SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED RESULTING IN GREATLY REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR WELL OVER A WEEK. THIS WAIT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE A SHORTAGE OF THESE PARTS POSSIBLY DUE TO A UNUSUALLY HIGH FAILURE RATE OF THIS PART. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT CHANGE IN THE SUPPLIER OF THIS PART TO CHRYSLER. *AK

APPROXIMATEL;Y AN HOUR AFTER MVA (DAMAGE TO FRONT DRIVERS SIDE), I LEFT TO ACCIDENT SCENE. TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT, SO PULLED OVER AT FIRST AVALIABLE AREA. THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. INSURANCE ESTIMATES IN EXCESS OF $6000 OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE FORM ACCIDENT IN ADDITION TO FIRE. VEHICLE IS TOTAL LOSS. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CRUMBLE ZONES PROPERLY PROTECTED TO FRAME. I DON'T THINK THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. INVESTIGATION OF NHTSA WEB SITE PRODUCED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA99013 WHICH PROMPTED CONTACT. *AK
