DT: THE CAR STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION, MECHANIC REPORTS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 63 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN CAR BEGAN TO PUTTER AND THEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE CUT OFF. THERE WAS NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AS IT BEGAN , OWNER BEGAN TO PULL OFF TO SHOULDER, THEN IT DIED COMPLETELY. THERE WERE NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS ON AT THE TIME.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2001 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH 80,000 MILES. THE ENGINE FAILED AND I STILL OWE $6,000.00. A MONTH AGO I HAD IT CHECKED, OIL CHANGES, ETC.. THEN 4 WEEKS LATER I'M AT A STOP SIGN AND IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE WHICH RUINED THE ENGINE. THIS JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT OR FAIR. I FEEL THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE LASTED ME LONGER THAN 1 1/2 YEARS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS ACTUALLY EVEN HAPPENING...I CAN'T AFFORD THIS. YESTERDAY A FRIEND OF MINE HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING HER 2001 CONCORDE DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENDED TO MY AUNT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TOO AND HER INTREPID SAT USELESS WHILE SHE FINISHED PAYING OFF THE LOAN FOR IT. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINES IF IT'S HAPPENED TO NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT ALSO MY FRIEND AND MY AUNT. HO

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITH OUT WARNING OR LIGHTS. TOTAL SHUTDOWN WITHOUT POWER STEERING ON BUSY ROAD. THE ENGINE LOCKED UP DUE TO ENGINE SLUDGE. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH NEW BLOCK BECAUSE THE POORLY DESIGNED ENGINE COULD NOT BE REBUILT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CYLINDER WALLS ARE TOO THIN. USED ENGINES ARE NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2000 CONCORDE~THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A/C REPAIR. IT WILL JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP COOLING. THE FIRST TIME, 08/2004, IT HELD A CHARGE AND CHRYSLER COULDN'T FIND A LEAK OR PROBLEM ANYWHERE. THE SECOND TIME, 04/2005, CHRYSLER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AGAIN, SO THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE EVAPORATOR COIL (THEY WEREN'T POSITIVE IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM OR NOT SINCE THE E. COIL SEEMED "O.K.") TO REPLACE THE E. COIL IT WOULD HAVE COST $1,100! SO, CHRYSLER REFERS ME TO A LOCAL, VERY REPUTABLE, AUTO A/C BUSINESS. WE TAKE IT THERE, 04/2005, THE A/C HOLDS A CHARGE ALL NIGHT AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANY LEAKS ANYWHERE, PLUS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE EVAPORATOR COIL. TODAY IS A MONTH LATER AND MY A/C IS NOT WORKING AGAIN! I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE.
