I HAD THE ABS REPAIRED ON A RECALL. SINCE THE RECALL I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SYSTEM. THE LITE CONTINUOSLY GOES ON AND THE BRAKES WOULD GO FROM ABS TO MANUAL SEVERAL TIMES ON ICE AND RAIN. SINCE THE WEATHER WARMED THE BRAKES SEEM TO WORK BETTER AND THE ABS LITE QUIT COMING ON BUT BRAKE FLUID RUNS OUT THE FILL RESAVOIR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. IS THERE A CONNECTION WITH THE HYDRAULICS AND THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACE WITH THE RECALL?*AK

ON JUNE 2, BRAKE SYSTEM FAILULED , RESULTING IN A NEAR CRASH ON DRY ROAD IN FAIR WEATHER. THE DRIVER STOPPED THE VEHICLE BY COMBINATION OF DOWNSHIFTING, APPLICATION OF EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SHIFTING INTO PARK POSITION, JUST BEFORE A CRASH WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. ON JUNE 4, JONES CHRYSLER DEALER (BEL AIR, MD) DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS "LOW ACCUMULATOR FAULT CAUSED BY FAULTY DUAL FUNCTION PRESSURE SWITCH." SERVICE REP. (DENNIS) STATED: (1) VEHICLE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FULL OF BRAKE FLUID AND FUNCTIONS PROPERLY; (2) THE BRAKE PUMP DID NOT CAUSE THE PROBLEM, AND THERE IS ADEQUATE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN SYSTEM; (3) THE FAULTY PRESSURE SWITCH SHUTS DOWN THE BRAKE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT ERRONEOUSLY READS LOW HYDRAULIC PRESSURE ALTHOUGH THERE IS ACTUALLY ADEQUATE PRESSURE; (4) THE SWITCH FAILS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, HENCE THE BRAKE SYSTEM MAY WORK PROPERLY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE SWITCH COULD FAIL AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING; (5) THE REASON THE FAULTY SWITCH SHUTS DOWN THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS DUE TO SYSTEM DESIGN, AND THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE MECHANICAL/HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES WHEN THE SWITCH ERRONEOUSLY READS LOW PRESSURE; AND (6) CHRYSLER WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SWITCH, RATHER CHRYSLER WILL PAY ONLY FOR MECHANICAL PUMP (HYDRAULIC) PROBLEMS. I AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED AND WILL CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE "800" LINE TOMORROW TO REQUEST THAT CHRYSLER REIMBURSE ME. MY COMPLAINT IS SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS. THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM ALLOWS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC READING TO CAUSE AN ELECTRONIC SWITCH TO SHUT DOWN THE MECHANICAL/HYDRAULIC FUNCTIONING OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, THUS RENDERING THE VEHICLE OPERATOR UNABLE STOP THE VEHICLE BY ORDINARY MEANS, AND CAUSING A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION TO OCCUR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BY ANY ENGINEERING SAFETY STANDARDS. CHRYSLER SHOULD (1) REIMBURSE ME FOR SWITCH REPLACEMENT, (2) CORRECT THE DESIGN FLAW, AND (3) INSTALL AN IMPROVED SYSTEM AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE.*AK
