STEERING:RACK AND PINION, SUSPENSION:FRONT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
A POPPING NOISE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE ABOUT 12000 MILES. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO FIND HAVE NOT RESULTED IN A CURE. AT 35500 MILES I INSISTED THAT THE FRONT END BE COMPLETELY CHECKED. THE FOUR FRONT CRADLE MOUNTS WERE REPLACED BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED. ADDITIONAL CHECKING REVEALED A LEFT FRONT AXLE THAT WAS DEFECTIVE. THIS STILL DID NOT STOP THE NOISE. THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSEMBLY WERE REPLACED WITH ONLY MODERATE CHANGES IN THE NOISE. NOW A LEFT FRONT STRUT AND MOUNT ARE BEING REPLACED. I HAVE NO ASSURRANCE THAT THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I KNOW OF ONE OTHER CHRYSLER CONCORDE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED RACK AND PINION FAILURE IN THE PAST 30 DAYS. THIS OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAVE ENCOURAGED HIM TO REPORT THIS TO THE NTSB. *AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
AIR CONDITIONING NOT HOLDING A CHARGE. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO PROFESSIONAL AIR CONDITIONING SHOP SYSTEM EVACUATED AND A DYE PUT IN WITH THE FREON. THE TECHNICHAN INFORMED ME RIGHT AWAY THAT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS HAD DEFECTS IN THESE SYSTEMS SINCE DAY ONE BUT WILL NOT ADMIT TO IT. HE SAID THAT PRACTICALLY EVERY CONCORDE, INTREPID, CIRRUS, JEEP THAT COMES IN EITHER LEAKS IN ONE OF THE THREE SYSTEM, EVAPORATOR, CONDENSOR, DRYER. CHRYSLER CHARGES $950.00 TO REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR!!!! I CAN'T AFFORD THAT COST AND WILL LOSE SUBSTANTIAL MONEY ON THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROPER WORKING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAD ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICING DONE AT BOTHUN'S (EAU CLAIRE) ON 3-16-99 INCLUDING TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THEY REPORTED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT THAT DATE. WITHIN THE MONTH I BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE. IT WOULD SHIFT ERRATICALLY OR NOT AT ALL. I CALLED BOTHUN ON 4-16-99 AS PROBLEMS GOT WORSE. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR 4-19-99 AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION PUMP/TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING BADLY AND NEEDED REPLACING. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERED TO PAY 75% OF THE COST AFTER BOTHUN'S CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE REPAIR. I WAS NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AS I FELT IT WAS A PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE CAR HAVING FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES. I AGREED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND PAY 25% SINCE I NEED THE CAR,BUT I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY THE REST OF THE BILL. IT DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN A 1995 CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE AND GOOD CARE. MY PORTION OF THE BILL WAS $433.36 WHICH I WOULD LIKE REIMBURSED.
