  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
While traveling at 10-15 mph consumer pushed on brakes and there were no power brakes. Took to mechanic, and they said it might be the check valve, and they replaced it. Then it happened again, second time they changed brakes, and it happened again. An independent mechanic found information regarding a memo that egr vavle would correct problem because water got in it and froze up causing a loss of power brakes. Chrysler is denying any knowledge of problem.
