7 Power Assist Brake Vacuum problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2001

I bought my car in January of 2001. I was looking through the recalls on my vehicle and there was one in April of 2001 and I did not receive anything on it. It was something about the brakes and the car idling up to high and I am having problems with that. When I push my brakes it fills like it is going to take off by itself. I have 2 very small children and I think that if you have recalls on cars that everyone that has that car should know so that no more injuries can occur due to the problem. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would send me something on this problem so that I can take it to my local dealership and get it seen about. I have a 2000 Dodge Neon, and as I said I found this recall on this site and I was not contacted about it in 2001 nor was I aware that such a recall exsisted. I have been having this problem out of my car for awhile now and everytime I took it to the dealership they said that nothing was wrong. I don't think that they knew what they were looking for. I would like the same respect that everyone else got and have a chance to correct the default in my car. So please send me some information immediately. Thanks, ksims. Ak.
