What owners say
Multiple failure of ABS on 1995 jeep grand cherokee. Abs dash warning light regulary comes on and ABS shuts down with a shudder of the brake pedal. Typically after several miles are driven. After vehicle shut down for at least 30 minutes, system will reset only to fail again after several miles driven. I have a 1995 grand cherokee and a 1997 grand cherokee- both have similar ABS failure.
Abs system has failed a number of timess (no pumping on hard braking), once caused me to skid into the rear of a vehicle due to uncontrolabilty (person in other car said she heard skidding. People at dealership sounded like they have heard this before (they said that all they had to do was reset the ABS system). After resetting ABS system it worked for a while and then stopped functioning again. Couldn't afford the $50 fee for bringing it in a lot (100k warranty.) so I drove it as a non ABS car, but still no pumping feeling when pedal is depressed, any more questions please e-mail at [email protected].
