What 1991 Chrysler Fifth Avenue owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
This is the fourth time this has happened to this car. It is a 1991 chyrsler new yorker. The rear brakes have one flat pin that comes out of the wheel cylinder. This small flat pin pushes on a thin flat part of the rear brake shoe. Because the pin in flat and does not have the fork design like the older models, the pin slips off the brake shoe and over extends. This causes loss of the brake fluid and the loss of the rear brakes. I also now have pictures of what actually occurs.
On five occasions vehicle lost complete use of brake system when ABS and brake light came on simultaneously. Vehicle been to dealer's shop on four occasions, and problem was reoccurring. Vehicle back to dealer's shop at this time for the fifth time. Feel free to provide any further information.
