On january 5th on our way to a wedding the brakes on my van became hard and it took longer than usual to stop, at first I wasn't sure what was going on (I had the brakes fixed recently). On monday coming back from picking up my kids it happened again, my husband told me then that something like that had happened to him just the day before. Called reagal dodge and they schedule an appointment for the 9th. They told me right away that the ABS system had other components which were not covered under the recall. I said to only fixed whatever was cover by the recall. On friday the 11th they called and said that the warning lights were still on but the brakes were working fine. A week after on the 18th the brakes failed again on my way home after picking up my kids. This time the brakes were really hard and the car took almost half a block to stop completly. Took the car to my mechanic and this was his diagnosis. "problem appears to be a bad ABS/master cylinder assembly. This is a warranty item and should be covered by the dealer. Tried to contact regal dodge with no luck, left to messages and sent an e-mail asking them for an appointment they never answer until I call the recall center number on the notice, they agree to see the van if I agree to pay for the diagnosis in case the problem wasn't ABS related. I didn't accept. Is the dealer right when they say some parts are not covered? Can I have my van fixed by my mechanic and be reimbursed? Wasn't the dealer required to do any recall job on a vehicle before selling it? I understand this recall was issue on june 1996, they sold me the van on october 1996. Please I'll appreciate any information. Thank you.
While driving vehicle at any speed it makes a buzzing sound. When applying brakes they lock up. Contacted dealer.
Brake pump prematurely fails, causing engine rings to blowout.also, when brakes are applied pedal becomes very hard, causing extended stopping distance. Please give any further details.
The brake pedal became rock hard. There were no brakes. Fortunately, when this incident occurred, I was doing 10-15 MPH. I cring to think what could have happened had I been on the highway. I understand that on this vehicle, the ABS was recalled due to the pump motor assembly and the actuator piston. I am still alive and can tell you that the controller in the ABS is also defective. My husband, child, & I could have been killed. My parents would not have even thought about you. Had it not been for a wonderful mechanic he told me about a similar problem, I would not have known to contact chrysler. They were of little help to be but they were much better than the serviceman at lawrence dodge who refused to discuss the possibility of a defective part where 2 other defective parts have actually been recalled.
While attempting to use the brakes the have failed to slow vehicle down. Problem is has occurred five times with no crash or injury to report. Dealership has examined vehicle,and replaced pump/ reconditioned ABS system. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
