SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THEN IN LATE AUG 1999 OR EARLY SEPT. I EXPERIENCED A BRAKE FAILURE FOR A COUPLE OF BLOCKS. WHEN I BROUGHT IN MY JEEP TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE MODULATOR WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART $2000. I GOT A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT MY BRAKES SHOULD BE FUNCTIONING WITHOUT THE ABS. THEN I HAD PROBLEMS AGAIN AND I HAD REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS & PADS REPLACED 10-5-99. ON 10-7-99 I HAD MY BRAKES GO OUT AGAIN FOR JUST A FEW BLOCKS THEN THEY WORK FINE AFTER I STOPPED AND STARTED AGAIN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE REPORT WHICH CAME BACK TO ME ON THIS PROBLEM WAS NUMBERED, CAMPAIGN ID #90V177000. THE FAILED PART IS "THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR". WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE CHRYSLER CORP. HAD TO PROVIDE THIS RECALL, BUT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL HISTORY ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, THERES BEEN A FEW. WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS IF I CAN GET THESE PROBLEMS OR PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE IT BECOMES AN ACCIDENT, BY THAT I MEAN THAT THE ENGINE KEEPS RACING AFTER I START IT, I HAD THE IDLE MOTOR REPLACED AT 179.00 DOLLARS AND ITS STILL RACING OR IDLING FAST. THANK YOU.
