Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My father in law said he was having trouble with the brakes on his 1998 plymouth breeze. when i looked at the master cylinder in was almost empty. when i pulled the front wheels the left pad was worn a good bit more than the right. when i pulled the rear wheels the right shoes were cracked and the left wheel cylinder was leaking. i made all the repairs but i couldn't get a proper bleed on the rear brakes. further looking showed the right rear brake was locking up than slowly releasing. looking even closer i found that the rear brake hoses on both sides were plugged up at the point were the hose was crimped to the bracket. prying up on the crimp solved the problem. i wonder how many people are out there with no back brakes. it took me 2 full days and $200.00 to figure all this out. *nm
