Description of the problem	Problem began with brake warning indicator light coming on, seemingly at random. Brakes still seemed to be working normally. Then brakes started failing to catch while driving. Regardless of vehicle speed, 10 mph or at highway speeds, brake pedal would go almost to floor and you would have to pump it several times to get the brake to engage. Took it in to my local mechanic and found that fluid was leaking into driver's side interior, diagnosed a faulty master cylinder and booster. Took car to dealership. They serviced all outstanding recalls. They replaced master cylinder and booster at a cost of $982 to us. Brakes worked fine for three weeks then problem started happening again but this time brake warning light is not illuminated. Just as before, sometimes the brakes work normally, other times the pedal goes to the floor and you have to pump the brake pedal until it 'catches'. Taking it back in to dealer - this is a dangerous problem, not knowing if the car is going to stop or not. Judging by the number of reports from motorists and mechanics on various websites, this is obviously a known issue with 2013 dodge journey vehicles.
