What owners say
1. A/c past 3 tears has failed. Control mode failure. A/c repaired 2x in warrenty. 2. Abs sensor failed at 42000. 3.distributor failed at 90000 3. Transmission-front pump seal started leaking at 90000. 4. Spark plug ring seals(6) failed at 90000.
Engine head gasket would leak & cause engine to smoke. Would refill the oil at least 3-4 times a week. Took to dealer & was informed nothing was wrong. Also, ABS light kept coming on. Was informed that sensor needed to be shut off.
Abs brake problems continually, several component replacements (excessive premature wear).
Vehicle has been to 2 different dealerships. The first was freedom dodge of lexington and the replaced the ABS modular. The problem we were having with the car is that we could be traveling at 55 MPH or 5 MPH and the car would stop running. Resulting no power. Freedom could not find the problem, so we took it to superior dodge and the did a software update to the computer and still same problems happened. Installed a co-pilot and found the dist. Cap sensor was bad. Replaced, picked the car up and within 24 hours the car stalled 5 times. This vehicle has been in the shop now 9 times, going on 10. I need to know the next steps to take. This is a saftey issue. I could kill someone, or be killed in the vehicle.
Upon exiting a major intersteate, had to apply brakes in order to slow down on ramp. The brake pedal was rock hard and could not be pushed down. Had to apply the emergency brake and skid for about 300 feet. Luckily we did not hit anything before we came to a stop. Brakes worked immediately after this, but we were afraid to drive. Had a tow truck bring car to our local mechanic who could not find anything wrong with car. Test drove for three days and could not duplicate the problem. He then took the car to a chrysler dealer who put the car on the diagnostic computer. Car could not be diagnosed due to an electronic problem in the car. Both the ABS and the brake lights were on.and have not turned off since.
When applying ABS brakes, pedal goes to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. The ABS system activates in normal braking conditions. Also, the accelerator vibrates and panel control have been lost a few times. Dealer cannot identify the problem.
The front, right brake locks up under hard braking, causing vehicle to pull hard to the right. I avoided hitting other cars only because there were no other cars in the right lane of traffic. This problem was reported to the dealer and to chrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403 on may 17, 1999. A mr. Dante amabile with chrysler customer relations reviewed this problem (reference # 5797365), but reported there was no problem with this car and that there was no recall on ABS brakes for 1995 dodge stratus models. I referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number 96v074000, but was told by mr. Amabile that there was no such recall. This is a dangerous car that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Abs light illuminated, brake failure followed. Brakes work intermittently. Dealer is aware of the problem. Abs computer controller replaced and no problems found on diagnostics. *ak.et.
Abs brake failure. Also, rear wheel cylinder and brake rotors failed.
Abs brake failure, pedal faded when applied, resulting in extended stopping distance, intermittently failed, in for recall, after repairs were performed vehicle continues to have brake failure.
When applying the brakes there is a slow process on the ABS anti-lock brakes . Please describe .
