TURN LIGHTS OFF CAR CUTS OFF.
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
As I was driving my air ag was released. In doing so my arm was hurt due to the air being developed. Prior to that happening anytime I would park my car and set the alarm it wouldn't lock or unlock then it would reset my radio and light would start to flicker. *Tr
From the time of purchase we noticed the interior lights flickering. This could occur while driving, while parked, and even while the car was turned off at night. The car's alarm would also chirp when the car was off. This has continued, and progressed to the battery draining if un-driven for over 12 hours. We couldn't get any of our mechanics to take an interest in the issue. They couldn't offer any suggestions. When having a minor accident repaired, a mechanic suggested a problem with the wiring harness. *Tr
Since 2010, the car has had many electrical issues that have resulted in over 5,000 dollars in repairs and the problems continue to persist. In 2010, the car began having intermittent lighting issues and failure of the trunk latch opening mechanism. In aug 2010, the bcm was fixed/replaced. Since then, the a/c has become the problem that has led to thousand of dollars of repairs. The problem is that intermittently the a/c will not respond to changes in the temperature controls and only 180 degree air comes out....

The dealer has replaced almost all mechanical parts of the a/c and the electrical controls with the exception of the bcm. The problem continues and now the so call new bcm is no longer under warranty. *Tr
Suddenly, the clock spring in the steering column failed. I had no horn, cruise control and the air bag light came on. I had it replaced at a cost of $475. After repair I inspected the bad clock spring. The printed circuit spring cable came loose from its outer connector. I don't believe that it was anchored properly or it was improperly designed. I know of 2 other people who had the same problem with chrysler cars. Since the horn and airbag failed due to this part I believe that it is a safety problem. *Tr
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

I own a 2000 chrysler concorde. I have a problem that the interior lights on the door and inside come on for no apparent reason. I have taken the vehicle to shops to find the problem but the lights never come on. Frustrating is putting it lightly. The lights have come on while the vehicle is powered off and has drained my car battery. I have been dealing with this problem for quite some time. This on and off with the interior lights has been going on now for three + years. Good thing I own another vehicle that is not a chrysler product. *Tr
I've had a 1996 chrysler concorde lx for about 1 yr. It has always had problems when I put the key in the ignition 99% of the time I have to keep turning the key until it turns on, if it even does, and a few months ago everytime my car does turn on, all the interior lights stay on while driving and the door locks keep going up and down. It hasn't been drivable for at least 2 months now. Replaced relays, fuses, starter, alternator, battery! I even took it to a shop which the manager is a family friend, he had it for...

2 wks. Ran a full diagnostic and also the battery which is new and have exchanged several times will not hold a charge. It has new battery ground cable new cable from alternator to starter connection, new spark plugs and wires and still has all these problems. And now if the car will turn on the abs light comes on. Car was overheating and it now has a new thermostat. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned! And now the power steering pump has begun leaking. And a few times I have noticed the gears shift. The most frightening thing is when it does start, it will drive good for about 2 blocks and then, it just totally shuts down with no warning lights or signs prior to shutting down. I am a disabled individual and am so stressed out because it is literally undrivable. After I bought this car the 1st thing I noticed after about a week was the problem when turning the key in ignition over and over again till it would finally start. Sometimes I would sit in the car 15 minutes before it would start. I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone else mention this problem. I have a lemon and don't know what to do. I've missed dr. Appts. And also my son is disabled and we're just having the most terrible time with no reliable transportation. Can u please post if any of these issues are some of chryslers unreported defects or recalls. Please help! *Tr
