Description of the problem	I left a doctor's appointment and turned out of the parking area to find that my brakes were very spongy and it took me about 15 feet to come to a complete stop after only going 8-10 mph. At the next stop sign my brakes completely failed, i could pump them up but they went straight to the ground afterwards. I drove into a busy street because i could not get them to stop and collided with another car going around 45 mph. My airbags did not go off nor did my seatbelt lock when i struck the car. At the scene the police officer noted that the breaks pumped up but were very spongy when pushing them down. However, the dealer finds that there is nothing wrong with the breaking system currently. I am going to have a chrysler authorized representative come and inspect the system.
