ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
While driving the ABS warning lights comes on and stays on ,then the brakes gets hard.vehicle will not stop. Driver had to let vehicle decelerate to a low speed and pull on the emergency brakes to stop vehicle. Mr
Two ABS problems: 1) the system activates intermittently and prematurely whether the vehicle is coming to a stop or merely slowing in traffic and at all speeds - even below 15mph. When the system activates, there is sudden pedal fade accompanied most often by a grinding noise and a noticeable sudden surge forward as braking is reestablished. The aforementioned dealership has thrown nearly $800 worth of parts at the problem over the past two weeks including replacing a 'defective' rr wheel sensor and the ABS motor system and recommended more than $600 additional expenses such as replacing the two rear drums, having new brakes installed and buying new tires. (I had the rear brakes and drums checked by another mechanic who assures me that all are well withing specifications. I did buy 4 new tires.)the problem is worse after the repairs than it was previously. The dealer says that chrysler says that it is normal for the ABS to 'kick-in' on rough pavement. The fact that it also engages on smooth surfaces at speeds under 15 MPH doesn't seem to register. 2) the ABS lite comes on and the system disengages intermittently under all road conditions. Two nights ago, on relatively smooth pavement, it disengaged seven times in a five mile stretch at speeds of 35mph or less.
Brake pedal went to floor when attempting to stop -- rearended car infront. Brakes have intermittently failed to operate - pedal goes completely to floor without any stopping action. Unknown whether this is hydraulic or ABS portion of the system. Dealer problem started when dealer replaced pads and resurfaced rotors and cleaned rear brakes at 87025 miles. Since then the brakes have intermittently completely failed 3 times. Have repeatedly had van back to the dealer and each time dealer just says "pedal good" latest failure on 30 aug 99, resulted in rear-ending another car.
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, they go straight to the floorboard. Also, ABS light stays on. This is the third time that the brakes were repaired.
While driving at 30 MPH the ABS light came on. Consumer was coming to the red light, applied the brakes and the brakes locked up, and then they released. The pump motor failed three times, and the ABS brakes burned out the transmission. Dealer can't determine the problem.
When making a stop the brake pedal almost went to the floor, right before this, the ABS light came on and the brake warning light came on. Taken to a brake center could not find problem.
Consumer was driving and rear right wheel came off . *ak consumer states while driving ABS light came on anf there was a strong odor of burning rubber, consumer went to a gas station and right rear wheel fell off, vehicle was towed to a garage where the mechanic replaced the brakes shoes and right rear wheel bearing, mechanic statd they were dry and had no grease in them, when he replaced the left rear wheel brake shoe there was plenty of grease in the bearings.
