Issue is with a 1999 Chrysler Town & Country Limited Van w/90K miles. The
brakes worked perfectly before I had the master cylinder replaced. This was
done strictly as a preventative measure since the service place I used noted
a "slight leak". The brakes seemed to work fine for several hundred miles
and then after they were used , the brake pedal got really high and tight,
and then the front brakes seized. Driving became nearly impossible and we
needed to leave the van by the side of the road for 30 minutes ... once they
cooled down, they worked OK again. Between the time the master cylinder was
replaced and the brakes seized, we noted considerably worse gas mileage.
