FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
(1) ALWAYS SMELLED GASOLINE AFTER DRIVING CAR FOR A WHILE. A COUPLE OF REPAIR PLACES COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I FINALLY FIGURED OUT MYSELF WHERE THE LEAK WAS IN THE ENGINE AND POINTED IT OUT TO A REPAIR MAN. (2) THIS REPAIR MAN TOLD ME IT DEFINITELY WAS LEAKING AND IF I LET IT GO ANY LONGER THERE WOULD CERTAINLY BE AN ENGINE FIRE. WHEN I QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT OTHER OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM, HE SAID THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN MORE OFTEN ON CHRYSLER'S THAN ANY OTHER CAR. (3) HE REPLACED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, AS WELL AS THE FUEL DAMPNER ASSEMBLY WITH FUEL RAIL. I DON'T HAVE THE OLD PARTS. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED THEM AND I WILL TRY TO OBTAIN THEM. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 CHRYSLER CONCORDE FROM MY HOME TO GO SHOPPING IN TOWN, WHEN THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED. IT WAS TOWED TO BOB RIDINGS FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE HAD SPUN 3 ROD BEARINGS, DUE TO ENGINE SLUDGE IN MOTOR. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 49,000 MILES ON IT, AND I HAVE RECORDS OF MY OIL CHANGES. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, DUE TO OWNER NEGLECT. SO NOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING TO HAVE A REPLACEMENT MOTOR PUT IN MY CAR. WHICH IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD, AND ONLY HAD 23,217 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IF THIS IS HOW CHRYSLER CARS HOLD UP , THEN I WOULD SUGGEST TO OTHER CONSUMERS TO BUY JAPANESE, AS MY HUSBAND HAS A 1985 NISSAN 300ZX, WITH 157,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER HAD A MOTOR PROBLEM, SAME OIL, SAME OIL CHANGES AS MY CONCORDE.*AK

TURNED ONTO NAPIER RD GOING WEST AND HEARD A CLAPPING SOUND LIKE A BASEBALL CARD IN THE SPOKES OF A BIKE. I THOUGHT A PIECE OF PAPER GOT INTO THE FAN BLADE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME ON.

I HAD THERE MECHANICS LOOK INTO IT AND HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE WATER PUMP LOOKED LIKE IT FAILED AND CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO SLIP RESULTING INTO WARPED VALVES. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE ENGINE FOR ABOUT $6700.00. THEY WERE GOING TO ALLOW ME $1000.00 FOR MY TROUBLES OFF OF THE BILL. MECHANIC PUT ALL OF THE PARTS IN MY TRUNK AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME WHERE IT WILL SET UNTIL I GET SOME ANSWERS. *JB

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
MY VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORD LXI WITH AN AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT MIRROR. THE CONFIGURATION OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LAMP CAUSES THE MIRRORS REAR FACING LIGHT SENSOR TO BE SHADOWED WHEN A CAR IS FOLLOWING AT NORMAL DISTANCES IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE MIRROR TO RANDOMLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DRIVING DISTRACTION FROM BLINDING LIGHTS.*AK THERE IS NO FAILURE AS THIS HAS BEEN A CHRONIC CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AS THE MIRROR ITSELF IS WORKING NORMALLY. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS ALL CHRYSLER CONCORD MODELS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR.
