My brakes went out August 2011. The brakes were
repaired including the accumulator. Chrysler reimbursed me $710.00. They failed again, this time in January of this year. I took the van to Verger Chrysler in Coos Bay. They honored the warranty but charged me $436.75 for a new accumulator! I complained and was told the part wasn't covered. Why was it last time?

My '93 T&C has had brake assist failure twice since I've owned it. It has cost me almost $1000.00. Is there a factory recall I can use or I'm sending it to the glue factory. Thanks

I have a 1993 Town & Country. Both lights for my brakes came on about 3 months ago. I took it to my mechanic and he told me the brakes were fine and didn't need changing. Now, when I press on the brakes, there is a lot of give and if I am going down hill or have to stop suddenly, they don't work at all!! What is the problem and how can I get it fixed?

Thank you.

my brakes/abs pump went up, while on vacation at the grand canyon ,just about made it over the clif ,if it wasent for downshifting/parking brake.towed van from there to palm springs, ca ,took to chrysler, still waiting 3 weeks later,lucky to have relitives to infringe on until matter gets resolved, so I can take my wife and 6 kids back home to york ,pa. other than the brakes the van has been very reliable,great ride smooth and quiet, with all the extras, so we still like chrysler they make a good solid ride.

Do you drive a 1993 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
