Description of the problem | My abs control module has a short in it, this set up my abs, esp and traction control warning lights to come on in the cluster. There was a tsb-09-041 issued on july 9, 2009 warning the dealers about this problem. Nhtsa number tsb is 10030926. This problem is all over the internet, many consumers who bought this vehicle got burned, i know my truck is now 9 years old, but this part should have never shorted out. Chrysler knew about this issue, no one notified me, and now i get stuck with a big bill that maybe chrysler should have fixed years ago. Yes, i'm pretty pissed. I know you people at nhsta do the best you can, but chrysler knew about this problem with this particular year vehicle, and issued the bulletin to their dealers. Maybe there should have been a recall issued at the time of the bulletin to replace these defective abs control modules that were bad from the get go, now years later the defective part that should have been replaced back in 2009, has to be replaced now, and it's expensive. Somehow chrysler got it right after the 2009 model year, no other models have had this issue like the 2009 model. Defective abs control module should have been replaced by chrysler when they knew they were no good. |
