Brakes are really spongy. If another driver stops in front of consumer's vehicle, brakes will hardly work. It takes too long to brake, so in an emergency, brakes may not perform properly.

Recall repair completed (96v‑099), however ABS system continues to experience problems, dealership refuses to fix again to repair vehicle.
Consumer was traveling at 60mph and the ABS brake system didn't wok at all. When applying brake the pedal, it went all the way to the floor. Also, consumer has a transmission leak, and the dealership is aware of the problem.
Recall #96v099000 chrysler/brakes:hydaulic: anti-skid system; while driving van on jan 28, 2000, ABS unit went out. At that time ABS warning light and the brake light came on. Van was towed away to a mechanic. Later, van was driven to the dealership. Dealership could not find a problem with the van. Dealer has asked owner to pick up van and drive the van unitl the problem happens again.
While driving ABS brake light came on. Went to apply brakes & had no brakes. Vehicle failed to stop right away. Took to dealer & mechanic replaced ABS pump. Later, brakes failed again & took vehicle back. Brakes repaired once more. However, problem has reappeared. Dealership has gone out of business. The am/fm cassette stereo system also malfunctioned. In addition, sliding door never closed appropriately.
At 5 a.m. I was travelling at 65 MPH on the interstate when I saw a deer cross in front of me. I immediately hit the brakes. One rear brake locked. I struck and killed a large deer. The grill shattered, the radiator crushed and pushed back into the engine. The battery wires fused together and the entire electrical system shut down. My two children (18 and 17) and I were bruised and shaken. The airbag never deployed.
Due to usage of cheap material the 2 front rotors are rusting and pitting, causing holes to develop, and resulting in brake failure.
The main concern is the transmission, not under warranty that cost $2500 to fix. The fusable link for the A/C actually burned, smoke was emitted (and also when the fan motor burned on the engine system). These are road hazards when the vehicle stops functioning with no warning.
Braking system malfunctioned, causing no braking ability at all which may result in a crash. Please provdie further information and VIN#.
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.
#1: anti-lock brake light began intermittently to turn on. Brake pedal operation "feel" would change significantly. For a 30,000 mile sequence maintenance check-up after 60,000 miles was reached at the dealer. The problems of the brakes were reported. The service shop adised the brakes were checked, and found to be okay. Within a few days, the same problems appeared. The minivan was returned to the service department. This time they indicated, which they did not earlier, that there was a recall on the ABS system (of which I was never notified) and the repairs would be made for free. Soon after, the same problems occurred. The vehicule was returned again to the same dealer service shop, the brakes inspected, and was told that the problem was related to a crack in a timing device attached to the front axle, and it could be replaced only by replacing the axle, involving over $800 charge. I refused the service, but was charged over $40 for "brake inspection". I am very upset with how this has been handled. Problem #2. After a passenger got out of the minivan from the front right seat, he shut the door and it did not latch. The problem was traced to the door weld to the car frame had failed. This appears to be a potential safety problem, and the service department advised that there had been several similar cases. However, chrysler refused to agree that the weld was a manufacturing defect and would not pay, in whole or in part, the cost of the repair. #3. A disagreeable odor is coming out of the airconditioning ducts, most strongly upon the first few minutes of operation. The service center claims that all they can do is mask the smell temporarily but it will come back. They have seen this with other vehicles as well. I am concerned if the source of the odor may represent harm to the health of the passengers.
