What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 1991 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that there was a failure in which the previous owner had to replace the ABS hydraulic control unit. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 96v099000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The failure recurred and caused the reduced power assist to fail during braking. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer kept the vehicle for over two weeks. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no solution other than suggesting the part be replaced a second time by the dealer. The contact was unable to determine if the same part being replaced would prevent the failure or if the failure would recur. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
The federal safety agency recall #96v099000, referencing ABS lifetime warranty. Dealer crystal chrysler center, cathedral city, california, (760) 324-4557, has failed to repair the defective ABS system of this vehicle under the mandated the federal safety agency lifetime warranty. Dealer has had this vehicle for over six months with the excuse that "diagnosis" is in process. Chrysler corporation's "executive referral" customer assistance (586) 274-8177, has failed to assure customer satisfaction.

- Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage).
