Brakes failed completely, the high pressure hose disconnected allowing the brake fluid to leak out.
1991 Plymouth Voyager brakes complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 149, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When brakes are applied pedal becomes hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Please provide additional information.
When applying brakes pedal will intermittently go to the floor, and brake light comes on. Vehicle taken to dealer 7 times, replaced accumulater pump, wiring harness, and multi- function switch. But, did not remedy problem.also, there was a recall on the ABS system, but this vehicle was not affecteddue to VIN.
During normal operation of vehicle ABS light on instrument panel will illuminate intermittently. Also, while attempting to apply pressure to brake pedal, pedal cannot be depressed because of resistance from the pedal for unknown reason. Dealership has examined vehicle, and was able to temporarily correct the problem, which reoccurred six months later. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
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 in question has always been expertly maintained. The problem here, is the re placement of calipers during a rebuild sequence allows for the rebuilder, the right to replace a metal cylinder with a "phenolic" like cylinder, which has failed twice within a 5 month period on both front wheels. While on occasion a caliper or wheel cylinder may go bad-this design is seriously flawed in it's engineering concept. The phenolic pistons do not dissipate heat properly, and because of the design flaw of where the cylinder protracts when it meets the steel backing of the brake pad leaves fully 1/3 of the piston fully exposed to unnecessary hydraulic pressures. It is exactly at this juncture where a serious fracture occurs on the piston, rendering the brake dangerously inoperable. Moreover, the possibility of the ruptured particles can fall in between the rotors and the assembly, which would cause a vehicle to pitch and overturn due to the principles of physics. Chrysler has many of these deployed on the road in various models of autos an vans. This is far too dangerous an aftermarket product to allow the producers to continue flooding these markets with flawed design to begin with, and a seriously flawed replacement cylinder. As a pilot and aircraft owner I would tell you that the faa, would never permit such a desing on an aircraft. Having had many extensive years of expertise on both aircraft and automotive rebuilding-these brake units should be taken off the market and a suitable replacement should be mandated by the dot. The changes necessary to accomplish this are quite simple and would be effective. I would like to see the engineering documents showing the required tests performed by these aftermarket brake assembly producer. My suspicion is that there is little or no information other than a "white sheet" introduced in this matter. I can assure you that considering the sheer volume of these innefficient and flawed systems that the possibility that many may have.
The ABS would activate and vibrate. There was a recall on ABS ( 96v‑099) and dealer indicated to have replaced the ABS. However, the consumer believes the ABS was not replaced. The dealer says there was nothing wrong with the ABS.
I first reported this problem in january 1997 when the brakes completely failed. Eventually, it was covered under warranty. I have returned the vehicle 4 times with the same problem. The vehicle was returned on dec 31, 2000 with a request for meeting with chrysler rep., to date no action has been taken. In my opinion, the vehicle is unsafe, to both my family and others.
3rd time antilock brakes have been replaced, going 45 MPH hit brake pedal, nothing happened. Brake light kept coming on. Dealer could not find out why.
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.
Antilock brake system has failed 3 times, reinstalled part defective!
Consumer believes a tone wheel is an ABS component and that it should be covered under the recall extended warranty 96v‑099 provided by the manufacturer dealer stated that the part is not covered. Nlm
Consumer contacted dealer in reference to the federal safety agency recall 97v148000/ manufacturer's recall 742 concerning seat belt buckles. Also the federal safety agency recall 96v099000/manufacturer's recall 685 concerning ABS brakes. Parts were not available. Please provide any further details.
Consumer replaced 2 speed sensors within a year of each other. Nlm
The brake light came on. Had little braking in pedal. At dealer 3 days & no problem found. Had brakes changed. Problem reappeared. Brakes applied. Vehicle failed to stop like it should. Felt like working one wheel after sliding through an intersection. Brake light went out & pedal returned. Took back to dealer.
Consumer state that every month the vehicle brakes have to be replace due to wear. Please provide further information.mjs
When applying the brakes the pedal stiffens, the wheels lock up and vehicle skids. Also the ABS brake warning light comes on. Dealer has repaired once before and problem has reoccurred.
Recall (96v‑099) inspection completed, however vehicle experienced continued problems with the ABS system. Mjs
Faulty dual function switch caused total loss of ABS brakes which resulted in rearend collision.
Upon start up the brake light illuminated, while braking at a intersection the right wheel locked up and the other three wheels did not brake at all causing vehicle to screech to the middle of the intersection, dealer could not duplicate problem.
No summary
The problem is that dimeler chrysler cannot preform recall #685 (ABS piston pump mtr assy) because a key component of the ABS system (front sensor exhauster ring )has fallen off of the axle mounting point, in turn, not allowing the front wheel sensors to sense movement. Hence, the ABS system is disabled by the on board computer, and the technician is unable to preform the recall. The repairs fall into the (extented warrenty) section of the letter sent along with recall notice #685. Thank you for your attention in this matter . Happy hollidays!
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.
When driving at any speed the steering has vibration and there is a cracking noise coming from the steering. Also, the brake light keeps coming on and their is a loud noise when applying the brakes. Vehicle has been in the for the brakes to be fixed, and the problem is still occurring within the brakes and the steering.
