I REPLACED MY ABS PUMP MOTOR ON MY 1991 JEEP CHEROKEE IN OCTOBER 2006. MOPAR PART NUMBER R2007515. THE PART HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 96V260000. I HAVE SENT NUMEROUS SUBMISSIONS TO BE REIMBURSED AND EVERYTIME THEY FIND SOME EXCUSE NOT TO PAY. THEY CLAIM IT WAS REPAIRED IN 2001, I HAVE THE DEALER INVOICE STATING THAT ABS ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED. MOPAR PART NUMBER R4746415, NOT THE ABOVE MENTIONED PUMP. THE LAST TIME I SUBMITTED MY PAPER WORK IN SEPTEMBER. THEY CLAIMED NOT TO BE ABLE TO FIND THIS RECALL DESPITE ME GIVING THEM THE RECALL NUMBER BOTH THE NHTSA # AND CHRYSLER RECALL #702. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. ANY HELP I CAN RECEIVE FROM YOU WOULD BE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS. THANK YOU. *TR

I RECENTLY INSTALLED NEW BUMPSTOPS ON THE REAR OF MY JEEP AND NOTICED A DECREASE IN BRAKING ABILITY. TODAY WHILE DRIVING I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHILE INSPECTING MY BRAKING SYSTEM AND MY JEEP FOR DAMAGE. I NOTICED THAT I HAD A REAR BRAKE LINE COLLAPSED. I REMEMBER READING ABOUT RECALL 90V206000. IT STATED THAT "CONTACT AT FULL JOUNCE MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE TUBE TO COLLAPSE AND RESTRICT THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE TO THE LEFT REAR BRAKE WHICH AFFECTS THE BRAKING CAPABILITY OF THE VEHICLE." THIS WAS QUOTED FROM THIS SITE. I READ THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE LINKED, AND EVEN THOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT PULL UP THE RECALL, WHICH I HAVE GONE TO A DEALER UPON BUYING MY VEHICLE AND HAD THEM MAKE SURE ALL RECALLS WERE PERFORMED. THEY DID NOT SAY I NEEDED THE RECALL REFERENCED. MY JEEP DOES MEET ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF THE RECALL IN TERMS OF WHAT VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED. *TR
