Re: IML: My turn for the '90s ABS brake problem

David, all that I know is that it a life long recall and don't let anyone tell you different. However, the life time recall is only on the : 1) AUG 96. Recall - ABS Piston & Pump/Motor Assy. 2) JAN 92. Recall - Anti-lock Brake System High Pressure Hose. They might try and tell you that it's not the recall part that failed -I hate the dealership -Beware! David, this message is from Alan who has our car and recently had it repaired. Keep the good fight! -Anthony! Alan wrote;

 

"I just went thru with this. My 90 Bendix ABS failed. Chrysler fixed it for free, under the recall. The Dealer used the last 8 digests of my VIN and pulled up the record. It showed mine was 1st repaired under the recall in 96. The recall for the pumps is for the life of the car IE as long as the car is being driven. If need I can scan the word order and you can show it to your Dealer. This work can only be done by the Dealer."

 

Bottom line if the Dealer shows it was fixed once they should fix it again. The recall is not a one time deal, if the part fails again it is covered.

Subject: IML: My turn for the '90s ABS brake problem

My mechanic informs me that the slow fluid leak from behind the master cylinder can only be remedied by replacing the fabled ABS system at a cost of $2000, and parts are on back order 'til December.

 

At my request, he contacted the service department of a local dealer who informed him their shop stopped honoring the "lifetime" warranty on portions of this work two years ago.

 

I am not up on the latest, so can someone please let me know if this is, in fact, a new twist in the never-ending saga of '90s Imperial ABS brakes?

 

Thanks,

 

David
