2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Complaints

CAR IS CONTINUING TO STALL. DEALER CANNOT FIND WHAT IS CAUSING. CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND WAS CONSEQUENTLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND. NO MAJOR DAMAGE DONE, AS WE WERE ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 5 MPH. CAR SPUTTERS A LOT, STALLS A LOT, AND IS NOT SAFE FOR ME AND MY 3 SMALL CHILDREN TO DRIVE. TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANYMORE AFTER THE WRECK, BUT WILL CAUSE ME A HUGE FINANCIAL LOSS TO DO THIS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS COMPLAINT NUMBER 2 WITH NHTSA. I SEE THE PACIFICAS WERE JUST RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM... WHEN WILL YOU LOOK INTO THE CONCORDS? *JB

CAR SPUTTERS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON SUDDENLY, CAR WILL STALL. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, AS WELL AS STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WHEN CAR STALLS, PUT CAR INTO PARK, AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEMS. HAPPENS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WITHOUT REGARD TO GAS LEVEL OR SPEED. WILL ALSO CAUSE OTHER COMPONENTS TO MALFUNCTION, SUCH AS AIR CONDITIONING, RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST 6 MOS NOW. *NM

JUNE 14, OUR FAMILY OF 5 WAS TRAVELING FROM MINNESOTA TO UTAH. WE WHERE ON HWY 160, 10 MILE FROM TUBA CITY, ARIZONA, WHEN OUR CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS REAR-ENDED BY A PICKUP TRUCK . ON IMPACT MY HUSBANDS DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED DOWN ONTO MY LEGS PINNING THEM BETWEEN THE SEATS. WE WHERE PUSHED VIOLENTLY INTO THE OTHER LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MARK, MY HUSBAND, WAS DRIVING. MARK GRABBED THE WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF UP QUICK ENOUGH SEE AND RE-GAIN CONTROL OVER OUR VEHICLE. WE THEN STOPPED SAFELY OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALONG WITH THIS INJURY I HAVE A BROKEN HAND WITH DAMAGE TO MY WRIST, ALL FROM THE IMPACT OF THE COLLAPSED SEAT. I HAVE ASKED CHRYSLER TO LOOK INTO THIS INVESTIGATION. I RECEIVED ATTITUDE FROM THE FIRST GENTLEMEN I SPOKE WITH. I REQUESTED THEY GO TO TUBA CITY WHERE THE VEHICLE IS BEING HELD SO THEY COULD DO THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION. I DO NOT YET KNOW THE OUTCOME OF THIS. BUT I DO NOT THINK THE SEAT COLLAPSING SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND IF THIS IS PROVEN TO BE TRUE. OTHER FAMILIES MAY ALSO BE AT RISK WITH THERE 2004 PACIFICAS. PLEASE HELP ME LOOK INTO THIS SEAT ISSUE. I AM DOING ALL I CAN TO HELP MY SELF AND FAMILY TO HEAL AND RECEIVE WHAT COMPENSATION IS JUST AND TRULY DUE WITH THIS RESEARCH. I NEED YOUR HELP TO KNOW IF THIS SEAT SHOULD HAVE COLLAPSED ON US AND IF NOT, HELP US SPARE A POSSIBLE FATAL OUTCOME FOR ANOTHER FAMILY BY MAKING THIS ACCIDENT PUBLIC INFORMATION WITH A POSSIBLE RECALL. *NM

SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS TO SIT UP TO THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD START. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED FOR THE STALLING ISSUE AROUND TWO OR THREE TIMES.

VEHICLE TENDS TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, SHAKING AND VIBRATION. ALSO, OCCURRED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, MAKING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT.*AK

MY VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORD LXI WITH AN AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT MIRROR. THE CONFIGURATION OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LAMP CAUSES THE MIRRORS REAR FACING LIGHT SENSOR TO BE SHADOWED WHEN A CAR IS FOLLOWING AT NORMAL DISTANCES IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE MIRROR TO RANDOMLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DRIVING DISTRACTION FROM BLINDING LIGHTS.*AK THERE IS NO FAILURE AS THIS HAS BEEN A CHRONIC CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AS THE MIRROR ITSELF IS WORKING NORMALLY. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS ALL CHRYSLER CONCORD MODELS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR.

LACK OF DRAINAGE INCREASING ACCIDENT POTENTIAL. NO DRAIN HOLE OR PLUG THE WATER ACCUMULATED IN SPARE TIRE AFTER EACH RAINFALL. THE TRUNK WAS FULL OF WATER. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED ITEMS IN THE TRUNK WET. THE CONSUMER ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM WOULD BECOME WET WITHOUT ANY RAIN. THE SPARE TIRE WELL WAS FULL OF WATER TO A DEPTH OF OVER FOUR INCHES. *SC

HEADLIGHT SWITCH BACK LIGHTING IN DASHBOARD NOT OPERATING. MAKES SWITCH EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE AT NIGHT.*AK
