4 Brake Master Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2000

Master cylinder has failed resulting in greatly reduced braking ability. I have been waiting for a replacement for well over a week. This wait leads me to believe that there may be a shortage of these parts possibly due to a unusually high failure rate of this part. This car does not have anti-lock brakes. I was told that there has been a recent change in the supplier of this part to Chrysler.
