2000 Chrysler Concorde complaints

DURING 4 YRS OF OWNERSHIP, I AM EXPERIENCING THE WORST. I JUST HAD MY RACK AND PINION REPLACED AFTER STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT RETURN OR WOULD LOCK IN PLACE AFTER MAKING A TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND FEELING AS THOUGH THE CHASSIS WAS FALLING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WILL NEED MY STABILIZER BAR REPLACED AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT ERRATIC SHAKING SOMETIMES SEVERE WHEN MAKING A STOP WHETHER COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY OR DRIVING ON A STREET. IT HAS GOTTEN PRETTY BAD LATELY. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT SINCE PURCHASING MY CAR CUSTOM ORDERED. LAST YEAR I HAD TO HAVE MY ACTUATORS IN ALL DOORS EXCEPT DRIVER SIDE REPLACED DUE TO MALFUNCTION. WASN'T ABLE TO OPEN BY REMOTE OR MANUALLY EXCEPT WHEN I PUSHED THE REMOTE FIRST THEN LIFTED LOCK MANUALLY. I HAVE HAD MY DOOR RUBBERS REPLACED 2 YRS AFTER OWNERSHIP AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE PULLED FROM FRAME. RUBBER AROUND LIGHTS HAVE PULLED AWAY ALSO WHICH GIVES THE CAR A VERY 'CHEAP' LOOK. *NM

I HAD OWNED MY 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE FOR APPROXIMATLY THREE YEARS WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. THERE WAS LITTLE IF ANY WARNING OF THE FAILURE IN THE WAY OF DASHBOARD INDICATORS, ETC. WHEN DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE SERVICING MECHANIC ADVISED THAT A SLUDGE BUILD-UP IN THE OIL RESERVE HAD CAUSED A FAILURE OF THE ENGINE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER I INVESTIGATED FURTHER, I'VE SEEN OTHER SUCH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2.7 LITER ENGINE THAT I HAD REPLACED. MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS POINT TO A TOO-NARROW OIL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IN THE ENGINE, THAT LEADS TO PREMATURE FAILURE. I BELIEVE THE ENGINE IS OF FAULTY DESIGN, AND IS UNFIT FOR DISTRIBUTION.*AK

DRIVING AT 45 MPH WHEN ENGINE MADE LOUD NOISE AND VEHICLE ENGINE SEIZED. THIS CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS IS 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH SAME 2.7 LITER ENGINE PROBLEM AS THE REST WHERE THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS SLUDGE BUILD-UP CAUSE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK BUT CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AS PER CHRYSLER RECOMMENDATIONS. *LA

ENGINE FILLED WITH SLUDGE, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL COMPLETELY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PISTONS GOING THROUGH THE VALVES. ALSO, VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE REAR, CAUSING THE FRONT SEATS TO BREAK OFF THE FLOOR. THE ENTIRE TRACK ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE MOTORS UNDERNEATH. *AK

2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH APPROX. 94K MILES IS HAVING WHAT THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC CALLS A "BLOW BY" AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SAY WE NEED A NEW ENGINE COSTING APPROX. $8000!!! WE HAVEN'T EVEN MADE IT TO THE FIRST TUNE-UP! WE'VE MAINTAINED THE CAR WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3K MILES AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE ALWAYS ASKED THEM TO INFORM US OF ANY IMPENDING CAR PROBLEMS SINCE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY A LOT. NO SUGGESTION OF A HEAVIER WEIGHT OIL OR ANYTHING! THIS APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE 2.7 LTR ENGINE THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT AND SHOULD FIX! WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO NEGOTIATE WITH DEALERSHIP NOW. *JB

OWNER WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20-30 MPH. WHEN MAKING A TURN, VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN LOOSING ALL POWER. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM WAS UNDETERMINED, AT THIS TIME. *NM IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE TO INDICATE ANY TYPE OF FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A STATE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE IN MY 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE ALL OF THE SUUDEN WITHOUT WARNING, QUIT. WHEN TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC, FOUND THAT THE CAR HAD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. THIS ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE AND 6 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN UNLOCK LEVER IS USED, THE LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK AND THE INDIVIDUAL UNLOCK BUTTOM ON EACH DOOR MUST BE PULLED UP. HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT PULL UP THESE BUTTOMS UNTIL THE AUTOMATIC UNLOCK LEVER IS FIRST ACTIVATED.THIS REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZZARD BECAUSE THE REAR DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED BY SOMEONE SEATED IN THE REAR SEATS UNLESS SOMEONE PUSHES THE AUTOMATIC UNLOCK LEVER LOCATED ON THE FRONT TWO DOORS. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK CANNOT BE LOCKED UNTIL THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING LEVER IS FIRST PUSHED TO LOCK AND THEN THE DOOR BUTTON MUST BE PUSHED DOWN MANUALLY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS WOULD ENABLE AN INTRUDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE.

CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ASSIST. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT 4 OF THE SAME KIND OF CARS HAVE BEEN IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM RECENTLY.

I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE OF $134.49 FOR THE HEADLIGHT TRIM REPAIR AND $201.17 FOR THE NEW DOOR GASKETS. THE TRUNK I WAS NOT GIVEN AN ESTIMATE ON BECAUSE THEY SAID THE WATER DOCTOR WOULD NEED TO REPAIR THAT. I TOLD THEM THAT I FELT THAT THE CAR WAS DEFECTIVE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. I WAS CALLED BACK A WEEK LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY 1/3 OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR, THE SERVICE DEPT. WOULD PAY 1/3 OF THE COST AND I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE REMAINING 1/3. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ARRANGMENT AS I KNOW THIS A DEFECT IN THE CAR.

CONSUMER WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH HEADLIGHTS. AS LONG AS HE WAS DRIVING IN DAY LIGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BUT, WHEN HE WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT HE COULD NOT SEE. THE LOW BEAM GAVE HIM AN APPROXIMATE DISTANCE OF 75 FEET IN FRONT. CONSUMER COMPLAINED TO DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WAY THE LIGHTENING SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED. ALSO, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT EVEN IF HE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS CHANGED IT WOULD NOT BE ANY DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE TYPE OF BEAMS THAT FITTED THIS VEHICLE WERE ALL THE SAME, AND THEY COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID THAT HE COULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. *AK *SC

I HAD BOUGHT A 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE IN 2001. THE CAR HAD BEEN ACTING FUNNY. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON DURING STOPS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP WITHOUT MY PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE WAS KNOCKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC & PAID FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN, SOON AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPAIR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE CAMSENSOR. IT SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. ABOUT 6 WEEKS LATER ALL OF THE PROBLEMS RETURNED. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE EXCEPT WHEN I DROVE IT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY REPLACED THE CAMSENSOR AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, MY ENGINE FROZE AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE, NIETHER CHRYSLER NOR THE DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY LOSS.

I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORD THAT HAS NEEDED REPEATED WORK. SOME HAS BEEN FIXED AND OTHERS NOT. MY FIRST COMPLAINT TO THEM WAS THE HEATER NOT COOLING. OF COURSE IT ALWAYS WORKED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT. I HAVE HAD THE PAINT TOUCHED TWO TIMES OVER THE DRIVER'S DOOR ON THE ROOF, THE SEAL WILL STAY AROUND THE HEAD LIGHTS. THE TRUNK LEAKED AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE CAR OVERHEATED ON THE 4TH OF JULY AND AGAIN THREE WEEKS LATER. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED AN OIL SEND RECEIVE SENSOR ON THE CAR BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO OVERHEAT AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON A HOT DAY. ON AUGUST 8, 2003 I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP HOT AND THEY HAVE HAD IT EVERY SINCE THEN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT, YET THEY WILL NOT CALL IT A LEMON. I NEED A CAR TO DRIVE AND I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT EVEN HAVE.*AK
