ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
SLUDGE BUILD UP IN ENGINE HAS CAUSED THRU NO ERROR ON MY END A BLOWN ENGINE, WITH NO WARNING. I NEED A NEW MOTOR EVEN AFTER ALL THE MONEY I'VE PUT INTO IT WITH SENSORS IN THE TRANNY, NEW WINDOW MOTOR, ROD KNOCKING...AND I CHANGED OIL IN THE CAR EVERY 3,000 MILES USING THE OIL THAT CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS. THERE IS SO MUCH SLUDGE BUILD UP ON THIS 2.7 ENGINE THAT IF IT WERE A HUMAN ARTERY THE PATIENT WOULD HAVE DIED TOO...THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORS AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING TO HELP US GET IT FIXED, UNLESS WE HAVE AN EXTRA $7,000.00 SITTING AROUND

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
CONSUMER WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH HEADLIGHTS. AS LONG AS HE WAS DRIVING IN DAY LIGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BUT, WHEN HE WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT HE COULD NOT SEE. THE LOW BEAM GAVE HIM AN APPROXIMATE DISTANCE OF 75 FEET IN FRONT. CONSUMER COMPLAINED TO DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WAY THE LIGHTENING SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED. ALSO, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT EVEN IF HE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS CHANGED IT WOULD NOT BE ANY DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE TYPE OF BEAMS THAT FITTED THIS VEHICLE WERE ALL THE SAME, AND THEY COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID THAT HE COULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. *AK *SC

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
I HAD JUST LEFT CHURCH, AND GOT INTO MY CAR TO COME HOME. I PUT ON MY SEAT BELT, MOVED THE SEAT FORWARD, CHECKED THE MIRRORS, AND WITH MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, TOOK OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND LOOKED OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER. AS I DID THIS, I VIEWED A WHITE CAR STOPPED ABOUT TWO CARS LENGTH BEHIND ME, WAITING TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT. THEY WAIVED TO ME TO GO AHEAD. AT THIS POINT MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE COLUMN SHIFTER WAS IN REVERSE, AND MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR ( BY ITSELF ) WENT INTO FULL ACCELERATION FORWARD, ABOUT ONE AND A HALF CAR LENGTHS HITTING A TREE, WITHOUT MY SHIFTING ANYTHING ON THE SHIFTING COLUMN. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT STIRRED UP A HUGE AMOUNT OF DIRT AND DUST IN FRONT OF MY WINDSHIELD. THE TREE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED MY CAR AS THE MOTOR WAS STILL IN FULL ACCELERATION AS I REACHED TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. MANY WITNESSES GATHERED AROUND MY CAR COMING TO MY DOOR TO SEE IF I WAS HURT. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER, AND THEY REFUSE TO EXCEPT LIABILITY FOR WHAT I AM SURE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THIS CAR! THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND WITH THIS SAME CAR IN SEPT OF 1999, ONLY THE CAR WENT INTO FULL ACCELERATION IN REVERSE. *AK *CB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT
I HAD BOUGHT A 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE IN 2001. THE CAR HAD BEEN ACTING FUNNY. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON DURING STOPS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP WITHOUT MY PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE WAS KNOCKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC & PAID FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN, SOON AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPAIR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE CAMSENSOR. IT SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. ABOUT 6 WEEKS LATER ALL OF THE PROBLEMS RETURNED. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE EXCEPT WHEN I DROVE IT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY REPLACED THE CAMSENSOR AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, MY ENGINE FROZE AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE, NIETHER CHRYSLER NOR THE DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY LOSS.
