I calle chrysler care and they in november 2019 told me that it still has to be fixed under the recall but in june they say that they already fixed the recall in 1996 and they didn't have to fix it. I has to do with the ABS recall so I shouldn't drive it with the brakes not working to stop the car. I ended up getting another car to get myself to work. Thank you time and I hope to find out if this is true though you folks.

What owners say
1993 chrysler fifth avenue has a problem with the brakes. *nj the consumer was informed there was a recall on the ABS, however the vehicle identification number was not included in the recall. The consumer paid for the repair work. However, one month later the brakes failed and the ABS light illuminated. One month after that, the brakes failed again, the dealer made the repair, but it didn't last. The brakes failed again, but before the consumer could get to the dealer, they started working again. Finally, after the fourth time of the brakes failing, the consumer was told a dual pressure switch was stuck on off and a new switch was needed.
On 9/25/2008 I brought my car to the chrysler place in warner robins, ga because the ABS brakes went out. I was informed there was a recall on those brakes. I was charged $498.66 for what was under warranty. On 10/23/2009 I brought my car back because the brakes went out again. The service person stated that I needed some other things replaced but they would work within the warranty. On 11/06/2008 I brought the car back because the brakes went out again. I brought the car back may 25, 2009 because the brakes went out again. I was informed that I would have to replace the dual pressure switch which was locked in the off position and was not covered under the warranty. The service person informed me that before they could check the warranty replacements, I would have to replace that switch which cost $513. I paid almost $500 for a warranty replacement and now I have to pay over $500 to see whether or not the warranty replacements are working. I placed not only my life but the life of others on the road in danger when I drive not knowing when the brakes will stop working. How is it that they get them to work for a while and then they stop working? I realized that my car is old and it was old when I purchased it. I was not aware of the ABS recall when I bought the car. I do not understand all the mechanical language as to what needs to be replaced and what is covered under the lifetime warranty. All I want is the brakes fixed or provide a safe car until they can fix it. I do not have $500 nor can I risk my life driving that vehicle to warner robins without brakes. I took 4 chances already in an effort to get the brakes fixed. I can't fight anymore. Not only am I putting my life at risk but the lives of other motorist. I have been given the run around not only by the dealership but others who keep sending me to everybody who can't or refuse to assist me. My car is old but it is all I have. I need a vehicle in this rural area with a sick mother who I care for. Please help.
I had to replace my ABS pump-motor assembly 2 times in the past 2 years. The first time was by maff motors/tamaqua chrysler dealer; invoice dated 10 july 06. Abs lamps on & brake pedal is hard; diagnosis pump/motor failure. Mileage 106587 second time problem started approx 11 march 08 low brake fluid, ABS & brake lights came on; mileage 150,351; I added approx 9 oz brake fluid & all lights went off. 22-25 march 2008 firestone/hazleton invoice #123975 , mileage 150,103, thoroughly checked for brake leaks as per my request, during routine annual inspection; they even added dye to check for leaks & kept my vehicle overnight. Approx 28 may08, I tried to scheduled appt. At all american jeep/tamaqua new chrysler dealer (maff motors closed) they scheduled me for july 15; 1 1/2 months wait!! I continued adding brake fluid to my master cylinder everytime the low brake fluid light came on. Firestone inspected for brake fluid leaks again, 5-6 june 08, mileage 155,507; no leaks. I contacted all american jeep/chrysler by phone & in person early-mid june 08 but was unable to move appointment because people on vacation, etc.. As time went by I had to keep adding brake fluid more often, until finally all the brake, low brake fluid, ABS lights stayed on; luckily I coasted into lehighton chrysler kia, without brakes, on 8 july 2008; for emergency repairs. Mileage 157,035. Abs pump motor was replaced; plus they had to fabricate a missing firewall retaining bracket for this ABS pump motor. Invoice 135553. I've requested assistance with danielle yurko, service dept. As to recall coverage, for reimbursement; she informed me that I no longer have any chrysler warranty: even though I gave her a copy of the federal safety agency campaign id number 96v099000! My interpretation of that recall is that the ABS pump & motor assembly is warranted forever/lifetime; no matter the vehicle's age, mileage, or owners plus all previous ABS repairs would be reimbursed v/r john f.
