The light gauges on the dashboard flickered on and off intermittently while driving. Driver applied the brakes, and the pedal went to the floor while approaching the intersection. Driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle by pulling over and turning off the vehicle. Then, driver restarted the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer. Mechanic determined that the electrical sensor needed to be replaced.

Brakes on Dodge Intrepid's should be recalled and replaced with a quality product. I will never purchase another Chrysler product. These dealerships are only out for our money. They may say service is number 1 but this is a lie. Recall the braking system on these cars. Just look at all the complaints on this model, recall recall recall....do the right thing, recall!!!!
