THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED THREE TIMES ON 4/15/08. THE VEHICLE IS A PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER, 1993. I ALMOST HIT A CAR THAT WAS TURNING IN FRONT OF ME. THEN THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I BARELY MADE IT HOME WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING AND PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I WENT OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC NEARBY, THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THE BRAKES WERE MUSHY UNTIL I GOT IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE BYERS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOW HAS THE CAR AND IS CLAIMING THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE ABS UNTIL THEY CAN. I DO NOT WANT TO KILL MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE WITH A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT MAY FAIL AT ANY TIME. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE DUAL FUNCTION PRESSURE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS APART OF THE ABS AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE PRESSURE SWITCH FAILED BECAUSE THE ABS/PUMP MOTOR HAD FAILED SO MANY TIMES. UPDATED 12/01/06. *JB THE STATED THE ABS MODULE HAD BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES

MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING, WITHIN SECONDS, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. THE DEALER FIXED AT NO CHARGE, ALTHOUGH I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING. TODAY HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MY 4 CHILDREN, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND THE BRAKES WERE GONE AGAIN. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 1999, THE ABS SYSTEM WAS REPLACED ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. EACH TIME WITH THE GUARANTEE THAT IT WAS FIXED. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED? THE DEATH OF MY CHILDREN AND I? I PURCHASED THIS MINI VAN FOR THE REASON OF SAFETY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DRIVE WITH MY CHILDREN QUITE A BIT. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS ISSUE. TO ADD TO THE DILEMMA, I AM CURRENTLY RAISING MY CHILDREN ALONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY HUSBAND IS OVERSEAS AT WAR. WITH THE ADDED STRESS OF MY HUSBAND BEING AWAY, I REALLY FEEL THE BURDEN WITH MY MINI VAN IS EXTEMELY UNCALLED FOR. I CAN NO LONGER DO THE SIMPLE TASKS OF GOING TO THE STORE WITHOUT FEELING FEAR THAT MY VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN NOT STOP. I AM JUST TRYING TO GET BY IN A SAFE MANNER WHILE MY HUSBAND IS AWAY. AND THIS EXPENSIVE VEHICLE MADE BY CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH HAS FAILED TO DO THIS FOR ME. YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE IS EXPECTED!
