FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY
1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL START AGAIN IN A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, ACCELERATING, DECELERATING AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO UP A HILL WHITHOUT THE CAR STALLING. WE REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND MUFFLER - WHICH WE WERE TOLD WERE THE CAUSE. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS - THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. NOW THE CAR WONT EVEN START.*AK

STEERING:RACK AND PINION
ON OCT. 31, 2003 I PURCHASED A 1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WITHIN 6 MONTHS I HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING BUSHINGS. ON JAN 26, 2005 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON INTERSTATE 40, WHEN I NOTICED ALOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AND SOME VEERING OFF TO THE LEFT. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY ALMOST SIDE SWIPING A SEMI AS A RESULT OF THE LOOSE STEERING AND VEERING. I MADE IT 3 MILES BEFORE THE STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITH MY TIRES FACING OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THIS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR HAS ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPAIR TO MY RACK AND PINION TO BE OVER $2,000. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OF THE CHRYSLER 1993-1999 LH STEERING PROBLEMS! I WAS LUCKY AS WAS MY WIFE, 4YEAR OLD SON AND 9 MONTH OLD BABY!! IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE CHANGE IN MY STEERING, I AND MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED AT THE VERY LEAST. PLEASE DO NOT DISCOUNT THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND REPEATING PROBLEM BECAUSE NOONE HAS DIED YET. IS THAT REALLY A CHANCE WE SHOULD BE TAKING?*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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.

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.
