Abs brake pump failed while driving, consumer states the vehicle was taken to the dealership prior to the failure, however dealer checked about other recalls instead of the one that was the problem with the ABS.
The failure occurred at fairly low speed and it was possible to avert a rearend collision. The parking brake and ABS light came on before the failure. This could potentially be a very bad failure at higher speed.
Recall 96v99 000. Vehicle has been repaired under recall several times. When brakes are applied there is extended stopping distance. Dealer is not able to correct problem.
If I get these things fixed, I will be on my sixth transmission and third anti-lock brake system!.
The engine stalls completly when going at any speed when the brakes are applied to slow down or turning, has done this since we bought it new, have taken it in for several checkups and the dealer cannot locate the problem. This constantly persists and I believe this is a manufacturing defect beacause I have spoken to several people who purchased the same vehicles in 1993, 1994 and 1995. These people just sold their cars or traded in to get rid of the problem. This is an apparent engine defect that chrysler made these cars during these years. I would like to see a recall for this problem, this can and will cause accidents and deaths.
When driving ABS warning light will illuminate, it happens/ it spurts. When it happens, there is no response from brakes when pedal is applied.dealer has been contacted.
Prior complaint was filed around 10/02/00 reporting multiple brakes failures after years of intermittent ABS problems. My van was taken in for repairs to the ABS system. I picked up said vehicle about 4:30 p.m. On october 11th from bill bryan where they had replaced the ABS pump and piston package along with the ABS pump relay. By friday afternoon the brakes failed on hwy 27 when my daughter was driving home from wal-mart with three children in the van, ages 5 months, 9 years of age and 11 years of age. The ABS light flickered for awhile and all braking was lost. She creeped home at around 20 MPH where she picked me up from work. When she arrived at my work the ABS brakes had started back working again. I called the chyrsler dealership where the work was done and left a heated message on their voice mail since I was greatly upset by the risk my family had been placed in. I told them I was driving the van to them. The brakes were operational for about 5 miles but after the ABS warning light flickered on and off the lights stayed on and the brakes were gone. The brake pedal was hard at the time I dropped this vehicle off at bill bryan approximately 48 hrs after the repairs were made.
I would like to verify if a recall still exits for my van, and if it is still valid since I now have over 100,000 miles on the vehicle.
Vehicle purchased 9/93 with under 10,000 miles on it. Systematic problems with ABS brakes since day 1(lights which come on when vehicle is turned on would stay on or come on during routine driving.)

After repair ,lights continued to come on/stay on with intermittent hardness in braking.came to accept this as "normal" as there was no accompanying brake failure. Chrysler extended ABS warranty to 100,000 miles. Had ABS system checked as mileage approached 100,000.

The ABS brake system is faulty and after repair is usually failing again about every 6 months. Nlm
Vehicle was suppose to be repaired under recall for the anti-lock brake system, it appeared that repairs were ineffective because the problem has continued. Dealer has repaired ABS brakes once more after recall repairs, but charged consumer.
While pulling into a parking lot consumer stepped on brakes and two brake lights came on; one said ABS, and the other indicated brakes. When these lights came on dashboard it indicated therewas no brakes. Consumer had vehicle towed to dodge, and they said it was a short in wiring. This problem has occurred twice since then.
Consumer was traveling about 20mph on a side street, and when applying brakes pedal didn't go all the way down to floor. Consumer took vehicle to dealership, and mechanic couldn't duplicate the problem. Abs brake system didn't work.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
I am so disappointed in dodge/chrysler I should have bought a toyota. No safety defect mentioned in summary.
While driving could step on the brakes to stop or reduce speed, but brakes will not work and vehicle will keep rolling.
Prior to recall (99v‑213) the liftgate broke, causing the tailgate to fall. Took vehicle to the dealership and they replaced both rear hatch support and total parts. Consumer paid for labor $ 250.00. *ak the ABS light stays on when starting the vehicle due to paricles found in the brake fluid. The vehicle vibrates when coming to stop due to both front and rear brakes worn out and rotors were bad too.
While traveling 40 MPH ABS indicator light came on. When depressing brake pedal to the floorboard vehicle continued to travel. Please provide further information.
Brakes feel spongy, and sound like pressure is being built up. Abs and parking brake lights are on and will not go off.
