#707102June 2, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTY. GARAGE SAID IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE ABS SYSTEM SPECIFIC TO THAT YEAR (1990) AND CHRYSLER NEW YORKER. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $2000 - $3000 TO REPAIR. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE IN THE CURRENT CONDITION. CHRYSLER WILL NOT SELL THE PARTS TO THE GARAGE WHERE I HAVE THE CAR AND WANTS TO DIAGNOSE IT (AT MY EXPENSE I PRESUME) BEFORE THEY WILLL EVEN SELL THE PART AND AT THIS POINT, THE CAR IS NOT WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE COST IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR. SUBSEQUENTLY, I LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER WAS ORDERED TO RECALL THESE ABS SYSTEMS. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? *AK
