Brakes applied with out the application from the driver then released .this occurred two times driving at 50 MPH. The car was then parked. The defrost and heat came on and the antilock light illuminated both times.
My chrysler 300m loses its power brakes when its cold. The power booster seems to be the problem only when its cold.
My chrysler 300m loses its power brakes whenever it is cold and it seems damp out side. The power brake booster seems to be the problem. When the car warms up it works good enough to drive but the brakes are still sluggish. After driving the car for 15 min to half hour the brake booster seems to start working ok. It has done this since I bought the car. I have no braking when the car is cold sometimes! And a loud sucking sound comes out of the brake booster when its hanging up.

Warped rotors, two transmission sensor related failures and heavy pulsation in the steering wheel when braking. *mr ph
There were problems with electric windows and a crack in the dash. The electric windows had stuck shut due to the tight seal designed to reduce the wind noise, and the crack in the dash was around the passenger side air bag and appeared where the material was stretched over the air bag underneath. Also, when the vehicle was two months old, the front wheel rotors had to be replaced, the battery was replaced in the first year, before 50k a defective bearing on the cooling fan was required to be replaced. *mr *scc
