1992 grand caravan brake light and ABS light stay on for long periods of time. Brake pedal at times will not depress. I am a 76 year old lady and I am having to park my vehicle because I am scared to drive it with brakes only intermittently working. Told by independent mechanic that part of the ABS system needs replacing at a cost of over $2000?? This is ridiculous!
While driving 20 MPH driver applied the brakes and pedal was hard. Consumer was unable to stop the vehicle, it skidded, and hit another vehicle. Upon impact, both air bags did not deploy. No injuries were reported ABS light appeared on the dashboard, and remained on until the vehicle was turned off. Consumer drove vehicle to dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that a part of the ABS module needed replacing. The part was not on recall or under warranty.
Consumer stated that brake lights kept coming on, and brakes failed, and brake pedal felt hard. This lasted from 2-5 minutes each time. This has happened at least 4 times. Consumer was not involved in a collision, but was afraid that something might happen.

While driving when attempting to stop the vehicle excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal to depress the brakes. Vehicle failed to stop, causing extended stopping distance. Emergency brakes had to be depressed to stop the vehicle. The cause of the failure is undetermined. Consumer made contact with the dealership.
In 1997 consumer was driving and lost brake power. Abs piston was replaced per the recall # 96v099000 subject: brakes: hydraulic: anti-skid system. On 7/9/2003 the consumer was driving and lost brake power again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that piston on the vehicle was the same piston that was recalled, which had a lifetime warranty. The dealer will not replace the piston because the warranty stated that piston will only be replaced if frozen.
The recall remedy for the ABS 96 v 099 000 failed, and the defect accrued.
Consumer states dlr advised will not replace defective hydraulic control unit(hcu) under recall 96v099000, until consumer pays out of pocket $1200 for replacement of cad module. Dlr advised consumer must replace cad module first to determine if that is causing problem, if not then dlr will perform recall on hcu component. Nlm

Mckenzie motors charged $1500 for the transmission replacement. Have not yet had ABS system replaced.
Front brake rotors have rusted. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified. Recall for this problem in other chrysler products. *ak
Abs lights on for over a year no response from the manufacturer, problem due to possible ABS sensor failure.
Twice when applying brake pedal to stop vehicle won't stop, and pedal would not work. Also, emergency brake did not engage.
This has been an ongoing thing and talking to several chrysler mechanics they all tell me that this ABS brake pump is a real bad defect in the van and because its so so expensive to fix properly they warrenty the brake pump for the life of the van, well they dont warrenty the other things that go wrong due to the pump going out. Wish there was a way to really get something going on this I hear its a real big problem with 92 and 93 dodge mini vans.
Consumer was driving into the garage when he applied brakes and vehicle didn't stop. Vehicle went into the garage door.
Both driver and passanger front doors have broken. The whole inside casing has broken. You cannot use these doors if possible, they will come apart and you will not be able to open then. The guy at the auto body shop said that this a very week spot on this vehicle. At $500.00 each to fix. That is just the door it does not include removing the dents that when the door sprung it caused with the chipped paint. The braking system makes this clicking sound when you able the brakes.
Brakes are now intermittent. Warning lights come on, then go out, then repeat the sequence. During the problem a high pedal pressure is required to acheive braking.
Tone wheel split causing anti-lock brake to activate all the time
Paid dealership $600.00 to repair. The brake lights keep coming on and sticking. My wife has taken it back 4 times and on october 11 will have to take it back again. I discussed this situation with mike anderson on 10/9, customer satisfaction representative for dealership. I tried to explain to him that having brake lights sticking in the on position is a safety hazard. He was extremely rude to me on the telephone. He said that as long as the brakes stop the van I don't have a safety problem. I am afraid to drive the van in its current situation, it would have been great if the dealership would have provided us with a rental car for the weekend. I also searched the website of daimlerchrysler before I filled out this form. I could not find anywhere that I could send daimlerchrysler an e-mail about my concerns. I was wondering if other owners of such minivans have reported similar problems. Thank you!
Abs recalled but ABS continues to fail despite replaced controller module x2, primary and secondary switches. Upon braking the pedal virbrates followed by ABS & brake warning light turn on. Also rear brake lights stay on intermittently after released brake pedal or engage the parking brake ( dealer found no defect on numerous occasion )
When the brakes are applied pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance, and the ABS light illuminates. Manufacturer will be notified.
Intermittently when the brakes are applied pedal becomes hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem.
