This is the second time the bosch ABS failed in my 1990 chrysler new yorker landau. The first time, in 1992, the entire ABS had to be replaced, under warranty. This time, the bosch ABS pump motor was replaced and still the ABS warning light comes on intermittently. There is a life-time warranty from chrysler on the bendix-10 ABS on the 1990 new yorker. There should be a life-time warranty on the bosch ABS as well. Clearly deficient and a danger to life & limb. Luckily, I was travelling at only 35mph/50kms on a side street in vancouver, b.c., when the ABS failed completely.

While driving after same component was "repaired" by the dealer for a recalled item, same exact ABS failure occured! Service advisor asked me " was it fixed when you left?" while driving car in 45 MPH zone of city 4 lane, attempted to stop for light and brake light and ABS light illuminated and brake pedal became hard as a rock! With both feet on pedal, was able to slow car enough and pull into gas station. Had car towed to dealer. After first "repair" I could not see any replaced parts and service ticket read " complied with recall notice". No work was annotated. Found receipt from when mother-in-law had car originally checked for recall, and noticed dealer was only required to test system. If it passes, they replace nothing. Defective components remain in car until failure. How many must wreck before chrysler is made to get these death traps off the road! This will be my last complaint, as I sold this car the day it was "repaired" again. I will never trust chrysler again. They had two shots at killing my family, and fate said it was not ment to be. These cars need to be off the road. They give no warning of when you will loose your brakes! One time they are fine, then you push the pedal, and you get lights and no brakes!.
While decelerating for traffic light, applied brakes and got a brake warning light and ABS light and very hard pedal. Car slowed but would not stop and went through red light, almost causing accident. Parked car and still had lights, but brakes came partially back. Had car towed home and will contact dealer asap.
Related recalls
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- 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.

Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- What is wrong
- The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.
- Risk

- Remedy
- Replace the ABS high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction.
