July 26, 2003 bonnie sullivan 7 conyers st greenville s.c. 29609 to whom it may concern, I'm the owner of a 1993 crrys. Imperial which I'm very fund of. Resently I have been haveing a great deal of trouble with the antilock ABS pump system. I have had to have the pump replaced and when this was done the repair man said that it wasn't the problem because after the repair the brakes still will not function correctly. I know that there was an investigation back in 1995-1996 for the recall of these parts and malfunction. The repair of my car is very costly and I'm with out the funds to keep putting moneies into nonfunctionaling parts which rank from $600.00-$3000.00. Iam writting this complaint in search of answers and resolution to my brake problem with this particular model and make. If the parts are on a recall manufacturer's list then spending money to repair doesn't fall on me for the responsiblilty. I request that some one contact me by mail or phone to assist in resolving my broken imperial. Sincerely yours, mrs.bonnie sullivan .

- What is wrong
- The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
- Risk
- If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- 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.
