MY 1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH 3.3-LITRE V6 ENGINE. VIN#[XXX] THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF DURING DRIVING. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE RESTARTS ON ITS OWN IMMEDIATELY WHILE COASTING AFTER IT SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES FOR IT TO RESTART. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND AT $85/HOUR DIAGNOSTIC TIME, I AM RELUCTANT TO BRING IT TO THEM AGAIN. MOST RECENTLY THIS HAPPENED ON JUNE 23, 2004. ON THAT DAY, WHILE DRIVING, THE FIRST TIME TIME THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED BY ITSELF, THE SECOND TIME LATER IN THE DAY, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO RESTART IT A FEW MINUTES LATER. VIN IS [XXX]. MILEAGE IS 108,852. PURCHASED 6/00 AT CROTON DODGE, CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY.*AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

INNER TIE ROD BUSHINGS FAILED IN 2000. DEALERS REFUSED TO REPLACE UNDER EXT. WARRANTY. NOW 4 YEARS LATER, THEY ARE WORN OUT AGAIN AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. *AK

THE FLOOR SHIFTER SLIPS OUT OF GEAR BY THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. A SMALL CHILD IS ABLE TO KNOCK SHIFTER OUT OF GEAR. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER.

WE ARE NOW ABOUT TO PUT IN OUR 3RD 95 CIRRUS TRANSMISSION AND 2ND 95 CONCORDE TRANSMISSION AND FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. I HAVE SHELLED OUT NEARLY $12,000 BETWEEN THE TWO CARS IN THE LAST 6 YEARS FOR REPEATED FAILURES IN ENGINES, WATER PUMPS, STEERING ASSEMBLY FAILURES, TRANSMISSIONS, BRAKE SYSTEMS, RADIOS, AIR CONDITIONERS, FUEL RAILS, ALTERNATORS AND COMPUTER PCM'S TO NAME A FEW. BY FAR THE WORST QUALITY CARS AND HIGHEST COST OF OWNERSHIP OF ANY CARS I HAVE OWNED IN THE LAST 30 YEARS. SOMETHING MAJOR GOES WRONG WITH THESE CARS EVERY FEW MONTHS.

CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE PADS FELL OFF VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO CRASH. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS TRACED TO THE INNER PADS ON EACH OF THE FRONT WHEELS. EACH BRAKE PAD THAT FELL OFF WAS LOCATED NEAR WHERE EACH OF THE FRONT WHEELS WOULD BE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH CRASHED INTO HIS HOUSE. THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE RIVETS COMING OUT OF THE COUNTERSINKS HOLDING THE PADS INTO PLACE. *SCC *JB

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN CONSUMER HEARD A "SNAP" NOISE. THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED FREELY BUT THE WHEELS WOULD NOT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC STATED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE BUSHING BEHIND THE ENGINE. *AK
