Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Chrysler Pacifica - part 2

The abs (anti brake system) light started to come on and stay on I brought the car to the garage for repair the light still comes on I have made some research on the internet concerning that problem and discover that a lot of owner having the same type of car as me (2005 & up Chrysler Pacifica) are having the same problem. Also one time when the abs light was on and stayed on while I was driving the abs system cause me to loose brakes for a few seconds when I was trying to brake, this is a serious safety failure and Chrysler should address that.

I purchased a used 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with 68000 miles on it. A week later the abs light came on. I was told it was the sensor but it was ok to drive. My brakes do not brake well and lock up on me. I got the pads replaced and rotors smoothed, but I am still having the sensor problem. While looking on websites, I noticed that many people have the same problem. What can be done to force Chrysler to recall this sensor?.

In October 2008 I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and I have been having alot braking issues since. The abs light is constantly going on and off and the brake pedal felt bumpy and non-responsive at times. This is dangerous!!!! I have 8 week old twins. I went on the internet to find alot of people are having the same problems. I have yet to go to the dealer with this but after the holiday weekend I will but the abs systems in these cars should be recalled before people get hurt or lose their lives.

My abs light comes on and off I have replaced my wheels rotors and pads assuming that it was my brakes that did not solve the problem and seems like my brakes worked fine but @times I would get like a scrubbing noise seem to be coming from the front wheels well brakes are great. And was told to take my car to a Chrysler dealership because the machine they had would not diagnose the code,well after that I new I would be into spending some money when I came to the dealership,I think this can be a dangerous situation if ever it came to a stop and would nt be able to . I think there should be a recall on the abs wheel sensors and the module control will never purchase another Chrysler in this lifetime very un satisfied consumer this is a serious concern especially some one who has children they are @risk this problem needs to be rectified before as soon as possible someone could end up in a serious accident and I have seen enough of the same problems resulting in the purchase of the Chrysler Pacifica and problems such as this deters me away from purchasing american vehicles such as Chrysler.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the abs light illuminated a few months after the vehicle was purchased in October of 2008. In addition, the brakes were experiencing issues. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they stated that there was nothing wrong. The brakes continued to perform abnormally and produced a whistling sound. The brakes also pulsated and made a grinding noise as if they would lock up. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that the pads were fine; however, the dealer installed cheap brake pads on the vehicle. The abs light illuminates intermittently and the contact must pump the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The brakes were repaired and the noises stopped; however, the abs light still illuminates. The failure mileage was 49,000 and current mileage was 73,400.

The abs light has been flickering on and off. Recently, the abs "traction" kicked in while the mrs. Was at a low rate of speed (luckily) without causing a collision. In reading about this problem on the internet it appears that there are others who have cited a similar problem with the abs module for the 2006 Chrysler Pacificas.

At approximately 48,000 miles the abs light came on. It eventually went off but then the brakes failed. The pedal went all the way to the floor before the car came grinding to a halt. The abs light now goes on and off and the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor at least once a day. After researching the problem and speaking to a mechanic, I found that the sensors had failed. It is a frequent occurrence among other 2005-2006 Chrysler Pacifica owners I've come into contact with across the internet.

My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica has an abs warning light that comes on and off, I went to midas and they told me there was a recall related to this, I went to dealership and they said only a technical advisory was issued saying to change all the brake sensors if one fails--this would cost me about $500--which I don't have. The dealership said I would still have brakes but the abs system would not work so I would be more likely to skid. This doesn't sound safe to me--I went on line and found multiple sites stating this is a problem with Chrysler Pacificas--so why won't Chrysler pay to have it fixed, and if they don't volunteer why doesn't someone in our government make them? help! I haul kids around all day in my Pacifica and I want them ( and me) to be safe.

I own a 2005 Pacifica that suddenly began displaying the abs dash trouble light two years ago. Subsequently the brakes pulse and grind as long as the light stays light. At times it feels as though the vehicle is approaching total brake failure. I took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed the problem and replaced the front right brake sensor. The vehicle returned to normal operating condition with no brake problems. A month later the same brake issues reappeared. I returned to the dealer who the replaced the same sensor and another (front left) sensor. The vehicle returned to normal operating conditions for approximately three more months. Now the light has come on again. In reviewing the internet while searching for "2005 Pacifica abs brake problems", I have discovered that Chrysler has designed in a revenue stream for a poorly designed abs brake system. There are many internet complaints regarding this very issue. Why has a recall not been issued? are you protecting what remains of Chrysler's assets? fair is fair. The abs light remains lit on my vehicle and the dealer wants to bolt on the same replacements. Why is a safety issue regarding the braking system of a vehicle not high on the priority list?.

Abs system will engage for no reason at low speed and light braking. Abs warning system light will come on without a reason. Abs sensors replace approximately 4 times. Have replaced a sensor and the abs light came back on within two miles of dealership. Various dealers can't seem to correct problem, car no longer under warranty, Chrysler offered to do a complete electrical diagnosis at my expense and depending on what they find they might correct the problem. Problem seems to related to outside temperature, light will come on, on a warm day, off in morning and off all winter.

Within about 3 months of purchasing my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica my abs light started coming on. Now it comes on and stays on. After inquiring about the problem from several shops I have been told it is a very costly fix ranging from 1000-2000 dollars. I am afraid that this problem could result in brake failure at some point and cause a wreck. Chrysler needs to recall this part and fix the many who are complaining about it.

Driving car the abs light comes on, first occurrence dealer replace the front abs sensors under the warranty. Just 400 miles above the 36000 miles the abs light came on again. This time it was the rear abs sensors and I had to pay for them myself (out of warranty). There is a technical service bulletin from the manufacturer on this part recommending dealers to replace all 4 sensors for customers. This part is of poor quality and the manufacturer knows it. Lives are put at risks at customers expense. This part should be recall for all vehicles affected.

We own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica touring edition. About 3 months after we bought it (and the warranty ended), we noticed that the abs light would come on. Sometimes it would stay on continuously, sometimes it would come off and on. When the light is on, and you press on the brake, the pedal begins to shake a little, and it's very hard to push and you hear a grinding noise. The car does not stop quickly at all, it just slows down a tiny bit. I've had more than 2 instances where I pressed the brake rather firmly and it didn't slow down enough and I didn't stop until I was in the middle of an intersection. I had both of my children with me at the time as well!! we took it to Chrysler where they told us it would cost us roughly $80 an hour for them to figure out what was wrong. We just don't have that kind of money right now. The problem still happens frequently, but there's nothing we can do about it. From the research I have done on this problem, it is a very large problem with the Pacificas. I've seen thousands of complaints online for this exact issue. Please put a recall on it, so that those of us who can't afford $80 an hour can make sure our children are safe on the roads. I'm afraid to even drive my kids to school for fear that the brakes will completely go out. Thank you so much!.

I bought my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica during the month of March 2007. After 3 days of driving the vehicle, I realized that there was something wrong with the brakes. At this time, my vehicle had only 18,000 miles on it. When I would hit my brakes the abs light would come on and it felt as if my brakes were actually bumping under my foot. The bumping was also coincided with a horrible grinding sound. I contacted the dealership and was told that the vehicle was to new to have brake problems and that the abs light was most likely a dummy light. As to date, August 13, 2008, the problem still persist. I cannot believe that there are so many complaints on this particular year, make and model of vehicle concerning the brakes and nothing has been done. Does there have to be a fatality to get anyone to notice?.

I believe there is a problem with Chrysler Pacificas abs system. I had a 2005 that after 7 attempts to correct the problem of the warning light staying on, Chrysler took the car back. I now have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica that has already been serviced once for the abs sensor being defective and it will be serviced again on Thursday for the same reason. Abs light stays lit. I have 18,000 miles on the 2006 and it will have been serviced twice for the same problem. It seems to me that this is an ongoing problem with this type of car. Have you any data on this problem.

Dating back to the spring of 2006, I have been having problems with the "abs" light symbol constantly coming on in my car. I took it to the dealers on several occasions and told them that when I'm traveling for 10-15 minutes or longer it comes on. They told me that they couldn't find anything wrong and they even test drove my vehicle. I'm very concerned about this problem. I'm afraid that the braking system is going to fail on me all together.
