Abs brake system has sprung a leak at the piston assembly input shaft seal. The life time warrantee should apply to this problem. The dealer I am working with informs me the repair parts are no longer available and are requesting diagnostic fees up front. I have confirmed 3 part numbers that are available for a dozen other chrysler vehicles to be the same physical part in those 3 and the same part for my plymouth. All reference for the plymouth part number show no longer available. They are using multiple part numbers for the same part in deceptive ways to avoid repairs.

The dash panel dies and the ABS light turns on followed by the check engine light due to the computer throwing a code. I have removed the dash panel three times and found the problem is at the female plug on the back of the panel, by using a wiggle test. The dealer wanted $250.00 for what they claimed only had on circuit panel when I knew better. It has two. I repaired it by using a strong zip tie to hold the plug up. This worked for years. Now it's the same old problem but it is no longer on and off depending on the temp.of the inside of the vehicle. It is 100% dead so now here I go again. Take the dash apart and try to get it to function. I use my GPS for milage, speed, and fuel. That and a USB light made for a pc. I have delt with the faulty tenshioner and serpentine belt problem twice. Now it is all the relays from heat burnt out. It started with the starter relay and went south. Tail lights and so on.

Abs hydraulic accuator pump failed again. Was repaired for free in 1999. I paid for the accumalotor, which fails due to the leaky brake pump. Chrysler is delaying or denying repair on lifetime warranty due to recall.

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.

While driving along at approximately 65 MPH the gas gauge suddenly went from 1/4 to zero. In addition the tachometer went to zero , the temp gauge went to the off gauge and the speedometer went to 120 and stayed there. The ABS light also came on and stayed there. This is a major safety defect and my research reveals that it is a known problem and due to poor cold solder joints on the instrument cluster circuit board. Multiple vehicle owners have reported this problem and many people have paid for repairs that they should not have had to pay for because of a defective printed circuit board problem. If the problem has been in existence since production it seems reasonable that the problem should be fixed at no cost to the vehicle owner. Not knowing vehicle speed, fuel level, engine temp is a major hazard and an accident waiting to happen.

Brakes have no power assist due to ABS pump failure, as diagnosed by putnam chrysler on 3/29/13. Dealer contacted chrysler regarding recall 685. Part was said to be on back order. Owner has contacted chrysler and dealer numerous times to no avail. Latest report (11/7/13) from chrysler is that the part was sent to dealer and message left for owner at some unrecognized phone number. Latest report from dealer, also 11/7/13, is that repair has already been done, which is not correct. Dealer rep was to research and call owner back. No call back.

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.

So far this vehicle has been a lemon. I have replaced everything on it, from fuel pump, sensors, steering column, belt tensioner and pulley, alternator, wiper switch that seems to have a mind of its own even tho I replaced a new switch. Now more electrical problems. The instrument cluster is now messed up. Abs light and check engine light keep coming on all my gauges go flat. Lights go dim. Then suddenly lights will flash and they will all come back on. Then go off again. Now, not only do they go flat but now I have a shifting problem. The vehicle will not shift. It seems to be stuck in 2nd gear. I replaced the whole braking system. Egr valve, cam sensor, cruise control, the body. The gas pedal use to accelerate on its own. That was a little scary goin down the road not knowing when it was gonna do that. Everyone who rides with me keeps joking as if the vehicle is haunted. Lights go weak, I've replaced all the bulbs cleaned the headlights. Nothing seems to work right on this vehicle. I've already invested thousands. Way more then its worth. I've had problems where the vehicle just refuses to start. Sometimes not a problem. Then usually in the cold it wont turn over at all. I have replaced the battery numerous times checked for codes. Airbag light would come on. Transmission hesitates. Sometimes vehicle shudders acts like its gonna quit.vehicle just has on going problems.

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.
