ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
The ABS, traction control and parking brake light will all simultaneously and randomly illuminate and disappear. I have not had any physical issue with the brake or control of the car. I saw there was a recall back in 2012 for this possible situation but I am not sure if it is the same or if my vehicle was ever recalled. I have had the car for almost 4 years. This issue seems to be very sporadic. While stationary and driving. Sometimes I will turn the car on and it will be there. Sometimes it won't. It has happened over the last 2 years. I live where it snows and only drive this car in the warm weather months so I have yet to look into it.

Two of them being my small grandchildren. A police officer saw my dilemma and came to our rescue to and assisted us until we got the everyone on the side of the highway. My car was towed to the nearest dealership. At the dealership the service manager said that the alternator shorted out and destroyed my battery. The cost to repair was $1450.00 I called chrysler about the electronics and was told my car was not one that had a recall for this problem.. This automobile is totally unsafe to drive at high interstate speeds if the electronics can shut down with little warning.
