Dt: the contact owns a 1993 plymouth voyager. She was going to pick up her daughter from school on 10-14-05 and vehicle had no brakes. She had to go 5 MPH all the way home. She spoke with someone at chrysler, who notified her that there was manufacturer's recall 685 on vehicle concerning the brakes. The dealer told her it would be two weeks before they could fix the recall because they have to make the part that was recalled. The dealership agreed to give her a loaner if she could get authorization from chrysler. However, chrysler has told her that a loaner was not part of the recall campaign. She asked chrysler how she was suppose to get the car the approximate 12-13 miles to the dealership, and she was told to just get in the car and go.

My wife was backing the plymouth minivan when the ABS brake system failed. The brake pedal was rockhard and both the ABS and regular brake light were lit. The system failed again when the tow truck came to assist her. The vehicle was eventually moved to russ darrow chrysler plymouth of madison for repair. They could not duplicate the failure and would not replace the system without a duplicated failure. We were told "we would have to drive it until the brakes failed again and then bring it back and they could fix it". When we complained and refused to take the vechicle they said that chrysler would not authorize the replacement of the system with a documented failure in thier tests. I contacted daimler chrysler at 800‑853‑1403 to register my request that the system be replaced and stated that we would not drive the vehicle as it was unsafe with another potential failure. Contacts there include dave pearl 2-1-99; tina 2-2-99;ron dandy 2-9-99 &2-10-99. Were told chrysler would not replace the abseven though there was an extented warranty because of recall #685.
