So a friend of mine has a 2003 dodge neon. He had no brakes this morning. He had someone pumping the brakes as he went and looked under. He found this and said Everytime the brakes were pushed, Air came out. As you can see it runs down towards the brakes. What is this hose called and could it be his problem?

From the looks of it that is the vacuum booster line that runs from the brake booster to the intake manifold. If there is a crack in that line and the system cant draw vacuum it will fell like the car has no brakes because the power assist will not be working. You should be able to get a replacement line at any auto parts store but be aware when you put it on that there is a check valve in the line so that air only flows in one direction. If you put it on backwards you still wont have power brakes.
