Power Assist Brake Problems of Dodge Durango

While my 1998 Dodge Durango being driven a on surface street, one of two 8 mm studs that are welded to the power brake booster and that attach the master brake cylinder to the power booster suddenly broke during braking which disengaged the master cylinder which then caused a total loss of vehicle hydraulic braking. To avoid a rear end crash the vehicle had to change lanes and the parking brake was used to eventually bring the vehicle to a stop in the middle of an intersection. I am the original owner of this vehicle and the master cylinder is original equipment and has never been removed or serviced since it was installed by the factory.

: the contact stated while driving the vehicle at 40 mph the vehicle lost brake power. No warning lights that illuminated. The vehicle was unable to gain momentum, it was going up a hill and the roads were wet. The brakes did not work for approximately 20 minutes. Turning the vehicle on and off did not affect the brakes. The brakes came back by themselves. The second time this occurred the vehicle was going 20 mph, and the contact pressed the accelerator pedal multiple times, nothing happened when the pedal was depressed. The tires began to spin suddenly ,and the speedometer read 60 mph, although the vehicle was not moving. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem, and the computer did not display any codes.
