problem #2

Nov 012005

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 89,000 miles
Brakes hiss and get hard when temp drops below 32 degrees, suddenly and without warning. Unable to stop. Took to mechanic, who discovered the master cylinder and brake booster was ruined due to rust, because water runs into the area from windshield drainage points. This is a design flaw which allows leakage directly into the brake booster/master cylinder area. Car is now in shop to have both parts replaced ( ~$500-600). Chrysler should cover these repairs and issue a recall before someone dies. Although the parts will be replaced there is no guarantee how long before they will be rusted out and fail again.
