| My wife was backing the plymouth minivan when the abs brake system failed. the brake pedal was rockhard and both the abs and regular brake light were lit. the system failed again when the tow truck came to assist her. the vehicle was eventually moved to russ darrow chrysler plymouth of madison for repair. they could not duplicate the failure and would not replace the system without a duplicated failure. we were told we would have to drive it until the brakes failed again and then bring it back and they could fix it. when we complained and refused to take the vechicle they said that chrysler would not authorize the replacement of the system with a documented failure in thier tests. i contacted daimler chrysler at 800-853-1403 to register my request that the system be replaced and stated that we would not drive the vehicle as it was unsafe with another potential failure. contacts there include dave pearl 2-1-99; tina 2-2-99;ron dandy 2-9-99 &2-10-99. were told chrysler would not replace the abseven though there was an extented warranty because of recall #685. | |||

| I currently own a 1993 chrsyler voyager with 94,000 miles on the odometer. the vehicle identification number is 1p4gh44r2px513187. over the span of 7 years (from 1995-2002) there were almost 6 accidents during this period. the anti-lock brake system in this vehicle was inoperative. in these instants the abs light would suddenly come on and ultimately the brake would lock-up, and would not work. when pressing on the brake during these incidents it would not slow or stop the vehicle. *ak during this period, i have informed the chrysler dealership service department. since it was under warranty they have change the computer component and its parts several times. however, the abs is still not working properly. recently the abs light came on suddenly while i was driving and for about 15 seconds abs did not work when press upon it. then the light suddenly disappears and then the brake worked normally. i believe this abs system is defective and there should be a recall in the abs for this vehicle. this is a time bomb waiting to go off and i am afraid a terrible accident can happen in the near future. has there been a recall for the abs for this vehicle from this manufacturer? what options do i have now that the 10years/100,000 miles powertrain warranty had expired? what is the responsibility does the manufacturer/dealership have after having gone there several times to fix this problem without success? can you provide some suggestions for me to protect my family and do i have any recourse? | |||

| On june 2, brake system failuled , resulting in a near crash on dry road in fair weather. the driver stopped the vehicle by combination of downshifting, application of emergency brake and shifting into park position, just before a crash would have occurred. on june 4, jones chrysler dealer (bel air, md) diagnosed problem as low accumulator fault caused by faulty dual function pressure switch. service rep. (dennis) stated: (1) vehicle master cylinder was full of brake fluid and functions properly; (2) the brake pump did not cause the problem, and there is adequate hydraulic pressure in system; (3) the faulty pressure switch shuts down the brake system because it erroneously reads low hydraulic pressure although there is actually adequate pressure; (4) the switch fails only intermittently, hence the brake system may work properly for a period of time before the switch could fail again without warning; (5) the reason the faulty switch shuts down the brake system is due to system design, and there is no way for the mechanical/hydraulic system to engage the brakes when the switch erroneously reads low pressure; and (6) chrysler will not pay for repair because it is a faulty electronic switch, rather chrysler will pay only for mechanical pump (hydraulic) problems. i authorized the repair to be completed and will call chrysler customer assistance 800 line tomorrow to request that chrysler reimburse me. my complaint is summarized as follows. the design of the system allows a faulty electronic reading to cause an electronic switch to shut down the mechanical/hydraulic functioning of the brake system, thus rendering the vehicle operator unable stop the vehicle by ordinary means, and causing a life-threatening situation to occur. this is unacceptable by any engineering safety standards. chrysler should (1) reimburse me for switch replacement, (2) correct the design flaw, and (3) install an improved system at chrysler's expense.*ak | |||

| #1: anti-lock brake light began intermittently to turn on. brake pedal operation feel would change significantly. for a 30,000 mile sequence maintenance check-up after 60,000 miles was reached at the dealer. the problems of the brakes were reported. the service shop adised the brakes were checked, and found to be okay. within a few days, the same problems appeared. the minivan was returned to the service department. this time they indicated, which they did not earlier, that there was a recall on the abs system (of which i was never notified) and the repairs would be made for free. soon after, the same problems occurred. the vehicule was returned again to the same dealer service shop, the brakes inspected, and was told that the problem was related to a crack in a timing device attached to the front axle, and it could be replaced only by replacing the axle, involving over $800 charge. i refused the service, but was charged over $40 for brake inspection. i am very upset with how this has been handled. problem #2. after a passenger got out of the minivan from the front right seat, he shut the door and it did not latch. the problem was traced to the door weld to the car frame had failed. this appears to be a potential safety problem, and the service department advised that there had been several similar cases. however, chrysler refused to agree that the weld was a manufacturing defect and would not pay, in whole or in part, the cost of the repair. #3. a disagreeable odor is coming out of the airconditioning ducts, most strongly upon the first few minutes of operation. the service center claims that all they can do is mask the smell temporarily but it will come back. they have seen this with other vehicles as well. i am concerned if the source of the odor may represent harm to the health of the passengers. *ak | |||
