2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Complaints

CONSUMER NOTICED WHILE DRIVING A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. VEHICLE WAS SERVICE BY TECHNICIAN, NOTICE FRONT FRAME BUSHING CRADLES WERE MISSING. *AK

FOR ABOUT A YEAR THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS HAD A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND WHEN IT ATTEMPTS TO AUTO LOCK EITHER BY USING THE REMOTE, INTERNAL BUTTON, OR THE SPEED SENSOR. BY READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, I SEE THAT MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OTHERS HAVE DISCRIBED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DOOR CANNOT BE UNLOCKED UNLESS YOU PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND THEN PULL THE LOCK UP. THIS COULD BE A VERY BAD SITUATION IF SOMEONE WERE TRAPPED INSIDE AFTER AN ACCIDENT.*AK

MOTOR IN 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE STOPPED RUNNING. WAS TOLD BY MACHENIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO ENGINE OIL FORMING INTO SLUDGE. *AK

PASSENGER DOOR WAS REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER, HOWEVER IT NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. THE CONSUMER DECIDED NOT TO GET THE RECALL WORK DONE, BECAUSE THE DEALER INFORMED HIM, THE SEAT WAS BROKEN UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND THE PART WAS NOT IN STOCK AND IF THE RECALL WAS DONE WITH THE SEAT BROKEN,THE SEAT WOULD STAY IN ONE POSITION. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE NEEDED A TUNE, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER DISAGREED THAT A TUNE- UP WAS NEEDED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *MR *PH *JB

ENGINE SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. IF CAR IS PLACED IN NEUTRAL DURING SURGE, ENGINE RETURNS TO IDLE AFTER A FEW SECONDS. DEALER IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE SINCE NO TROUBLE CODES HAVE BEEN RECORDED.*AK
