What owners wrote
Second ABS braking system failure (under recall 96v260000). Pump motor / actuator piston seal failure for second time. Caused accumulator to fail - manufacturer refuses stand behind ABS system - will repair only the part under lifetime recall. Have had two front end collisions due to this product failure. All power assist is lost to brakes - left with manual brakes only - brake warning lights come on, pump runs continuously - brake pedal vibrates/hums when depressed.
1991, jeep, cherokee with ABS. Brake light came on. No power brake assistance.need to stand with 2 feet on the pedal to get it to stop.
