While driving down a steep hill the brakes went to the floor and the red "no brake" light came on. I was going around 30 miles an hour and luckily was in the country. I drove into a farmers field and put on the emergency brake. The dealership replaced the brake equipment including the master cylinder even though nothing was showing on their computer. A few days later I was driving home from work and came to a stop sign, put on brakes and they went to the floor again. I hit the vehicle in front of me. This problem doesn't occur all the time and they are not able to recreate the problem. I am waiting to see what happens with this from the dealer and their insurance co. I will also most likely file a complaint with daimler-chrysler. This vehicle was a lemon buy back for braking problems that were supposedly fixed in 2000.

Vin #p4gp44r9vr169548 '97 plymouth grand voyager this vehicle has been to both d & e dodge in wilmington, nc and to national dodge in jacksonville, nc for repairs to the brakes, and the brakes still do not work. The brake system fluid, drums, rotars, master cylinder - everything seems to be ok, they say, when we pick it up, but, when you apply the brakes, brakes are "spongy" and sometimes there are no brakes at all. It seems pretty fair for a short period of time and then becomes increasingly worse. This has been appearing for approximately one year. Please recommend someone in the chrysler organization that can fix the brakes on this vehicle. It is very dangerous, and we are tired of this problem. I am afraid my family is going to be killed and perhaps kill someone else, too. The car has an extended warranty purchased at the time the car was resold to us, which the dealerships say does not cover the brake system. However, it does cover at least some part of the brake system. The thing is, we have paid out money for its repair and have had to do without the car for days at a time and still have a braking system that is not working properly. There is something going on that is definitely a "safety-related defect" that no one can find as yet.
