Latest Concorde LTD. engine complaints
When I try to brake at a stop light, my car tries to quit. When I slow behind another vehicle, my vehicle lunges upon continuing again. I have had the timing checked, but that is not my problem. I can smell gasoline when my vehicle acts up. I fear for my life and the life of my 12 year old son. I am a single parent working for $ 9.00 An hour. I need my car to get to work, but I'm afraid of it, and I just don't have the extra ...

money to have it checked and repaired! I thought perhaps it might have a recall on it, because so many others do! [[redacted]] [[redacted]] oak hill, wv. 25901 [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *Jb
The car completely lost power while on the highway. This occurred on a few occasion but this was the scariest. Losing all power I could only steer wheel and slowly move to the access road. Also there has been times where I am stuck at a location because car will not start. Battery is new so I do believe there is a manufacture malfunction and or faulty parts/components. *Js
The car head lights & dash lights dim when driving. If you play with control switch it sometimes makes them work right. Car stalls and doesn't want to restart. We have done the recall for exhaust. The a/c all the sudden started making noises when stalling and now does not work makes a hissing sound. I have kept this car in great shape and have it maintained & serviced regularly. I have had several sensors replaced and the engine light refuses to go off. I put it in the shop and they said it was because gas cap was loose. That wasn't the case, car is now sitting in driveway unable to start. Had the heads removed and fuel injectors cleaned and car still won't run. *Tr
2003 Chrysler concorde engine 2.7 With 74000 miles on the odometer. The engine coolant got mixed with the oil, not even the 100k miles range and now I end up with a $9,000 paperweight! Its not fair that the "poor" design and the misleading information on the owners manual ("the owners manual says that you can go 7,500 miles before your next oil change") has such a costly result, $5,000 for the engine replace, and chrysler is not doing anything about the problem, they're just blaming the consumer saying we didn't...

take care of our cars! My car has had the oil changed at 3000 miles every time, that's 4500 miles more often than the recommended "safe" distance mentioned on the owners manual! C'mon people this is wrong and you know it place a recall for this engine and keep the reputation you guys work for too long to acquire! Love chryslers but this is a nightmare! *Tr
2002 Chrysler concorde 2.7L engine. Engine noise due to excess sludge build up in engine even though suggested maintenance routine was followed performing oil changes at proper intervals. Clio michigan chrysler dealership maintenance technician suggested a total engine rebuild or a used engine replacement at a cost of more than 3000.00 Dollars even though the engine has only 73774 miles of normal driving use. Upon further investigation it was discovered that there have been numerous complaints and subsequent class...

action lawsuits filed against daimler chrysler corporation as a result of premature failure of the 2.7L engine manufactured by the chrysler corporation. I then filed a formal complaint with the chrysler corporation in regard to the engine noise and possible premature failure and suggested repair cost and as of his date have not been contacted by the said corporation. *Tr
On our second engine now. The second engine is now doing the same as the first before it quit. The check engine light is now on and no one can seem to tell me why the car keeps stalling while driving at a variety of different speeds and conditions. When it stalls the car is still partially on. The power steering goes out and I can not accelerate but there are still a couple of lights on the display the same ones that turn on when you turn the key half way forward. I think the electrical is still on but the...

engine is off. Does that make sense? I am not a mechanic, but they can't figure it out either so I guess that wouldn't help! The check engine light code refers to the catalytic converter, but I have been told that it is fine. This is a concorde lxi actually should be called pos instead of lxi. We have replaced the cam sensors, the cam shaft, battery, alternator, battery cables, the transmission, and the engine. It still quits several times a month. This all began before the warranty went out, it paid to replace the first cam sensor. This was my first car and I didn't know what to do after the warranty wore out. I still don't know what to do. Mechanics tell me to get a new car I can't afford one.
Events leading to failure: ordinary driving, including high speed acceleration, low speed acceleration, low speed deceleration, stopped, idling in gear. 5 Occurrences in 2000 miles. Engine fails completely, followed by immediate restart capability. Normal operation for many more miles. Car's computer fault code report is consistent with description contained in chrysler recall below. Chrysler recall (notification code j18) appeared to address the issue, but was rescinded. Was told by dealer service dept. That...

hour. The failure occurred every 12 months. A diagnostic test was performed by an independent mechanic which verified that the camshaft sensor was faulty. No repairs have been made to date to correct the failure. The current and failure mileages were under 68,034.
I have a 2004 concorde lxi. I also have had very many troubles with my car stalling while driving at various speeds and conditions. The engine will lose power and it will take some time before it starts. It seems that this is a big problem with several models that chrysler has produced. This problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible. *Tr

I was driving my concorde home from work a week before christmas and as I turned on the ramp to get off the highway at the bottom of the ramp my car just quit running, no sign of a problem at all with it being such a large vehicle it is very hard to control the steering. I was really thankful that it did not happen on the main highway because I was in the middle lane most of the way home and could have been rear ended and seriously hurt. I would like to know what the customers can do to get reimbursed fully or...

partially for the repairs since they know that they have a big problem with the engines. I had to have my engine replaced and so I paid for an engine & labor. Also this past summer mine and a friend of mines air conditioner went out, another problem that they have swept under the rug. Please e-mail me and let me know what we as the customers can do to get reimbursed for the parts and labor to get our vehicles fixed. Thanks for your help in this matter. *Tr
My 2003 concorde shut off on me while driving to work on 695 expressway. The engine light came on and I stared to lose power. On 06/30/08 quickly I put my car into neutral and it started back up and continue to work but would not go pass 60 mph. Lucky for me there was no heavy traffic or I could have been seriously hurt. There was no sign that the car was going to lose power as soon as the light pop on the car started to lose power. I took the car to a dealership for service and at that time they told me that...

it was a shorted upstream 02 sensor . I parked the car and did not drive the car until 09/27/08 to the dealership the car was repaired. On 09/29/08 after driving the car for 12 miles the light then pop back on again and the same thing happen it shut off while I was driving. I took the car back to the dealership at this time they told me there was a code that came during the test stated that the cat converter internal was defective and the down stream 02 sensor. I had that replaced. On 10/02/08 after that repair I drove another 24 miles this time and as usual the light pop back on again but this time the car sound as if it was in neutral or different shift and would not pick up speed with a roaring loud noise. I then pull over to the shoulder and turn the car off and then back on again and it continue to drive normal. Engine light constantly stayed on. I returned the car back to the dealership for repair at this time they said a different code appear and said the p0420,po430 and they order a ed cat converter and now the left upstream 02 sensor. Which they had already replaced the right converter and both sensors now they are working on the left. Car was repaired on 10/06/08 after that repair I drove the car to work and on the way home the engine light pop back on for the third time, took the car back to the dealership and now the code say po600 and the pcm and solenoid was programmed and replaced. Now I have to get up at 6am to take the car back. *Tr
