I HAD TO RIDE THE BRAKE AND USE NEUTRAL IN MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE IS A 1990 JEEP CHEROKEE. IF HAS EFI, ELECTRONIC IGNITION AND CRUISE CONTROL. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED PRIOR TO RECALL, BUT BRAKE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY. AFTER WORK PERFORMED ON ABS SYSTEM AS PART OF THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION RECALL #702 BRAKES CAUSED THE JEEP TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE AT SPEEDS BELOW 25 MPH AND SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN BRAKE PEDAL FORCE BECAME NECESSARY TO STOP. THE ABS SYSTEM STILL FAILS ABOUT TWICE A WEEK (LIGHT COMES ON) AND BRAKING BECOMES NORMAL; I.E. NO PULL TO THE RIGHT AND DECREASED AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS REQUIRED. DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE AND LEFT REAR SENSOR RING ($$$) BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY 1990 JEEP CHEROKEE'S ABS SYSTEM IS FAULTY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND THE SELLER TOLD ME HE HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. WHEN I STARTED HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE BRAKES, TWO MECHANICS SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. THE JEEP DEALER LAUGHED AT ONE OF THEM AND SAID GOOD LUCK. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE ABS SYSTEM WITH NO REPAIR. NOW, THE BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY GONE OUT ON ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD SAFELY BOTH TIMES, BUT FEAR FOR THE TIME I WON'T BE SO LUCKY. *NLM
