 I am the owner of a 1993 chrysler fifth avenue with anti lock brakes. (bendix 10). the vehicle was repaired according to the recall in october of 2009. the problem has reoccurred in august of 2010. the brakes are impossible to apply because of the pressure. the fix by the dealership was ineffective, lasting less then one year.

 On 9/25/2008 i brought my car to the chrysler place in warner robins, ga because the abs brakes went out. i was informed there was a recall on those brakes. i was charged $498.66 for what was under warranty. on 10/23/2009 i brought my car back because the brakes went out again. the service person stated that i needed some other things replaced but they would work within the warranty. on 11/06/2008 i brought the car back because the brakes went out again. i brought the car back may 25, 2009 because the brakes went out again. i was informed that i would have to replace the dual pressure switch which was locked in the off position and was not covered under the warranty. the service person informed me that before they could check the warranty replacements, i would have to replace that switch which cost $513. i paid almost $500 for a warranty replacement and now i have to pay over $500 to see whether or not the warranty replacements are working. i placed not only my life but the life of others on the road in danger when i drive not knowing when the brakes will stop working. how is it that they get them to work for a while and then they stop working? i realized that my car is old and it was old when i purchased it. i was not aware of the abs recall when i bought the car. i do not understand all the mechanical language as to what needs to be replaced and what is covered under the lifetime warranty. all i want is the brakes fixed or provide a safe car until they can fix it. i do not have $500 nor can i risk my life driving that vehicle to warner robins without brakes. i took 4 chances already in an effort to get the brakes fixed. i can't fight anymore. not only am i putting my life at risk but the lives of other motorist. i have been given the run around not only by the dealership but others who keep sending me to everybody who can't or refuse to assist me. my car is old but it is all i have. i need a vehicle in this rural area with a sick mother who i care for. please help. *tr

 1993 chrysler fifth avenue has a problem with the brakes. *nj the consumer was informed there was a recall on the abs, however the vehicle identification number was not included in the recall. the consumer paid for the repair work. however, one month later the brakes failed and the abs light illuminated. one month after that, the brakes failed again, the dealer made the repair, but it didn't last. the brakes failed again, but before the consumer could get to the dealer, they started working again. finally, after the fourth time of the brakes failing, the consumer was told a dual pressure switch was stuck on off and a new switch was needed. *jb
