What owners say
Brakes failed to stop and light comes on w/anti lock light chrysler replaced with another exact part from junkyard and charged me for new parts $937.59. 1.5 yrs. Later same problem occurs, this is how I learned what they had done.
When the brakes were applied brake pedal went to the floor, and vehicle came to a stop. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer indicated that accumulator pressure switch needed to be replaced.
Brakes failed completely, the high pressure hose disconnected allowing the brake fluid to leak out.
While pulling out of driveway trying to stop vehicle brakes failed, brake pedal went to the floor with no prior warning. Contacted dealer. Please provide VIN.
Vehicle brakes overheated, causing brakes failure from fluid boil. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that was not covered under warranty, and any repairs would be at consumer's cost. *ak the pistons in the calipers had chips around the edges.
While driving about 55 MPH went to apply the brakes and brakes went straight to the floorboard, causing the consumer to pump the brakes, and the vehicle came to complete stop. The brake light came on. The dealer replaced the pump/motor and the front right wheel sensor. Vehicle hit a curb because the brakes went out. Vehicle has been in the shop five times, and the dealer can't determine the problem.
The ABS brakes are defective. When driving approximately 40 MPH on dry pavement, the main pump became inoperable. The dealer has replaced the brakes. The vehicle still has no brakes, the dealer cannot duplicate the problem.
Recall work completed on the ABS system, however brakes failed after repair.
Backing out, pressing on brakes & no brakes. Vehicle towed to mechanic & then to dealership. Mechanic noticed problem with brakes & was unable to get brake part from manufacturer. Dealership could not locate problem. Said problem was intermittent. Pior to this incident, the brake part in question had been replaced a ssubject of a recall.
Antilock brakes failed.
While driving down mountain experienced brake failure, when ABS and hydraulic lights appeared, then pedal became hard.
Related recalls
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- 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.
Recall number 96V099000 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- What is wrong
- The anti-lock brake system high pressure pump may be porous which will result in brake fluid leakage.
- Risk
- Fluid leakage eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Replace the ABS high pressure pump and high pressure hose if the last six digits of the bar code label on the pump are between 052300 and 059262.
Recall number 92V030000 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- What is wrong
- The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.
- Risk
- Fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Replace the ABS high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction.
