a company has manufactured to oem specifications and svg is aware of the availability and refuses to offer their customers or is concerned about safety. Svg has an internal management issue as its apparent on glassdoor.com, where past engineers and employees who have worked at svg have expressed their feelings online. Upper management does not have a clear understanding of the production line. Svg should have all of their productions of their cars halted due to safety concerns where past customers who have purchased these vehicles are still complaining about the braking issues that have gone to the dealer (svg), thier corporate location is still using a used master brake cylinder. Svg website does not list the items used to make up the revised car, we believe they should state that svg uses a used rebuilt brake master cylinder on their one million dollar/500hp cars. We have attached the new brake master cylinder image and the part number is 964-355-015-03, this is the new brake master cylinder which is readily available.
