What is wrong: Some of the ABS equipped vehicles were built with an undersized brake return check valve. In incidents where hard brake pedal effort is applied on low friction road surfaces, like rain covered streets, the valves may fail, causing the ABS to become inoperative. This creates excess brake pedal travel and may cause the ABS warning light to come on.
Risk: Lack of front wheel ABS could cause the front wheelbrakes to lock, increasing stopping distance which may result in an accident.
Remedy: Replace the return check valve with the correct valve.

Rear anti-lock brakes work like anti-like brakes should..they are not active at any time or speed .I have had dealers and mechanics check them and can find nothing wrong.but when I an stopped, I could stand on the brakes and lightly touch the gas pedal,) and spin the rear tires even with anti-lock brakes disabled. Thank you. My e mail is [email protected].

Front brake rotors were rusted/pitted and wore the brake pads down to an unuseable and unsafe condition. I still have the old rotors, and I called chrysler and all they said was that I could have gotten the rotors from any junk yard, and was just trying to rip them off. I did not take my truck to a chrysler repair shop, buti did take it to a very good repair shop of my choise. When they got done they said that chrysler was having a problem with the rotors on some vans, and that the ones on my truck were of the same size and style used on the vans with the problem. All I want to know is if there is a recall or a fix that I get some pay back for my problem. I don't like to be told that I am just trying to rip them off. Thank you, sincerely yours max a. Hool sr.
