NHTSA Complaint #10321033 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). ABS LIGHT ON - FAILURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I OWN A CHRY-PACIFICA 2006, ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, JUST BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON, (TRANSITION BETWEEN ABS STOPPED WORKING AND TURNED TO TRADITIONAL BRAKES) I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CAR INSTEAD OF STOPPING KEPT GOING AND I JUST MISSED HITTING THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THIS REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN PROVIDING INSTRUCTION ABOUT REPLACEMENT OF SENSORS FOR PACIFICA, ALSO IT SUGGESTS IT COULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BASED ON WARRANTY PROVISIONS. MILEAGE: AROUND 60,000 THE QUESTION I HAVE IS IF CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY CAN'T THEY EXTEND WARRANTY ON SUCH PARTS THAT ARE RELATED TO SAFETY? ALSO, IT REQUIRES THE OWNER TO REPLACE ALL FOUR SENSORS - WHY? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BEDONE TO HELP THE CUSTOMER WITH THIS ISSUE? [XXX] *TR
