She took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the previous owner already had the vehicle repaired according to the federal safety agency campaign id number 96v099000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock).

Rio rancho chrysler dealer, located at 25 rio rancho rd., pomona, california 91766, in cooperation with the chrysler corporation has caused the following: a.failure to correct the ABS system leak and resulting ABS light coming and staying on. Within days of dealer??s repair work, the leak and ABS light problems were discovered. Now the dealer states it to be a new problem that occurred during the couple of days of dealer??s work. The dealer says the new problem is the shorted ABS pressure switch, with a replacement cost of $565. The dealer further asserts the newly discovered shorted ABS switch has rendered ABS pump inoperative and causing the leak from brake fluid reservoir. The dealer is wrong on both counts. The ABS system works well so long the brake fluid level is adequate, and the leakage is not from reservoir cap but from somewhere else in the ABS system, which was not corrected the first time. B.the repair should have been part of the federal safety agency recall 96v099000, without any charge to the owner. However, the dealer, in concert with chrysler corporation, replaced the ABS accumulator without any factual basis and charged the vehicle owner $521.88 for it. Even if one assumes that the accumulator needed replacement, there should not be a $274.38 charge for labor. Because it??s dismantling and remounting is part of ABS piston, pump and motor replacement, which by dealer??s own assertion was covered under the above recall. C.the dealer in it??s quest to milk, gouge and hose the customer for more money, deliberately left the tps connecter ajar despite a second visit by the owner, rendering the vehicle unsafe stalling at or near idle speed in traffic and on highways.

I have had my ABS pump replaced 4 times under the recall. Most of the time the filter also must be replaced. We have spent almost $500 on this related repair. When I called the customer assistance line I was told they had a "commitment not to assist" and that "they will not help". This is completely unacceptable. To not provide any recourse on this is pathetic. In addition to costing us additional money, this failure has put me and my family at risk. The last time it failed, I cracked a bone in my foot because I had to hit the brakes so hard. To treat a customer like this is completely unacceptable.
