THE BRAKE MOTOR MAKES A NOISE, THE PEDAL IS HARD. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE IS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON REPLACING THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLYAND THE PUMP MOTOR, I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THESE PARTS BUT THE ACCUMULATOR WHICH NEEDED REPLACED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I FEEL SINCE THE DEALERSHIP " MCLOUGHLIN CHRYSLER JEEP" SERVICE WRITERS ARE ON "OMMISSION" AND NOT HOURLY WAGES, THAT THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO SPEND OVER $600 TO REPLACE A PART THAT SHOULD BE COVERED ON THIS SAFETY RECALL.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE ABS FUNCTION COULD BE LOST AND REDUCED POWER ASSIST WOULD BE EXPERIENCED DURING VEHICLE BRAKING INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL TEST THE VEHICLE'S ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VEHICLES IF NECESSARY. ALSO THE WARRANTY ON ALL ABS COMPONENTS WILL BE EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES (EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLY AND THE PUMP-MOTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL HAVE A LIFETIME COVERAGE). OWNERS WILL ALSO BE REIMBURSED FOR PREVIOUS ABS COMPONENT REPAIR COSTS.
