In owners' own words
Problems the brakes on the 1992 Chrysler Town And Country.*Mr the vehicle had a recall in 1996, for the brakes and traction control, as well as the abs piston pump and the abs hydraulic control unit. The same problems that occurred then are occurring now. The consumer feels that the vehicle is a danger and Chrysler has not done their job in fixing the vehicle.* Cb Service brakes, hydraulic
Continuing abs failure, I have had the abs repaired several times under warranty, but the abs system keeps failing. Now music city dodge is telling me there is contamination in the system and every thing in the brake system needs to be replaced to the tune of $3000.00. I can't see how this is correct considering they are the only ones who have worked on the brakes. Service brakes, hydraulic · reported at 107,667 miles
