1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Complaints

I AM AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER. WHEN THE FAILURE WAS FOUND (LEAKING FLUID DOWN THE INNER APRON AND RAIL ) I CHECKED FOR A USED ASSY. SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. OF 2 UNITS I HAD SHIPPED OUT I FOUND THE SAME STRESS FRACTURE ON BOTH IN THE SAME LOCATION. THE CRACK IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TANK AT THE MOUNTING POINT PROJECTION. TANK IS HELD IN PLACE BY A TAB ON THE BOTTOM AND 1 BOLT INTO THE TOP/SIDE BRACKET. I THINK THIS COULD BE A OEM PROBLEM AND COULD LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE OR POSSIBLE FIRE. I WANTED EVERYONE TO BE AWARE AND IF POSSIBLE HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED BY THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. THANK YOU.

VEHICLE PURCHASED USED BUT STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HAD IT AT THE DEALER'S ALMOST 3 MONTHS FOR REPAIR TO STOP THE SHAKING AT IDLE IN DRIVE WITH FEET ON THE BRAKES. AFTER ALMOST 3 MONTH'S AT 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS WE WERE TOLD THAT THE AWFUL SHAKE THE VEHICLE HAD WAS

FUEL SMELL AND LEAKAGE UNDER THE HOOD. LEAKAGE TAKES PLACE WHILE CAR IS RUNNING. TWO DEALERS NEW EXACTLY WHAT PROBLEM WAS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY SEE 2 OR 3 CONCORDES OR LHS PER MONTH WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 3.3 ENGINE (FOR WHICH THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PROBLEMS) BUT ON THE 3.5 THEY SEE THEM OFTEN. THE 3.5 HAS NO CURRENT RECALL. WHY? THE LEAKAGE AND SMELL CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM IS LEAKING DUE TO HAIR LINE CRACKS THAT DEVELOPED IN THE THERMO PLASTIC FUEL RAIL. VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN SAFETY RECALL #98V184000. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

CONSUMER WAS REARENDED BY A VEHICLE GOING AT LEAST 25 MPH WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO HIT PICK UP TRUCK IN FRONT, CAUSING AT LEAST $9000 WORTH OF REPAIRS TO FRONT END ALONE. DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING SLIGHT CHEST INJURIES. *AK

WHILE MAKING A TURN THE RACK AND PINION STEERING CABLE BROKE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. *AK

POOR HORN DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW FOR EMERGENCY USE, SMALL BUTTON VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND.

WHILE DRIVING GAS SMELL WAS NOTICED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND FUEL RAIL WAS REPLACED WHICH CORRECTED PROBLEM. *AK

WATER PUMP FAILED. ALSO, OVERHEAD CAM TIMING BELT FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED THROUGH A WALL. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING INSPECTED. *AK
