I have read about the recall on the abs system for the chrysler imperial.i purchased a 1991 imperial in february of 2000.in may of 2000 i had to have some repair work done on the brake system.such as replacement of the pump motor and the accumulator for the amount of $623.61 labor and parts.once again in november of 2002 i had to have the accumulator pressure switch replaced, listed as dual function pressure switch holding pressure at 2000 psi. This repair job cost me $466.82 out of pocket including labor and parts.
