ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR STALLED, OIL LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED MAKING KNOCKING NOISE, TOWED TO CHRYSLER. DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS A NEW ENGINE. AT MY EXPENSE HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR AND CHRYSLER WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS CAR WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 T0 3500 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE COST IS 5000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I AM DEVISTATED BY THIS AND THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO ITS DEFECTIVE MOTORS. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY
1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL START AGAIN IN A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, ACCELERATING, DECELERATING AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO UP A HILL WHITHOUT THE CAR STALLING. WE REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND MUFFLER - WHICH WE WERE TOLD WERE THE CAUSE. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS - THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. NOW THE CAR WONT EVEN START.*AK

STEERING:RACK AND PINION
ON OCT. 31, 2003 I PURCHASED A 1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WITHIN 6 MONTHS I HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING BUSHINGS. ON JAN 26, 2005 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON INTERSTATE 40, WHEN I NOTICED ALOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AND SOME VEERING OFF TO THE LEFT. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY ALMOST SIDE SWIPING A SEMI AS A RESULT OF THE LOOSE STEERING AND VEERING. I MADE IT 3 MILES BEFORE THE STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITH MY TIRES FACING OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THIS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR HAS ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPAIR TO MY RACK AND PINION TO BE OVER $2,000. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OF THE CHRYSLER 1993-1999 LH STEERING PROBLEMS! I WAS LUCKY AS WAS MY WIFE, 4YEAR OLD SON AND 9 MONTH OLD BABY!! IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE CHANGE IN MY STEERING, I AND MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED AT THE VERY LEAST. PLEASE DO NOT DISCOUNT THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND REPEATING PROBLEM BECAUSE NOONE HAS DIED YET. IS THAT REALLY A CHANCE WE SHOULD BE TAKING?*AK

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
A/C HEATER PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS NEW, CONTROL HEAD REPLACED THREE TIMES. ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM REPLACED BY REPUTABLE INDEPENDANT AUTO/TRUCK A/C COMPANY @ 60K MILES. THIS INDEPENDANT COMPANY INDICATES THAT IT'S WIDELY KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT CHRYSLER A/C SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO FAIL @ 60K MILES, AND WE CAN REASONABLY EXPECT NEWLY INSTALLED SYSTEM TO PERFORM FOR 60K MILES. WE'VE SPENT OVER $2000 ON THE A/C, LAST MONTH REPLACED WITH CONTROL HEAD #3 @ CHRYSLER DEALER $300.00, STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT... CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER REALLY HAS NO CLUE... SYSTEM IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. PROBLEM VERY WIDESPREAD, ASK ANYONE. MOST FOLKS JUST GIVE UP, JUNK OR TRADE. *AK
