They do break from time to time. I guess they become more fragile as the years pass. Saying that, I have never heard of one snapping while the car was driving. I broke one when I was removing the hard plastic hose attached to it and I hardly used any force, as I have done the same thing many times before that.
Anyway, in case you are looking for one, it is actually called a shut-off valve
