ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
I am convinced the ABS failed and contributed to the collision that occurred. I know how to use the ABS and have practiced with it, so know how it feels when the system engages. This is the second time the ABS has not functioned - the first time nothing was found wrong! This time it is being checked again. There were no injuries but much car damage. No estimates yet.
Recall # 99v216000 daimlerchrysler /fuel pump; van has been serviced under recall campaign twice. The van was serviced first right after memorial day, and serviced again about 4 or 5 days later. Fuel continues to leak from the van. Also has problems with ABS and electrical system. *ak
The ABS braking system malfunctioned,causing vehicle to have no stopping ability, and resulting in an accident. Also there is a noise when the ABS system is activated. Cause unknown. Dealer cannot determine problem.
When driving in wet weather and braking activates the ABS, the windshield wipers stop working.
During the normal driving conditions the ABS kicks in within a very loud noise at low speeds and during reverse. During panic stops, the ABS does not kick in. The dealer cannot find the problem.
Abs: when applied brake pedal goes to floor, causing extended stopping distance, nearly caused an accident, no warning; also, steering wheel grinds, could crack, causing loss of steering control.
On dry road applied the ABS brakes, vehicle slid through the stop sign . Please describe .
When applying ABS brakes, it takes a long time to stop vehicle, causing a horrible noise, vehicle acts as if it does not want to stop, afraid to drive fast.
On three separate occasions the ABS brakes locked up, vehicle lost control/went into a skid and hit curb.
Abs, when driving at any speed and brakes are applied, vibration in the front end, also makes a loud noise, in for repair, dealer does not have parts, shoes, cylinders and springs are replaced.
Transmission stuck in first gear, also ABS failure, causing brakes to shake, engine would lose power while accelerating onto freeway; front windshield wipers would come on on their 0wn.
