The federal safety agency campaign id# 96v099000 (mfg. Campaign #685) - contact with chrysler plymouth indicates that the VIN# for this vehicle is not included in this recall even though this vehicle experiences the same problems as identified in the recall. Can you help us persuade chrysler plymouth that this vehicle VIN# should be included in the recall so that we may have the problems repairs & obtain reimbursement for previous repairs already performed?

Exciter rings are cracked, causing ABS to become engaged. Consumer says the cure would be to replace both front axles.
Recall 96vo00000/ABS: on jan 97 vehicle been serviced for manufacturer's recall.

When this occurred, it resulted in extended stopping distance. Dealer notified. But, problem is still occurring.
Dual pressure switch failed causing the ABS light to illuminate. Nlm
I have had the anti-lock brakes replaced 3 times. The first time was prior to the recall on the ABS system. I am wondering if anyone does follow-up on the recalls to see how often a replacement part itself needs to be replaced. I believe that 3 replacements of a particular component in 5+ years (7/1993-11/1998) is excessive.
Prior to recall brake system failed (96v‑099).after replaced, the brake system failed again. Yh
Abs failed after being fixed for recall. Yh
Consumer was driving on wet pavement and applied brakes, and the brakes locked up. Also ABS brake light pops up on the dashboard.
The brake system has been recalled due to a failure in the anti lock system. The dealer has replaced this system at least 3 times, when it fails ( without warning) the pedal pushes extremely hard, and you have only very limited braking ability. The dealer has told us that the brakes will be warrenteed for the life of the vehicle. This gives me a sick feeling knowing the history of this vehicle.
Vehicle makes electronic clicking noise when brakes pedal is depressed. Yh
Brakes shudder when trying to stop at higher speeds above 45 miles per hour, air conditioner fan stops at speeds above 55 miles per hour when the engine begins to load going up hills before it shifts into overdrive
Vehicle has been repaired under recall #96v099, anti skid brake system. Since the initial repair under the recall, vehicle has been to the dealership for repair service five times . Consumer states that when the brakes are applied, pedal becomes hard, resulting in extended stopping distances. The manufacturer has been notified.

Abs brakes had failed. The ABS brake light came on. Had a panic stop. Vehicle failed to stop. Pedal was hard. Down shifted to low & applied emergency brakes. Took to dealer for problem. Nothing found. A contiuous problem, but intermittent.
I previously submitted a hard copy of the original failure (the federal safety agency reference number 828479) via normal mail. This submission is to document a similar safety issue that occurred 7 weeks after the original problem was 'fixed'. I will repeat the information from my original submission for reference. Original submission (10/22/98): I had a recall performed on the ABS system in 1996. At that time, I was under the impression that a defective designed part was being replaced with a newer designed part and that the ABS system would now function properly. In august of 1998, while driving down a road at 35 MPH, I attempted to brake and had no brakes at all. Fortunately, no accident occurred. I took the vehicle to spartan chrysler plymouth in murray, ut who informed me the ABS hydraulic system 'piston assembly' had failed. They indicated that this was the same part for which the recall was issued in 1996. They told me (in 1998) that in 1996 the recall only consisted of checking the part to see if it was bad. My question is that I wonder if the recall was really just to check the part? This seems like a serious safety problem. The part can work today and pass the recall 'test' only to fail tomorrow and cause injury or death because the vehicle loses the braking system. Wouldn't it be safer to remove the fauly designed part and replace it with a known fixed part? Update (11/18/98) on 7 november, the braking system of my vehicle failed with identical symptoms as before. Without warning, there was no braking system in the vehicle. Again, we were fortunate to not cause and accident. I returned the vehicle to the same spartan dealership. This time they diagnosed the problem as a failed 'accumulator pump' in the ABS system. They insist the two failures (2 months apart) are totally unrelated, that there is no history of ABS failures in this model of van, and that there is no underlying problem which is causing these parts to fail. The vehicle was repaired on 1
Since ABS recall 685 has been done, the brakes have been irregular. The pedal fights me, the pedal locks up and the ABS system is obviously mechanically compromised. Dealer totally unable to address my numerous complaints. (they claim I dont no how to brake)
