Description of the problem	I was stopped at a light behind a vehicle when suddenly my brake pedal went down to the floor. The road was level with a slight incline. The vehicle began inching forward and i kept trying to pump the brakes. I was unable to locate the emergency brake due and the vehicle stopped after making contact with the car stopped in front of me. I later regained brake pressure and promptly reported the incident to my insurance company and chrysler customer service. Prior to the incident, i took my vehicle to the dealership for the brake recall. I was initially told that my brake booster had to be replaced and later told that it just needed the protective brake booster shield. Chrysler's solution was to have a rep from engineering analysis conduct tests on my vehicles brake system. On 5 november 2014, i received a letter from chrysler advising me that the inspector found no problems with my brake system. They are refusing to replace the brake booster. I fear that i am at risk of my brake system failing again! This incident could have been fatal had i been on the expressway traveling at 55 mph!
