1994 Chrysler Concorde

Defect. ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FLOOR SHIFTER IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK MAY FAIL AND ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION WITH THE KEY REMOVED. AN INOPERATIVE INTERLOCK MAY ALSO ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED WHEN THE SHIFTER HAS NOT BEEN PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION.

Risk. EITHER CIRCUMSTANCE MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WITHOUT WARNING.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW LOAD-LIMITING PUSH ROD INTO THE FLOOR SHIFTER LEVER OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 14, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING BRACKETS CAN CRACK DUE TO FATIGUE AND SEPARATE FROM THE ENGINE CRADLE.

Risk. IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION HALF-SHAFT COULD PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE AND RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REINFORCE THE ENGINE CRADLE AT THE POINT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES TO IT.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT WITH 3.5L ENGINES. THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSET FUEL INJECTION RAIL.

Risk. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL O-RINGS AND REINFORCE THE OUTLET (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLES SHOWING FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE OUTLET FUEL RAIL MUST HAVE THE OUTLET RAIL REPLACED WHICH INCLUDES CHANGING THE UPPER AND LOWER INJECTOR O-RINGS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS OR FROM A CRACKED FUEL LINE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Defect. THE RIGHT STEERING TIE ROD CAN RUB THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH RESULTS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDING ENGINE STALLING AND AN INOPERATIVE PARK/STARTER INTERLOCK SYSTEM.

Risk. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION CAUSING STALLING WHILE IN MOTION OR AN INOPERATIVE PARK/STARTER INTERLOCK SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWS ENGINE START WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION, MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

Remedy. INSTALL A REVISED WIRING HARNESS BRACKET AND A PLASTIC CONVOLUTED SLEEVE TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS.

On september 5, 2004, mr.

OUR VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION. THIS IS UNSAFE, AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, SINCE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLS. SOMETIMES THE RPMS DROP DOWN TO NEAR ZERO AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE IT STALLS. OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COMPLETELY STALL, AND THE ENGINE RECOVERS, RESULTING IN A STRONG JERK. ALSO OCCASIONALLY THE CAR JUST JERKS NOTICEABLY TO STRONGLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOTICEABLY FOR A FEW MONTHS, AND WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS TO OUR VEHICLE THAT HAVE (POTENTIALLY FALSELY) BEEN DIAGNOSED. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE SEEMED TO AFFECT THE STALLING AND JERKING PROBLEMS. THE DATE GIVEN IS THE DATE OF OUR MOST SERIOUS STALLING EVENTS.

THE TIE-RODS IN MY 1994 CHRYSLER CONCORDE HAVE FAILED REPEATEDLY SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS AS WELL AS DEPLETED STEERING ABILITY. ADDITIONALLY MY STEERING WHEEL IS APPROX. 45 DEGREES OFFSET FROM CENTER. MY DEALER REPLACED MY TIE-RODS AT APPROX. 150,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY PURCHASED WITH MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS AT 173,680 MILES NOW AND THE TIE-RODS ARE ONCE AGAIN IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I AM CONCERNED THESE PARTS ARE DEFFECTIVE DUE TO EXCESSIVE FORCE PUT ON THEM BECAUSE OF A SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS SINCE THE TIE RODS WERE LAST REPLACED, AND EVEN AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED THE LAST TIME MY DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RETURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE CENTER POSITION FOR FORWARD TRAVEL.

COOLING SYSTEM CONSTANT OVERHEAT. I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, THERMO STAT, RADIATOR, OVER FLOW TANK CAP, AND HOSES WITH NO AVAIL!? :-( SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. THE HEADS ARE NEW, AND SO ARE THE HEAD GASKETS. I'M NOT LOSING WATER, AND THERE ISN'T OIL IN MY WATER AND VICE VERSE. SO THAT WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE IS STILL SOLID? I STILL HAVE FULL POWER UNTIL IT REDLINES AND SHUTS ITSELF OFF!:-( PLEASE SEND ANY INFO THAT COULD HELP!

I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CHRYSLER THAN ANY CAR I HAVE DRIVEN. IT IS NOT YET TEN YEARS OLD, BUT I HAVE HAD BRAKE WORK DONE AT LEAST THREE TIMES TOTALING 1500.00+DOLLARS. MY AIR CONDITIONING FAILS EVERY YEAR. THE BARS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR HAVE BEGUN TO PEEL AWAY FROM THE MAIN BODY. THREE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF FROM THE INSIDE, AND I DONT EVEN USE MY REAR DOORS. THIS WILL COST ME 150.00 PER DOOR WITHOUT INCLUDING LABOR. MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW BECAUSE THE MECHANIC IS CHECKING IT FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE REAR TRANS. MOUNT AND MOUNT BUSHINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF BECAUSE IT NEEDS NEW LOWER CONTROL ARMS NOW. WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILING THIS IS 900.00 WORTH OF WORK. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER EXCEPT AN EMAILED, "I'M SORRY...THANK YOU FOR BUYING CHRYSLER" IF I EVER GET THIS CAR OUT OF THE SHOP, I WILL NOT BUY CHRYSLER AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON VARIOUS REPAIRS ON THIS CAR AND IT IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD!

THIS 1994 CHRYSLER HAS HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS, MOST RECENT BEING THE WINDHSIELD WIPERS FLEW UP AND STUCK WHILE ON THE FREEWAY IN THE RAIN GOING 55MPH. EXHAUST SMELLS BAD, STARTER IS BAD, AIR CONDITIONER TICKS WHEN TURNED OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS. AS A NEWLY SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 BOYS LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT THAT I CAN GET TO AND FROM RELIABLY, SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY MYSELF EVENTUALLY, THE LAST THING I EVER SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS A CAR THAT IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD. ESPECIALLY SINCE CHRYSLER IS SHOWING ALL THE BEATIFUL NEW CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I AM MORE THAN DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT I STILL HAVE $3,000 LEFT TO PAY ON A USED CAR.

I HAVE A 1994 CHRYSLER CONCORDE THAT I PURCHASED NEW. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS SINGLE VEHICLE THAN 12 OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED COMBINED. HERE ARE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO FIX WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY: THE GAS CYLINDERS THAT HOLD THE HOOD UP BECAME WEAK AND THE HOOD STRUCK ME ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHILE I WAS CHANGING THE OIL. THE TRUNK LID WILL ALSO FALL AND HIT YOU ON THE HEAD. ONE OF THE REAR INSIDE DOOR LATCHES BROKE AND CHRYSLER ALSO REFUSED TO FIX THAT. I DECIDED TO FIX THE DOOR LATCH MYSELF AND THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THE DOOR HAD BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR 6 MONTHS. I HAD TO BUY A COMPLETE DOOR PANEL AT A SALVAGE YARD TO FIX A SIMPLE DOOR LATCH HANDLE. THE MOST RECENT AND SERIOUS SAFETY COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE HAPPENED ON 10-12-03. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I WAS THE PASSENGER ALONG WITH 2 OTHER PASSENGERS. WHILE APPROACHING A BRIDGE AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC WE HIT A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR DIED. MY WIFE NEARLY PANICKED AS SHE COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. SHE THEN TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK ON AND THE CAR RESTARTED. THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNED ITSELF OFF BY SIMPLY HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, SOMETHING WE ALL DO EVERY TIME WE DRIVE. I CONSIDER THIS LAST INCIDENT TO BE VERY SERIOUS AND FELT LIKE SOMEONE NEEDED TO BE INFORMED. I REALIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD BUT IT HAS LESS THAN 75,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE THIS CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON, WINDSHIELD

THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, AND IT SEEMS TO DO SO MORE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. HAPPENED ABOUT 3-4 TIMES A DAY. *LA

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR FAILED ON 5/6/02. THE FAILURE CONSISTED OF TWO TYPES. IN ONE TYPE OF FAILURE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN DRIVE, WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60 MPH. IN THE SECOND TYPE OF FAILURE, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT ABOVE SECOND GEAR. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO ASK IF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE REPAIRED FOR FREE, AND WAS TOLD NO. SUBSEQUENTLY, I HAD A CHRYSLER REBUILT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED BY AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE AT A COST OF ALMOST $2500.00. THIS REBUILT TRANSMISSION CAME WITH A 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE CHRYSLER WARRANTY. IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS (AND 1600 MILES) THIS TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE EXACT SAME WAY. THE INDEPENDENT GARAGE INSTALLED A NEW CHRYSLER REBUILT TRANSMISSION AT NO CGARGE TO ME. I FEEL THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE IS OF INFERIOR DESIGN AND/OR WORKMANSHIP. IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD YOUR TRANSMISSION FAIL IN THIS MANNER WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS YOU KNOW IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR SOME IF NOT ALL OF THE $2500.00 THAT I PAID TO FIX THIS PRODUCT.*AK

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT HIGH SPEEDS. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC AND THEY STATED THAT TIE ROD BUSHING WAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT. DEALER WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AKCHRYSLER APPEARS TO BE AWARE THAT THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT TIE ROD BUSHINGS DO NOT LAST AS NORMALLY AS THEY SHOULD.

IMFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM YOU IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPAIRED AT NO COST???? HELP !!!*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WHICH STATEED THE SAME PROBLEMS THE CONSUMER WAS EXPERIENCING WHICH INCLUDED POOR SHIFTING OR TRANSFER GEAR WHINING. THE ONLY SOLACE GIVEN WAS TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN IF IT GOT WORSE. WHEN IT DID, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. AFTER PHONING THE CHRYSLER CORP., CONSUMER WAS ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PARTS IN WHICH HE CLAIMS HE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY ANYTHING.
