1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, IT WOULD STALL OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. MECHANIC INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS BROKEN WATER PUMP. WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED IN 1996, & CURRENTLY ITS 2000, AND SAME STALLING PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED. *AK

THIS CAR HAS HAD 2 TRANSMISSION FAILURES PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF PROBLEMS GETTING THE CAR IN GEAR AT TIMES AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THE AXLE FINALLY BROKE AND THE FRAME RIPPED WHICH A FEEL IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. NO ACCIDENTS INVOLVED.

THE RESERVOIR FOR THE ABS EXPERIENCE A FAILURE; PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS:

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL # AA3 FROM CHRYSLER TO REPAIR POWER SEAT ON DRIVER SIDE WHICH COULD DEVELOP A MOVEMENT OR INBOARD PIVOT BRACKET COULD BREAK. CONSUMER CLAIMED THAT PASSENGER'S SIDE HAS MORE MOVEMENT, AND IS 4 TIMES MORE BROKEN THAN DRIVER'S SIDE. BUT, CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER PASSENGER BECAUSE CHRSYLER CLAIMED THEY WERE NOT DIRECTED TO DO SO BY NHTSA.*AK

SEATBACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS CRACKED. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS NOT BEING SUPPORTED. DEALER REFUSED TO SEE CONSUMER BECAUSE THERE WAS109,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. MANUFACTURE SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.*AK THE SEAT WAS REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE. *YH

AFTER RECALL REPAIR OF THE FUEL RAIL O-RING THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK WHICH RAN OFF THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE, A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT A REAR FUEL LINE SUPPORT WAS NOT INSTALLED AT THE TIME OF RECALL. NLM

FUEL LINE ON DRIVER'S SIDE WAS CRACKED AND LEAKED FUEL ONTO THE ENGINE. DEALER HAS ADVISED CONSUMER THAT THIS DEFECT WAS NOT A PART OF MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 8761 SINCE IT OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND NOT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. DEALER IS CHARGING CONSUMER FOR REPAIR EXPENSES. *AK

AT FIRST START OF DAY CONSUMER WILL SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHICH WILL LURK AROUND THE VEHICLE, BUT HAS NOT NOTICED A LEAK.PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

RECALL # 99V215000 DAIMLERCHRYSLER/ENGINE CRADLE; DEALER DOES NOT HAVE TOOL(S) TO CORRECT RECALL CAMPAIGN. OWNER HAS BEEN WATING 4 MONTHS TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED. OWNER HAS CONTACTED DEALESHIP SEVERAL TIMES CONCERNING CAMPAIGN. *AK

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION IN WHICH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO, SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK UP UPON IMPACT, CAUSE UNKNOWN. CHRYSLER REP SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, BUT THE SENSOR WAS NOT TRIGGERED BECAUSE THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE BUMPER, WHICH IS LOW AND WAS UNDAMAGED IN THE COLLISION. OWNER OF VEHICLE BELIEVES THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. *AK *ML
