OP?
Currently you folks are the unlucky ones but because you are providing third party information we are hard pressed to make suggestions.

For example: Brakes are out, again.
The repairs done at the first report are pad and rotor replacement.....this is normal wear and tear.
Now, the brake vacuum switch.....this is a three (soon to be four) year old product recall.....are we to interpet this as the recall was finally done over the last month?
If this is so, then we have to wonder about what other services have been overlooked and the issues at hand may not be so much the car as it could be a result of lackluster servicing.

Now, you indicate the brakes have failed.....again.
Specifically, what has failed?
For example: the brakes have a high, hard pedal that is not very responsive when applied?......or, does this mean the pedal goes to the floor with little available braking?
Two different scenarios, each the same complaint......brakes don't work.

So, we need clear information as opposed to the third party type being provided......I'd like to make suggestions but all I'd be doing is providing a disservice to you.

Pedal to floor is going to be a failed master cylinder if the fluid level is still correct.
If fluid is empty, something was incorrectly done during the front brake job and there likely will be fluid thrown all over the suspect caliper.

My money is on a failed master since the hydraulics are generally not disturbed during pad replacement unless the calipers were replaced or a fluid flush was incorrectly performed.

So, fluid full= a new failure.
Fluid empty= a caused failure.

Good luck,
