1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Complaints

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HER HUSBAND PUT THEIR VEHICLE IN PARK AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CLOSED THE DOOR, HIS VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. SHE STATED HE TRIED TO CATCH IT, BUT COULD NOT. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND DAMAGED THE FRONT AND SIDE OF THEIR VEHICLE. NO ONE ELSE WAS INVOLVED. SHE STATES THAT THEY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT 2 WKS AGO, BUT FORGOT EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS FOR. SHE STATED THAT HER HUSBAND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT IF HE HAD STOOD IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

BOTH THE FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW AND FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW THE CLIPS FELL OFF THE WINDOW AND BOTH WINDOWS WERE REPLACED. I DO HAVE A PIECE OF ONE OF THE CLIPS. *AK

MY 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WAS MAINTAINED PER THE OWNERS MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS YET THE ENGINE FAILED AT 55,700 MILES. PLEASE ADVISE WHY CHRYSLER HAS PROVIDED 50% OF THE COST TO REPLACE CHRYSLER ENGINES FOR OTHER CUSTOMER YET CHRYSLER HAS NOT OFFERED ANY FINANCIAL HELP TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN MY CHRYSLER VEHICLE?*AK

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO ZERO. AS A RESULT, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO MORE THAN 5 MPH. NO IMPACT REPORTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED.IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE.( A RESEARCH WAS DONE ON THE 2.7 L ENGINE, AND THE FAILURE RATE WAS GREAT). *JB

WITHOUT WARNING ON EARLY MONDAY MORNING AROUND 12:15 AM ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE BETWEEN EXITS 1 AND 2, MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING FROM MAYRLAND BACK TO NEW YORK, MY 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LXI MADE A LOUD BANGING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD ALONG WITH SMOKE AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE CAR. THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED; I SWERVED AND PULLED ALONG THE SHOULDER. THERE WAS OIL EVERYWHERE ON THE GROUND. WHEN OIL WAS POURED INTO THE CAR, IT CAME RIGHT OUT. SO, MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO BROOKLYN, WHICH COSTS $445. LUCKILY MY IN-LAWS LIVE NEAR BY SO MY SON AND WIFE WERE ABLE TO STAY THERE FOR THE NIGHT. MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAID THAT HIS WHOLE FIST CAN FIT IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. HE SAID THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY INTERNAL DAMAGES AND A BAD OIL PUMP. MY CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. NOW, I NEED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE AND THE PART ALONE WILL COST ME $2,200.

2.7 LITER ENGINE FAILED ON 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH 65,000 MILES. CHRYSLER CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE AND HAS REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE ON THE REPAIR. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS $6,000.*AK

I WAS HOPING YOU COULD GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CONCERNING CHRYSLERS 2.7 ENGIBNE. I HAVE A 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. JULY 30TH, 2004 MY CAR STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND STOPPED RUNNING AS I ROLLED INTO MY MECHANICS PLACE OF BUSINESS. HE WAS ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT AND IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME OF THE PROBLEMS HE HAS SEEN WITH THIS ENGINE AND THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE A SILENT RECALL, I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD TIMING CHAIN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I DIDN'T FEEL THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER RELATIONS. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR ONLY THE PARTS, I WAS RESPONSILBLE FOR LABOR. BY THE WAY, MY CAR HAS APPROX. 44,000 MILES. AFTER REPLACING THE TIMING CHAIN, I CALLED TO SEE WHEN MY CAR WOULD BE READY AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IS STILL MAKING NOISE. THE SHORT BLOCK AND OIL PUMP WAS GONE, THEREFORE, I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT MY COST OF $5,500. I REMINDED THEM OF THE 2.7 ENGINE PROBLEMS, WHICH FELL ON DEAF EARS. CUSTOMER RELATIONS ARE OF NO HELP EITHER, THEY CLAIM THAT THE TIMING CHAIN DIDN'T CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE, BUT THE OIL PUMP DID. THEY WILL NOT ASSIST WITH ANY OF THE CHARGES. I ASKED THEM TO NOT FIX IT BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO GET HELP WITH THIS. I HAVE REQUESTED A SERVICE REP. TO ASSIST WITH THIS MATTER. CHRYSLER ALSO REQUESTED TO SEE IF I HAD NEGLECTED THE CAR BEFORE PAYING FOR PARTS ON THE TIMING CHAIN. THEY FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF SLUDGE OR ABUSE. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I AM EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THIS MATTER. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH THE INTENT OF IT LASTING LONGER THAN IT HAS, ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE! I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFORMATION.*AK

I HAVE HAD MY 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LXI FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. IT NOW HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND FIRST NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING. AT THAT POINT I KEPT DRIVING. AS I PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD AND HAD TO ACCELERATE I NOTICED MY RPM'S WERE A LITTLE HIGH. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE STUCK IN LOW GEAR. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE FUSE FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLLER. BOTH WERE FINE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED. I GOT ONLINE AND STARTING RESEARCHING THE CAR. IT TURNS OUT THAT SPEED SENSORS IN THIS CAR FAIL QUITE OFTEN. I SPOKE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME HE ALREADY HAD THE SPEED SENSOR REPLACED ONCE JUST BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HIM. MY CAR IS FIVE YEARS OLD, HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT, AND HAS HAD THE SAME PART REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT, NOT ME REPEATEDLY.*AK

SINCE I PURCHASED A 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE NEW, I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE DEALER OVER 20 TIMES. I HAVE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I HAVE INCURRED COSTS OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS THAT NOT ONLY FORCED ME TO RENT A CAR OVER AND OVER, BUT THE TIME LOST FROM WORK IS INEXCUSABLE. I HAVE HAD BRAKE FAILURE ALMOST RESULTING IN A CAR CRASH. NOW, MY CAR IS IN THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO SMOKE SMELL BURNING WIRES AND A COMPUTER AND ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CHRYSLER STATES THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILLL PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY ONE AND IT'S DANGEROUS. I AM IN FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY RIDING IN THIS CAR. IT IS A DEATH TRAP. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEEMED RECALLED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I KNOW VARIOUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT CHRYSLER IGNORES AND FAILS TO DEAL WITH IT. *LA
