1996 Chrysler Cirrus brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brake pedal failed went all the way to the floor. Contacted dealer and manufacturer.
At 55,000 miles the ABS light came on on my vehicle's instrupment panel.upon taking same to a certified mechanic I was advised that the ABS motor was no longer working however the vehicle brakes them selves were in working order. I contacted chrysler and was advised that my vehicle was not on the recall list as other 1996 2.5 liter chrysler cirrus(s) were for their ABS master cylinder piston (recall#686) and master cylinder primary piston(recall#687). At 75,000 miles I was exiting off of interstate I-95 onto I-395 when I attempted to brake for a traffic signal(red light) the ABS light which normally stayed lit constantly began to flicker/blink . While my foot was pushing the brake pedal the pedal began to pulsate and pushed up. The vehicle was unable to stop and I was headed into an intersection when I steered the vehicle into a high curb symotaniously shifting the vehicle into park to avoid colliding into any vehicles at the intersection(conway st. And I-395). The vehicle was towed to my mechanic where the front driver's side tire and wheel/rim was replaced .the mechanic advised he was unable to locate the reason forthis incident. The fuse to the ABS motor located in the fusebox under the hood was removed to ensure same incident would not occur again. I am giving you this information not for restitution but to investigate why no recall was issued for my and maybe other chrysler cirrus(s) vehicles. Sincerely, franklin lee adkins.
The consumer has been experiencing problems with parking brake. When put vehicle in park and went to get out of the door, the vehicle started rolling. As a result, the consumer was dragged and severely injured. The manufacturer has been contacted.
Both a 3rd party inspection station and the dealer mechanic acknowledge that the front rotors on this vehicle are pitted...in manufacture...at an 'unreasonably' premature lifespan...23k miles. Since chrysler does not participate in the bbb lemon law arbitration...their direct contact 1‑800‑992‑1997 maintained the warranty of 1yr/12k miles...disregarding the supporting evidence from the above sources that the pitting was a manufacturing flaw...and therefore clearly the responsibility of chrysler to replace...at no cost.
When applying the ABS brakes the steering wheel vibrates, cause unkown. Also, the ABS warning light illuminated, indicating malfunction. Dealer replaced the relay pump. Please give any other details.
Experienced total brake failure prior to/after recall repairs (96v075/074). *ak
Abs brakes failed 3 times, brake pedal dropped almost to the floor and felt spongy for a little while.
Abs brakes have a tendency to fade, also grind in panic stops.
Premature wea rof front brake pads.
Recall no-96v075000. Was fixed on 8-2-96. The master cylinder is still leaking. *ak consumer states dealer has checked 5 times and master cylinder is still leaking.
The master cylinder is empty because there's a crack in it which caused a complete brake failure. The pedal goes to the floor before the vehicle is stopped. *ak
Abs; the front brakes are grinding metal to metal, have to start stopping ahead of time to make sure you are going to stop, 3rd time in the shop for brakes.
Equipped w/ABS brakes; when brakes are applied the pedal descends to floor then returns to normal. Problem unknown w/dealership not able to duplicate.
