Defect SummaryThe abs hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Consequence SummaryIf this condition occurs, the abs function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Corrective SummaryDealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. also the warranty on all abs components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). owners will also be reimbursed for previous abs component repair costs.
NotesSystem: brakes; hydraulic; anti-skid system. vehicle description: passenger vehicles and mini-vans equipped with anti-lock brake systems (abs). note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

 After having complete brake service by independent car repair shop, then continuing to experience poor braking, took to dealer listed. diagnostics showed no problem and tech drove and said brakes were fine. we continue to have poor braking to point that pedal in depressed to stop yet van keeps rolling(and abs does not activate). worse when van is loaded or pulling the boat. frightening to not be able to quickly stop as was the case previously and certainly not like any of our other vehicles. there has been an abs recall on our model and i suspect something is wrong and the dealer evidently doesn't have the ability to detect it. i believe this to be a major safety issue that needs another evaluation from someone with more expertise before an accident occurs.
