SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THERE IS A STEAL TOOTH RING ON EACH WHEEL THAT PROVIDES A PULSE FOR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSORS. THESE RINGS ARE MOUNTED ON THE OUTSIDE CV JOINTS, NEXT TO THE FRONT WHEELS AND ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. THE FRONT RINGS GOT RUST UNDER THEM, THE RUST CAUSED THE RINGS TO CRACK. THE CRACKS ENLARGED THE SPACES BETWEEN THE TEETH. THAT SENDS A FALSE SIGNAL TO THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE COMPUTER CAUSING THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM TO ENGAGE ALL THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE RINGS IS BY CHANGING THE WHOLE FRONT DRIVE AXLES. THIS WILL BE A REPAIR BILL OF $300 - $400 FOR A PAIR OF STEEL RINGS. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST
HAVING OWNED MANEY CARS AND TRUCKS SINCE 1965 I FEEL THESE BRAKES ARE THE WORSE ONES I HAVE OWNED TO DATE AND FEEL THAT THEY WERE RESONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT.THE BRAKES REQUIRE TOO MUCH FOOT PRESSURE TO APPLY. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER CHRYSLER VANS, AND FEEL IT IS THE 1996 AND ABOVE MODEL YEAR THAT HAVE THE GREATLY INCREASED FOOT PRESSURE REQUIRMENTS TO STOP. IT SEEMS LIKE THE VACUUM BOOSTER IS TOO SMALL. THE 1994 DODGE MINIVAN WE VANPOOL TO WORK IN HAS FAR BETTER BRAKES IN TERMS OF BRAKE POWER TO FOOT PRESSURE RESPONSE. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONES AT THE DEALERS AND IT SEEMS TO JUST BE THE LATE MODELS THAT ARE EFECTED. IT REQUIRES TOO MUCH FOOT PRESSURE FOR A SMALL PERSON DURING A PANIC STOP. REGULAR BRAKING SEEMS TO BE OK, BUT I WOULD PREFER A LIGHTER PEDAL. *AK
