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...

On november 4th, 2009, I was pulling into parking position with my wheel turned all the way to the right to avoid collision with the vehicle in the parking space next to me. As the turning continued I heard a lot pop sound and immediately following this sound was loss of wheel control. I had to slam the brakes because my vehicle had started towards the car in front of me. Which is the car parked next to the parking lot I was trying to park into. Obviously there was a failure in the steering column or shaft. Thankfully, I was traveling at a slow rate of speed. I was able to stop the car before I ended up hitting the car in front of me. *Tr

2001 Concord steering went out for the second time. Car has only 42000 miles. While backing out of the drive way one wheel went left the other stayed straight. My wife had just came home from work. *Tr

Mounting support bushings to "rack & pinion" become brittle and allow movement of rack which reduces steering response. During cold weather the problem is also noticeable as a squeaking noise when turning the wheel 'back and forth'. The heat from the exhaust pipe is directly below the rack and that pipe should be insulated to reduce the heat transfer to the bushings that anchor the rack (above). *Tr

Bad cradle bushings grinding noise when driving,turning,and breaking loud bang when overdrive is initiated and very bad alignment front driver tire started smoking and the brake rotor was hot enough to burn flat spots on my finger tips. *Tr

I have experienced alot of play in the steering of my chrysler concorde 1997. After inspection it was found that the front cradle bushings where worn away. I have owned this car for 2 years. I looked at a web site concerning this and other problems with this and other chrsler models. And is concerned about the issues related to severe and catastrophic failures with these vehicles. *Tr

A popping sound was coming from the front left side of the vehicle when the brakes were applied. Steering wheel constantly vibrates and has since I've owned the vehicle. A july 2008 safety inspection revealed "excessive play" in the steering linkage and left outer tierod was bad. Repairs performed and the same thing happened yet again three months later. After learning of all the complaints related to steering problems in chrysler vehicles, I now fear for my safety and that of my family. Chrysler needs to held responsible for the dangerous products they are putting on the market. *Tr

I have a 1997 chrysler concord. I had a severe clunking noise in front end. After several trips to the garage and almost $1000 later I had replaced both inner tie rod ends, all 4 cradle bushings as well as both swaybars in front end. Not to mention front end alignments after each repair. Then my left tie rod had to be replaced again within a bout a month. The problem was eventually fixed and noise stopped until now. Six months later I'm experiencing the same noises and a lose tie rod again. I have seen all the...

Complete steering failure on 199 chrysler concorde. *Tr

My car started making a lot of clunking and grinding noise when I would turn the steering wheel and when I would go over a bump while turning, so I took my car in to a car shop and they said that it was the tie rods on my car and that if I didn't get it fixed that I would more than likely have bad accident because the steering would lock up, so I am having my car repaired at my cost, when chrysler should have taken care of this when it was first brought to there attention. My car is a 2004 chrysler concord with...

My wife was driving our 1995 chrysler concorde when she lost total steering control while making a left hand turn causing car to go over curb damaging a sign at the warren public library and significant damage to the car. Upon inspection, it has been found that the tie rod linkage into the rack and pinion had broken off. *Tr

I did not have a accident. But I have had this car for only 15 months and I've had to take this car in for the same defect several times and many times over and over again especially the last 3 months. I've had it with this car and I can't deal with this any more. And toyota of escondido where we bought the car can't seem to get it right or give us another car. *Tr
