problem #11

I bought the car (1995) used in 1998. A few months later, the master cylinder went out in road construction nearly causing an accident. Had to replace calipers, rotors, brakes and master cylinder. I had a warranty but was told it was not covered. It cost me 1000 dollars. Two months later, I had to replace the brakes again. Had continuous brake noise throughout the next year with a couple more added brake replacements. In Dec. Of 2000, had to replace brake booster. Costing me another 500 dollars in repairs. I am scared to death to drive it. On Jan. 12 of 2001 the ABS light came on and stayed on. I called to see what the worst case scenario would be and I was told 1000 dollars to fix a sensor!!! I want Dodge to pay for the on going brake problem. This is a very serious problem and should be addressed. I have come so close to getting into accidents from the failures of the brake system!! this is a life threatening safety feature that should never had any problems besides the normal wear and tear of the brakes. I am afraid to drive it. Please respond and tell me if there have been any recalls. I was told there was a service bulletin on the brake booster and now I want Dodge to pay for it. Thank you.
