Tl*the contact owns a 1993 chrysler new yorker. The contact stated that the brakes on her vehicle suddenly felt as if more pressure needed to be applied when the pedal was depressed. The brakes pulsate when braking on slick surfaces. The ABS activates on dry pavement and slows the vehicle down; therefore, more pressure has to be applied to the brake pedal. A mechanic stated that the ABS pump was not activating properly. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. NHTSA campaign id number 96v099000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock) was referenced. The current mileage was 104,500 and failure mileage was 99,817.Owner report · Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Sep 2007
I own a mint condition 1993 chrysler new yorker with 68,000 miles on it. Last week the engine started leaking a large amount of gasoline from fuel rail onto the top of block and engine compartment. I saw where a recall campaign was issued to correct this safety condition so I contacted the local chrysler dealer to look at the vehicle. He advised me that my vehicle was not part of the recall and will not be repaired under same. How can that be?? It clearly states ""1993 chrysler new yorker"". Now he advises me that the cost to repair a leaking fuel rail/o-ring will be $536.00. This is clearly wrong. I need someone to investigate this defect. *nmOwner report · Fuel System, Gasoline · Oct 2006
