1993 Plymouth Voyager Brakes Problems

“I was driving in granite city about 1 1/2 hours from centralia my town when the ABS and emergency brake lights came on and my brake pedal got very stiff and I can barley stop. This has not gone away! I took the van to the mechanic and he said it was the brake (power brake booster and master cylinder) I have called auto stores to get the part but they tell me they cant even get the parts I need to get this fixed!

“Dt: the contact owns a 1993 Plymouth Voyager. She was going to pick up her daughter from school on 10-14-05 and vehicle had no brakes. She had to go 5 MPH all the way home.
