STEERING:RACK AND PINION, STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS WHICH WERE REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE FINALLY DECIDED TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM BECAUSE WE GOT TIRED OF NO SERVICE. IN OCT OF 2000 WE HAD BOTH INNER TIE ROD ENDS AND THE LEFT OUTER TIE ROD END REPLACED. THE RACK ASSEMBLY WAS NEVER ADDRESSED IN THIS REPAIR. AS STATED EARLIER WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE STEERING. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. WILL PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED BEFORE CHRYSLER ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POOR DESIGN.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I BELIEVE THE FAILURE EXISTED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SIERRA MOTORS IN APRIL OF 2000 BUT I WAS UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE IT AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAD THE CAR IN ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT DUE TO FUEL LINE FAILURE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE UNDERCARRIAGE WHILE THEY WERE AT IT AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE LONGER I HAD THE CAR, THE WORSE IT GOT UNTIL I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK AND TOLD THEM IT SEEMS TO WALK WHEN I DRIVE IT AND SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE CAR. THIS TIME THEY DID FIND IT BUT THEY SAID IT DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT. MY DAUGHTER FOUND A RECALL ON THE 1994 CONCORD FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO FIND OUT WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED AND WHAT I CAN DO TO GET IT INCLUDED. THANK YOU. JEANETTE YARBROUGH. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
LEFT FUEL RAIL LEAKED SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF GAS WHEN UNDER PRESSURE. FUEL RAIL ASSY AND #4 INJECTOR WERE REPLACED BY DEALER AT A COST EXCEEDING $700. THE FUEL RAIL O'RING RECALL WAS COMPLETED THIS CAR IN 1999. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS FUEL-RAIL LEAKING PROBLEM SUBMITTED TO THE NHTSA. DUE TO THE EXTREME HAZARD, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND A NO-COST REPAIR. I HOPE A RECALL IS FORTHCOMING SOON TO REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL ASSY. FUEL RAIL LEAK WAS NOT CAUSED BY INJECTOR ALTHOUGH ONE INJECTOR WAS REPLACED DURING REPAIR.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT, INBOARD SEAT-TRACK IS BROKEN. THIS CAUSES THE INBOARD SIDE TO BE LOOSE. THE INBOARD SEAT ASSY CAN MOVE SEVERAL INCHES UP/DOWN. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE ONE DESCRIBED IN A CHRYSLER "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION" WHERIN THE INBOARD PIVOT BRACKET WAS TO BE REPLACED ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. IN WHAT MAY BE A RELATED PROBLEM THE FORE/AFT POWER SEAT MOTOR IS EITHER BURNED OUT OR DEFECTIVE. IN SHORT, THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT TRACK ASSY. IS DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. THE DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT STATES THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT TRACK ASSY. MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $450 OR SO IN PARTS ALONE. IN THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS UNSTABLE AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR DESIGN, I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE GROUNDS FOR A RECALL AND NO COST REPAIR. IN ADDITION, BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEAT TRACKS HAVE HAD 6 INCH PLASTIC GUIDES BREAK AND COME LOOSE FROM THE TRACK ASSY. THIS CAUSES THE SEATS TO BE MILDLY UNSTABLE AND LOOSE.
