THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BOSCH ABS FAILED IN MY 1990 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER LANDAU. THE FIRST TIME, IN 1992, THE ENTIRE ABS HAD TO BE REPLACED, UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME, THE BOSCH ABS PUMP MOTOR WAS REPLACED AND STILL THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS A LIFE-TIME WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER ON THE BENDIX-10 ABS ON THE 1990 NEW YORKER. THERE SHOULD BE A LIFE-TIME WARRANTY ON THE BOSCH ABS AS WELL. CLEARLY DEFICIENT AND A DANGER TO LIFE & LIMB. LUCKILY, I WAS TRAVELLING AT ONLY 35MPH/50KMS ON A SIDE STREET IN VANCOUVER, B.C., WHEN THE ABS FAILED COMPLETELY.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THEY MADE A WIERD NOISE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BUT VEHICLE WILL STOP. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED PUMP MOTOR. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE AND ANTI-LOCK LIGHT COME ON AND THE PUMP MOTOR RUNS. IT ALSO DOESNT WANT TO STOP AND THE PEDAL COMES BACK AT YOUR FOOT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE BRAKES LIGHTLY OR HARD. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL CLICKS HEARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS THE SAME SYSTM THAT ALL THESE CARS WERE RECALLED FOR IN 1991 AND 1992.*AK

DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF VEHICLE ABS LIGHT ON DASH BOARD CAME ON. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 96V099000, WHICH WAS SIMILAR TO PROBLEM THAT VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AFTER SAME COMPONENT WAS "REPAIRED" BY THE DEALER FOR A RECALLED ITEM, SAME EXACT ABS FAILURE OCCURED! SERVICE ADVISOR ASKED ME " WAS IT FIXED WHEN YOU LEFT?" WHILE DRIVING CAR IN 45 MPH ZONE OF CITY 4 LANE, ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AS A ROCK! WITH BOTH FEET ON PEDAL, WAS ABLE TO SLOW CAR ENOUGH AND PULL INTO GAS STATION. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER FIRST "REPAIR" I COULD NOT SEE ANY REPLACED PARTS AND SERVICE TICKET READ " COMPLIED WITH RECALL NOTICE". NO WORK WAS ANNOTATED. FOUND RECEIPT FROM WHEN MOTHER-IN-LAW HAD CAR ORIGINALLY CHECKED FOR RECALL, AND NOTICED DEALER WAS ONLY REQUIRED TO TEST SYSTEM. IF IT PASSES, THEY REPLACE NOTHING. DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS REMAIN IN CAR UNTIL FAILURE. HOW MANY MUST WRECK BEFORE CHRYSLER IS MADE TO GET THESE DEATH TRAPS OFF THE ROAD! THIS WILL BE MY LAST COMPLAINT, AS I SOLD THIS CAR THE DAY IT WAS "REPAIRED" AGAIN. I WILL NEVER TRUST CHRYSLER AGAIN. THEY HAD TWO SHOTS AT KILLING MY FAMILY, AND FATE SAID IT WAS NOT MENT TO BE. THESE CARS NEED TO BE OFF THE ROAD. THEY GIVE NO WARNING OF WHEN YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR BRAKES! ONE TIME THEY ARE FINE, THEN YOU PUSH THE PEDAL, AND YOU GET LIGHTS AND NO BRAKES!. *AK

WHILE DECELERATING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, APPLIED BRAKES AND GOT A BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT AND VERY HARD PEDAL. CAR SLOWED BUT WOULD NOT STOP AND WENT THROUGH RED LIGHT, ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. PARKED CAR AND STILL HAD LIGHTS, BUT BRAKES CAME PARTIALLY BACK. HAD CAR TOWED HOME AND WILL CONTACT DEALER ASAP.*AK

ABS PUMP AND MOTOR FAILED AND REPLACED ON THREE OCCASIONS. MJS

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE PEDAL IS HARD AT FIRST, AND THEN IT WILL RELEASE AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. IT TAKES A WHILE BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY RESPOND. THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS NOT NORMAL. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, ABS SYSTEM WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, AND VEHICLE WAS STALLING AND CUTTING OFF. ENGIN E CHECK LIGHT WAS ON AND WON'T GO OFF. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE, AND THE DEALER CAN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ABS SYSTEM FAILING TO OPERATE ON TWO OCCASIONS. AFTER FIRST FAILURE, REPAIRS WERE DONE AT A DEALER. LESS THEN TWO YEARS PROBLEM REOCCURRED. SECOND REPAIRS WERE DONE AT AN INDEPENTDENT DEALER, AND PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED, BUT ABS BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE CONCERNING DEALERS' FAILURES TO CORRECT PROBLEMS, AND CHARGING CONSUMER A LOT OF MONEY FOR POOR SERVICE. CAN NHTSA PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *AK

BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTY. GARAGE SAID IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE ABS SYSTEM SPECIFIC TO THAT YEAR (1990) AND CHRYSLER NEW YORKER. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $2000 - $3000 TO REPAIR. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE IN THE CURRENT CONDITION. CHRYSLER WILL NOT SELL THE PARTS TO THE GARAGE WHERE I HAVE THE CAR AND WANTS TO DIAGNOSE IT (AT MY EXPENSE I PRESUME) BEFORE THEY WILLL EVEN SELL THE PART AND AT THIS POINT, THE CAR IS NOT WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE COST IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR. SUBSEQUENTLY, I LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER WAS ORDERED TO RECALL THESE ABS SYSTEMS. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? *AK
