I was driving in granite city about 1 1/2 hours from centralia my town when the ABS and emergency brake lights came on and my brake pedal got very stiff and I can barley stop. This has not gone away! I took the van to the mechanic and he said it was the brake (power brake booster and master cylinder) I have called auto stores to get the part but they tell me they cant even get the parts I need to get this fixed! I have to drive my van like this because I have no other vehicle and I have a husband and 3 children that I take to work and school every day. The mechanic told me the brakes can go completely out at any time and I will wreck!! What do I do?.

I currently own a 1993 chrsyler voyager with 94,000 miles on the odometer. The vehicle identification number is [xxx]. Over the span of 7 years (from 1995-2002) there were almost 6 accidents during this period. The anti-lock brake system in this vehicle was inoperative. In these instants the ABS light would suddenly come on and ultimately the brake would lock-up, and would not work. When pressing on the brake during these incidents it would not slow or stop the vehicle. *ak during this period, I have informed the chrysler dealership service department. Since it was under warranty they have change the computer component and its parts several times. However, the ABS is still not working properly. Recently the ABS light came on suddenly while I was driving and for about 15 seconds ABS did not work when press upon it. Then the light suddenly disappears and then the brake worked normally. I believe this ABS system is defective and there should be a recall in the ABS for this vehicle. This is a time bomb waiting to go off and I am afraid a terrible accident can happen in the near future. Has there been a recall for the ABS for this vehicle from this manufacturer? What options do I have now that the 10years/100,000 miles powertrain warranty had expired? What is the responsibility does the manufacturer/dealership have after having gone there several times to fix this problem without success? Can you provide some suggestions for me to protect my family and do I have any recourse?

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.
