ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY:SOLENOID, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE TRANSMISSION ON A 1998 CHRYSLER CONCORD IS MALFUNCTIONING. FIRST I WAS TOLD IT WAS ONE PART, THE SPEED SENSOR. THEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE SOLONID PACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER SPENDING MONEY TO REPAIR PIECE BY PIECE. ALSO, MY CAR IS OVER HEATING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE PAID OVER $2000 IN PAYMENTS AND MY CAR IS NOT WORKING. *AK

STEERING
THE TIE-RODS IN MY 1994 CHRYSLER CONCORDE HAVE FAILED REPEATEDLY SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS AS WELL AS DEPLETED STEERING ABILITY. ADDITIONALLY MY STEERING WHEEL IS APPROX. 45 DEGREES OFFSET FROM CENTER. MY DEALER REPLACED MY TIE-RODS AT APPROX. 150,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY PURCHASED WITH MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS AT 173,680 MILES NOW AND THE TIE-RODS ARE ONCE AGAIN IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I AM CONCERNED THESE PARTS ARE DEFFECTIVE DUE TO EXCESSIVE FORCE PUT ON THEM BECAUSE OF A SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS SINCE THE TIE RODS WERE LAST REPLACED, AND EVEN AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED THE LAST TIME MY DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RETURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE CENTER POSITION FOR FORWARD TRAVEL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2001 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH A BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO SLUDGE AND NO HELP WHAT SO EVER FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. LEFT WITH 2 YEARS TO PAY AND A CAR THAT DOESN'T RUN. THE CAR HAS 48,000 MILES AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER IS REFUSING HELP TO SETTLE THE INCIDENT. CHRYSLER IS STATING THAT THE SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE IS DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE BY ME WHICH IS NOT TRUE. FROM WHAT RESEARCH I HAVE DONE IT SEEMS THAT THESE ENGINES ARE KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT OR HELP IT. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS JUST A CAR DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!! *LA

POWER TRAIN, SEAT BELTS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
THIS 1994 CHRYSLER HAS HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS, MOST RECENT BEING THE WINDHSIELD WIPERS FLEW UP AND STUCK WHILE ON THE FREEWAY IN THE RAIN GOING 55MPH. EXHAUST SMELLS BAD, STARTER IS BAD, AIR CONDITIONER TICKS WHEN TURNED OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS. AS A NEWLY SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 BOYS LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT THAT I CAN GET TO AND FROM RELIABLY, SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY MYSELF EVENTUALLY, THE LAST THING I EVER SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS A CAR THAT IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD. ESPECIALLY SINCE CHRYSLER IS SHOWING ALL THE BEATIFUL NEW CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I AM MORE THAN DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT I STILL HAVE $3,000 LEFT TO PAY ON A USED CAR.
