1995 Chrysler Sebring: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Feb 3, 2002 · Brakes · OH

The ABS modulator pump failed just after buying the vehicle "as is". I took it to the dealer, who had it all day before deciding that the pump was out, a $1600 repair. I could not afford that, nor understand why it had happened so soon, so I found a used pump, and payed to have it installed. The light went out and it worked fine. Two months later, the light came back on. I took it to the dealer and payed them again, and again they said it was the pump. Now the light intermittently comes on and goes off. What's the deal with these things, and why do they cost so much? There are simply too many complaints of this nature to ignore. Chrysler needs to step up and take responsibility.

The ABS system failed. The component that failed is the hydraulic control unit. I feel that this component should have not failed in such a short time of the life of the car, and I would like a refund on the repair of this item from chrysler.

The ABS light came on and stayed on, I took it to a dealership and the replaced a $5.00 wire for about $150.00. The next day the car was jerking and losing power and the ABS light was going on and off. I then took it to a different dealership and it took them all day from 8am till 5pm to find out it was the ABS hydraulic component for the front brakes. It cost $1600.00 dollars more to fix it. These brakes have been nothing but problems this car has now been in the shop 2 times for new brakes and 2 times for the ABS. It still shakes when you stop from speed faster than 30mph!

Abs module failure; module needs replacement every 25,000 mile. Dealer replaced one under warranty; currently, problem reoccurred. Dealer would only pay for the part, but not the labor. Can the federal safety agency help in this matter.
