Chrysler should be ashamed of themselves for failing to issue better and permanent recalls for this car.this vehicle is dangerous!i was driving my chrysler and tried to stop for some kids crossing the street but the brakes suddenly gave out and became virtually inoperable and i had to swerve to avoid killing these kids! i had to push the brakes as hard as i could just to get the vehicle to slow down, let alone completely stop.i later learned and was able to find some recalls that this model uses electric power brakes and the pump and master cylinder become faulty. Apparently, the master cylinder and accumulator assembly has a seal that leaks pressure and causes the electric brake fluid pump to run more than it was designed and it eventually wears out and just stops working and power brakes are lost.the result is like trying to stop a freight train. Chrysler knows about this problem but have virtually swept this problem under the rug!i have recalls from chrysler that state the vehicle is to be warrantied for life, regardless of ownership, but the dealership just gave me the runaround. I could have easily killed those kids!thank god i was able to swerve around them.
