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.

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
