What owners say
This van is affected by the 96v099000 the federal safety agency recall, however when inquiring about getting the ABS motor replaced at a local dealership I was told that the parts are no longer made to fix this issue. I believe that chrysler has a duty to fix the brakes on this vehicle as directed by the federal safety agency, parts obsolescence does not absolve them from responsibility or the federal safety agency. If the parts are no longer available I request that chrysler purchase the van back from me and have it destroyed, fix the brakes according to the recall or convert the brakes to the non-ABS type. I do not understand how chrysler and the federal safety agency could allow bendix (the manufacturer of this rather problematic brake system) to stop making a lifetime replacement part. This issue causes the power assist to stop working, creates a hard pedal which makes it impossible to drive the vehicle safely. This creates a condition worse than a vehicle with all manual brakes that have no power / vacuum assist to begin with, when test driving the vehicle it takes both feet planted firmly on the pedal to stop it. As I have not gotten a satisfactory solution that was mandated and enforced by the federal safety agency, I look forward to your prompt reply in this matter.
Experienced hard brake pedal (lose of braking) and brake / ABS lights illuminated on the dash board. This was the second failure in the last two years after approximately 14,000 miles of operation since the last repair and for at least the fourth time since we have owned this vehicle (bought new). Previous repair involved replacement of brake accumulator, dual pressure switch, brake actuator piston assembly, and the pump motor assembly, the last two of which are subject to a lifetime recall. Dealer refuses to repair/replace warranted parts without agreement that other parts are replaced at a cost of approximately $900. Given that it is likely that warranted part failures are leading to the failure of the other components and that the last repair only lasted for 14,000 mile we requested that chrysler cover the entire repair. Chrysler refused. In addition, it has been our experience that each time we have had the brake system fail, it has included the need to replace other brake system components beyond the parts subject to the lifetime recall. Thus it would appear that the lifetime recall should have been expanded to cover all of the components impacted by the failure of the warranted components.
Two weeks ago the ABS and brake lights came on in my 1992 plymouth grand voyager mini-van. At that moment there was no hydraulic brake pressure and it was very difficult to control the van. The van was towed to my regular, independent repair shop and they checked the condition and their diagnostic computer issued a coded error. I discovered that this ABS brake was covered under an extended warranty by chrysler. I took the van to a nearby chrysler dealer and they checked. The ABS light and brake light were out at this time and the dealer charged for one hour, gave me list of parts they considered may need to be replaced and verbally said it may cost about $400 or more to fix. They did not assure me that a warranty would apply.
My ABS light came on and a few days later my master cylinder failed resulting in no breaks. I was able to get to the side of the road for a tow. I have paid to get repairs completed. Chrysler tells me my car is not covered by recall. I dispute this. Recall # 96v099000.
I have a plymouth grand voyager in which was involved in an earlier re call for the ABS brakes now they failed again
Abs failed while I was driving. When I pushed on the brakes it felt like I was hititng a rock . Took forever to stop. Van is currently at mechanics. They said egular brakes fine will notify me monday what problem is with ABS.
They repainted the hood for me if I was willing to pay half and now it is doing the same thing all over again but worst. The wood paneling on the sides is just peeling away and the car looks like crap on the outside but is still running good due to all the money we put into it. The brakes have been fixed twice for a faulty switch and relay switch due to the ABS brake system. I was out driving just this past week and without warning I lost my brakes and I am suffering from ms so I had a great deal of diffulty stopping the vehcile with one foot I had to use two feet and prayed a lot just to get back home.
Abs pump failed while driving. Pump ran on and off. Dealer was sorry, nothing could be done about it.
My 1992 plymouth grand voyager minivan has experienced recurring failure of the anti-lock braking system. The brake system warning light and ABS warning light both illuminated. On occasion the system resumed operation if the vehicle was turned off or not driven for 2 or more hours. In march of 2003 a local garage diagnosed the ABS relay was not providing power to the ABS pump. The relay was replaced - cost $100. Days later the system failed again. The pump would only operate if connected to direct battery voltage to start it running. In late april the ABS pump was replaced by another local garage cost over $500. The system operated another 3 weeks, and then failed again, completely failing during in mid-june. The van was towed to the same garage. The technician identified that the ABS relay coil had failed. The van is un-drivable because the ABS pump also supplies power brake pressure. The van was towed to chris leith dodge in wake forest, nc on july 3, 2003 and inspected. On july 11, 2003 the service department let me know that they needed the district manager to make determination of recall warranty repair of the system. July 15, 2003, the service manager and district manager determined that the part the technician identified as malfunctioning (hydraulic assembly r-4683398) was not a part of recall 96v‑099 # 685. The ABS pump is part of the recall and was to be warranted for life. The recall also states that repairs done earlier to this part were to be reimbursed as a part of this recall. I await information on how long it will take to obtain and install repair parts. The repair estimate is $999.84. The van was purchased used for $1800. Repairs are nearing that value. According to complaints and the engineering evaluation this is a recurring problem. I know the van is not new, but at least it can be safe, or the public should be warned not to keep these vehicles in operation if chrysler will not honor the terms and spirit of the recall.
That the ABS brake light illuminated on the dashboard, and all braking ability was lost. A diagnostic test was performed twice and it was discovered the braking system was defective. The ABS control modular, and accumulator needed to be replaced.
Abs light illuminated while traveling. Consumer heard a pumping noise when depressing brakes. Brakes had low pressure when depressed. Dealer had repaired once, but problem returned. Please provide further information.

- What is wrong
- The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
- Risk
- If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- 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). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.
