Description of the problem	We purchased a chrysler 300c on 9/05/2006. On 9/6/06 i accidentally touched the parking brake & the light came on. I checked my manual & attempted to release the brake by pressing down as hard as i could,then pulling the brake release. The light remained on. According to the manual, this indicated a brake problem so i contacted the dealership. On 9/8/06 i took it in to the service dept. Who said to press all the way to the floor, release the brake & lightly lift up on the foot brake. On 9/10/06 i again touched the brake causing the light to come on. On 9/11/06 i took it in to the service dept. & spoke to them & the general manager. Both gentlemen agreed it should be corrected, but they are not able to fix a manufacturing defect. So i called the chrysler corp. Customer center. The man told me it is not a defect just because i am not able to press the pedal all the way to the floor any more than it is a defect if i am unable to open a door! I am not a 100 pound woman ! I tried with both feet, got out & tried with my hand. He told me if the light remains on & something happens to the brakes that i am unaware of and causes an accident, that i will be responsible. This is not acceptable. *nm
