11/4/2012 CVOCheck the vehicle for fault codes to see if there are any sensors were involved to the malfunction of the engine.
1.Local auto parts stores such as Autozone ( not in California) or Advance Auto parts will scan and retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes ( dtc ) stored in the powertrain control module for free of charge..
2. Amazon.com has the code reader for less than $20.00 dollars.
3.Re-post the dtc's in here " answer question " for further assistance.

The ABS light is on. The brake fluid level is ok. Could the emergency brake not be all the way off? Check what else?Julie Stitt - 1999 Chrysler Cirrus - Brakes - 10/16/2012The ABS light is on all the time. It sounds like some brake might be on a little bit when driving - making a rubbing noise. The engine sounds ok when the car is not moving. No other warning lights are on.

Why does the parking brake light on the dash come on while driving?jason - 2008 Chrysler Sebring - Brakes - 10/8/2012hand brake light comes on and goes off the entire time I am driving.60,000 miles,no prior work done related to this.-
10/8/2012 HouseCallAutoSee if the brake fluid reservoir is low on brake fluid. It may have gone down far enough to trip the float circuit. Out side ambient temperature dropped in most of the USA in the last few days and that makes the brake fluid occupy less space causing the float to sink a mm or two.

How do i know whether or not my brake rotors need to be turned or replaced?Dennis - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica - Brakes - 9/19/2012
-
9/19/2012 CVO1.If the rotors were badly damaged by a worn pad ( down to the metal ), and there is not much thickness left due to the turned, then the rotors need to be replaced.
2. " Basically ", when the brake pads are replace, the rotors are need to be turned for a better braking.

Why do my brakes feel soft after I replaced rotors and padsStump007 - 2005 Chrysler Sebring - Brakes - 9/2/2012When the rotors and pads were replaced there was no loss of fluids nor is there any leaking.

8/28/2012 JimmYou may have forced fluid into the power booster unit. Though the master cylinder is typically sealed - the extra hydraulic pressure may have forced some fluid back into the brake booster diaphragm unit.
Try this step first - disconnect and plug the vacuum line (hose) to the power brake booster. Then, test the brake pedal for 'feel'. Is there a change? Post a reply as 'add answer' with your results.
8/29/2012 jack suntks for the response, i took the car down to the autolab to have them bleed the brakes.
30 dollars. decided that i would learn more by letting them bleed the brakes.. as they let me
hang around the car while they work.....
a small amount of air present.... the brakes work fine now.. i could have bled the brakes myself,
still, i felt that having them do it i would know what if anything needed to be done next.
thank you again for your response. -
8/30/2012 JimmCheck the 'How-To-Guides' feature on the AutoMD website for the specific steps to bleed the brake system - along with many videos for all types of repair and diagnosis work.
