1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Complaints

CAR STALLED, OIL LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED MAKING KNOCKING NOISE, TOWED TO CHRYSLER. DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS A NEW ENGINE. AT MY EXPENSE HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR AND CHRYSLER WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS CAR WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 T0 3500 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE COST IS 5000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I AM DEVISTATED BY THIS AND THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO ITS DEFECTIVE MOTORS. *AK

A/C HEATER PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS NEW, CONTROL HEAD REPLACED THREE TIMES. ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM REPLACED BY REPUTABLE INDEPENDANT AUTO/TRUCK A/C COMPANY @ 60K MILES. THIS INDEPENDANT COMPANY INDICATES THAT IT'S WIDELY KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT CHRYSLER A/C SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO FAIL @ 60K MILES, AND WE CAN REASONABLY EXPECT NEWLY INSTALLED SYSTEM TO PERFORM FOR 60K MILES. WE'VE SPENT OVER $2000 ON THE A/C, LAST MONTH REPLACED WITH CONTROL HEAD #3 @ CHRYSLER DEALER $300.00, STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT... CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER REALLY HAS NO CLUE... SYSTEM IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. PROBLEM VERY WIDESPREAD, ASK ANYONE. MOST FOLKS JUST GIVE UP, JUNK OR TRADE. *AK

SEAT BOLT RECALL BEING ORDERED. *BF THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THE RECALL COULD NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE THE MECHANISM UNDER THE SEAT MALFUNCTIONED AND SHORTED OUT THE DOOR LOCKING AND TRUNK POPPING CIRCUITRY. *JB

THE COWL PANEL REPLACED BY HOOD MOLDING 4805701AB, CHANGE OF DESIGN FROM ORIGINAL MOLDING THAT BLEW OFF. *BF THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING. ON A WINDY DAY. THE CROSS WIND FROM AN OPEN PANEL TRUCK CAUSED THE COWL PANEL ON THE HOOD TO COME OFF. THE PANEL HIT THE WINDSHIELD BUT CAUSED NO DAMAGE. *NM

RECALL SERVICE FOR DRIVER SEAT BOLTS WAS PERFORMED IN 2003. WHILE LEAVING A STOP LIGHT THE DRIVER'S SEAT UNEXPECTEDLY RECLINED FULLY. THE DRIVER REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND NO ACCIDENT ENSUED. THE DRIVER SUFFERED MUSCLE STRAIN IN LOWER BACK. NO OTHER DAMAGE OR INJURY. DEALER INITIALLY AGREED TO COVER REPAIR, BUT THREE DAYS LATER CHANGED POSITION AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR.*AK

WHILE DRVING APROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STALLED. CONSUMER WAS THEN ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE, AVOIDING ANY ACCIDENTS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THERE WAS OIL SLUDGE BUILD-UP IN THE ENGINE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

WAS DRIVING NORTH ON MI 31 BYPASS HEADING FOR SCHROEDER MOTORS TO PICK UP MY DODGE RAM PICK-UP TRUCK THAT WAS IN FOR SERVICE. TURNED ONTO NAPIER RD GOING WEST AND HEARD A CLAPPING SOUND LIKE A BASEBALL CARD IN THE SPOKES OF A BIKE. I THOUGHT A PIECE OF PAPER GOT INTO THE FAN BLADE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME ON. JUST AS I PULLED INTO SCHROEDER MOTOR MALL THE CAR DIED AND THAT WAS THE END. IT ROLLED TO A STOP RIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT. I HAD THERE MECHANICS LOOK INTO IT AND HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE WATER PUMP LOOKED LIKE IT FAILED AND CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO SLIP RESULTING INTO WARPED VALVES. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE ENGINE FOR ABOUT $6700.00. THEY WERE GOING TO ALLOW ME $1000.00 FOR MY TROUBLES OFF OF THE BILL. MECHANIC PUT ALL OF THE PARTS IN MY TRUNK AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME WHERE IT WILL SET UNTIL I GET SOME ANSWERS. *JB
