1999 Chrysler Concorde complaints

I HAVE A 1999 CHYSLER CONCORDE, 2.7 LITER, WITH 85,000 MILES. THE ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING AND THEN THE OIL LIGHT THEN CAME ON. I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER SITTING I COULD RESTART THE ENGINE, DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE (.1 MILES) BEFORE THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN UNTIL I GOT TO AN EXIT. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO A GARAGE. THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED LIKELY BEARING FAILURE REQUIRING AN ENGINE REBUILD. THE OIL PRESSURE IS DROPPING AS THE ENGINE WARMS UP. THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS (BRASS) IN THE OIL. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM, THE ENGINE HAD NOT KNOCKED OR HAD ANY VALVE NOISE OR OTHER ISSUES INDICATING LOW OIL PRESSURE. I HAVE GENERALLY CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES. THIS FAILURE SEEMS PREMATURE AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT MOTORISTS ARE LEFT STRANDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY DUE A POSSIBLE DEFECT INVOLVING THE MATERIALS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. WHILE THE MILEAGE EXCEEDS THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY, THE FAILURE IS EXTREMELY PREMATURE.

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THEIR OWN. CONSUMER BELIEVED THERE MAY BE A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *JB

OIL SLUDGE IN LOW MILEAGE ENGINE. *JB

I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORD (PURCHASED NEW) AND WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE WAS "SHOT". TO REPLACE IT WILL COST $5,000. THIS INCLUDED $3,800 FOR THE REBUILT ENGINE AND $1,200 FOR LABOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! IT HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN IT IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. FOR A CAR THAT COST OVER $22,000 TO NEED THIS KIND OF REPAIR AT THESE FEW MILES IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. PERHAPS I AM NAIVE. I WONDER HOW MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED, BUT HAVEN'T OFFICIALLY REPORTED. MANY I AM SURE. I AM WORKING FULL-TIME AS WELL AS PART-TIME TO SAVE MONEY FOR A DOWN PAYMENT TO PURCHASE A HOUSE THIS YEAR. THANKS TO MY ENGINE BEING "SHOT" - MY HUSBAND AND I WILL HAVE TO FORGO OUR DREAM OF OWNING A HOME ANYTIME SOON. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET PAST THIS AND THE INTEREST RATES WILL STAY LOW ENOUGH FOR OUR TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO HAVE CHRISTMAS IN HER OWN HOME IN 2004!!!*JB

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR.*JB

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AFTER DRIVING MORE THAN 90 MILES WITH OUT STOPPING.*JB

I HAD JUST PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND WAS ABOUT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK WHEN MY 1999 CONCORDE TOOK OFF JUMPED A CURB STOP AND HIT A TREE, WHERE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELLERATE AND THE WHEELS DUG 5-6 INCH RUTS IN THE GROUND, BEFORE REVERSING JUMPING BACK OVER THE CURBING AND STOPPING. THE WHOLE TIME MY FOOT WAS ALSO ON THE BRAKE WHICH DIDN'T RESPOND.*JB

CHRYSLER CONCORD 2.7 ENGINE DRIVING DOWN HWY OIL LIGHT CAME ON LOUD KNOCKING UNDER HOOD CAR STOPPED TOWED CAR TO DEALER. THEY SAID I HAD A BLOWN ENGINE I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3 TO 35 HUNDRED MILES. THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE SLUDGE. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL OTHER ENGINE PEOPLE THEY SAID THAT THE 2.7 ENGINE HAS A HABIT OF BLOWING AT AROUND 75000 MILES

MY 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH 46,000 MILES ON IT DEVELOPED SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE CAUSING THE TIMING CHAIN TO COME OFF ITS TRACK AND SUBSEQUENTLY DAMAGING OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE. THE DEALER SAYS THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $8,000. WHEN I ASKED WHAT CAUSED THE SLUDGE, THE DEALER TOLD ME I DIDN'T HAVE THE OIL CHANGED ENOUGH. WHEN I PRODUCED DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, THE DEALER TOLD ME THE OIL USED MUST HAVE BEEN BAD AND BROKE DOWN. I FIND THIS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT GOTTEN SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER. I AM AWARE OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SEVERAL OF THESE PEOPLE WERE ALSO TOLD THE SAME THING BY THEIR DEALERS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A CANNED ROUTINE TO DEFLECT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM ONTO SOMEONE ELSE. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE?

CONSUMER ADVISED THAT TIMING CHAIN GUIDE HAS BROKEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN EXTENSIVE ENGINE DAMAGE. 1ST FAILURE OCCURRED IN 10/01 AT 34K MILES. 2ND FAILURE OCCURRED IN 11/02 AT 58K MILES. TS

WHILE TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEED, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED ABRUPTLY WITH NO WARNING. THE OWNER WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWN A RAMP ONTO A SIDE STREET. THE CAUSE STATED BY A MECHANIC WAS THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER DESTROYED ITSELF. TSTHE MOTOR THAT OPERATES THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FAILED. AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FAILED CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DISCHARGE. CONSUMER HAS BEEN REFUSED ANY COMPENSATION FOR THE FAILURE OF THE TORQUE CONVERTOR. *JG

IN EACH CASE, FAILURE CAME ON WITH OUT ANY WARNING. CAR IS DRIVEN BY MY WIFE (56 YEARS OLD) WHO IS AN ADEQUATE OPERATOR. SHE SAYS IN MOST RECENT INCIDENT, WHEN CAR DOWNSHIFTED HARD, IT ALSO STALLED IN TRAFFIC. SHE HAD SOME DIFFICULTY RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THEN PULLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED ME.

VEHICLE STALLED EACH TIME I STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT. ATTEMPTS TO DISCUSS THIS WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SERVICE MANGER AT ACCARDI DID NOT RECEIVE WHAT I CONSIDER, A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THE POTENTIAL GRAVITY OF SUCH A LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. IN FACT, A "MANAGER" THERE TOLD MY WIFE AND I THAT THESE THINGS HAPPEN, WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND IF PEOPLE DIE, WELL THAT'S WHY CHRYSLER KEEPS A TEAM OF LAWYERS WORKING. *AK
