My 1992 Plymouth Voyager recently had a recall where the hydraulic assembly was replaced among other things. When the car came back, the brakes were binding. It was found that the springs that holds the brake pedal up were knackered.. My experts are really hefty spring on but it still does it. It's not too bad most of the time, and it doesn't go to all the time. I can go driving for 5 miles with no problems at all and then all of a sudden, you can feel the car holding back. If you pull the brake pedal up sharply everything is okay. I have found that going on a long journey, it will do it within 10 minutes of driving and then when you pull the brake pedal up, it won't do it for the rest of the journey. Can anybody shed light on what is going on because it is extremely annoying. Going up hills can be rather embarrassing when the brakes are binding slightly. The Spring is very hefty, I don't see how what putting a stronger one on that will help.
