A vehicle brake apparatus causes the brake control ECU to shut down control of the slave cylinder and the master cut valve in a failure mode in which the slave cylinder becomes inoperative due to a failure in the power supply, thereby allowing a brake fluid pressure generated by a master cylinder through operation of the brake pedal to actuate the wheel cylinder. The brake control ECU shuts down control of the slave cylinder and the master cut valve when the first monitoring device detects a failure in the power supply and the second monitoring device detects an interruption of the communication between the brake control ECU and other vehicle control devices that are provided independently of the brake control ECU. |
