My car's ABS system has failed. You have to step really hard on the brake pad to get the car to stop. The dealer has tested the vehicle and determined that the ABS pump is failed and covered by a federal recall 96v099000. The car was repaired in the 90's during the recall, but it's failed again. Chrysler has guaranteed that the recall will be honored regardless of when (forever basically) or who owns the car. The dealer has had my car now 3 months still waiting on parts. Please help step in and make chrysler honor the recall and fix my car.

I have read about the recall on the ABS system for the chrysler imperial. I purchased a 1991 imperial in february of 2000. In may of 2000 I had to have some repair work done on the brake system. Such as replacement of the pump motor and the accumulator for the amount of $623.61 labor and parts. Once again in november of 2002 I had to have the accumulator pressure switch replaced, listed as dual function pressure switch holding pressure at 2000 psi. This repair job cost me $466.82 out of pocket including labor and parts. I would like to know if I qualify under the recall for reimbursement considering the vehicle was not 10 years old and the mileage was just at 100036 in may of 2000 and 120331 in november of 2002. To this day I am still having problems with the brake system. As of now the anti-lock light will not go off after starting the vehicle. I am to afraid to take it back to a chrysler dealership for I can not afford another 400 to 600 dollars out of pocket. Please inform of my status with this situation.

- Remedy
- Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.
