ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE ENGINE ON MY 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE FAILED. I MADE IT TO A DEALER BEFORE THE CAR ACTUALLY QUIT. I HAVE ONLY 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE FOR $7,100. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 2.7L ENGINE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME THIS CAR NEVER MENTIONED IT TO ME.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORD THAT HAS NEEDED REPEATED WORK. SOME HAS BEEN FIXED AND OTHERS NOT. MY FIRST COMPLAINT TO THEM WAS THE HEATER NOT COOLING. OF COURSE IT ALWAYS WORKED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT. I HAVE HAD THE PAINT TOUCHED TWO TIMES OVER THE DRIVER'S DOOR ON THE ROOF, THE SEAL WILL STAY AROUND THE HEAD LIGHTS. THE TRUNK LEAKED AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE CAR OVERHEATED ON THE 4TH OF JULY AND AGAIN THREE WEEKS LATER. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED AN OIL SEND RECEIVE SENSOR ON THE CAR BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO OVERHEAT AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON A HOT DAY. ON AUGUST 8, 2003 I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP HOT AND THEY HAVE HAD IT EVERY SINCE THEN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT, YET THEY WILL NOT CALL IT A LEMON. I NEED A CAR TO DRIVE AND I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT EVEN HAVE.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
FOR ABOUT A YEAR THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS HAD A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND WHEN IT ATTEMPTS TO AUTO LOCK EITHER BY USING THE REMOTE, INTERNAL BUTTON, OR THE SPEED SENSOR. BY READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, I SEE THAT MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OTHERS HAVE DISCRIBED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DOOR CANNOT BE UNLOCKED UNLESS YOU PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND THEN PULL THE LOCK UP. THIS COULD BE A VERY BAD SITUATION IF SOMEONE WERE TRAPPED INSIDE AFTER AN ACCIDENT.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
PASSENGER DOOR WAS REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER, HOWEVER IT NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. THE CONSUMER DECIDED NOT TO GET THE RECALL WORK DONE, BECAUSE THE DEALER INFORMED HIM, THE SEAT WAS BROKEN UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND THE PART WAS NOT IN STOCK AND IF THE RECALL WAS DONE WITH THE SEAT BROKEN,THE SEAT WOULD STAY IN ONE POSITION. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE NEEDED A TUNE, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER DISAGREED THAT A TUNE- UP WAS NEEDED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *MR *PH *JB
