TL*THE CONTACT'S SON OWNS A 2001 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE NOISE INTENSIFIED. THE MECHANIC CLOSEST TO HIS HOME PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE BECAUSE METAL WAS FOUND IN THE OIL. HOWEVER, THE NOISE CONTINUED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT COULD BE A ROD OR A CRANK SHAFT CAUSING THE FAILURE, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY RELATED TO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS 65,000 MILES, THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT
THE TRUNK LID HYDRAULIC SUPPORT DEVICES ARE FAILING TO HOLD THE LID OPEN ALLOWING IT TO FALL WITHOUT WARNING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND HAS RESULTED IN MINOR INJURIES TO BOTH ME AND MY WIFE (BUMPS AND BRUISES). I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2001 AND IT ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE AND HAS NEVER RECEIVED ANY DAMAGE. I FEAR A MORE SEVERE INJURY WILL RESULT IF THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES. *NM
