• 12/07/2004· VISIBILITY

  MY VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORD LXI WITH AN AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT MIRROR. THE CONFIGURATION OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LAMP CAUSES THE MIRRORS REAR FACING LIGHT SENSOR TO BE SHADOWED WHEN A CAR IS FOLLOWING AT NORMAL DISTANCES IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE MIRROR TO RANDOMLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DRIVING DISTRACTION FROM BLINDING LIGHTS.*AK THERE IS NO FAILURE AS THIS HAS BEEN A CHRONIC CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AS THE MIRROR ITSELF IS WORKING NORMALLY. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS ALL CHRYSLER CONCORD MODELS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR.

• 11/26/2006· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  RIGHT FRONT SIDE MARKER LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL BULB BURNED OUT. CANNOT ACCESS THIS LIGHT FIXTURE TO REPLACE LIGHT BULB. DEALER STATES THIS IS A $175 JOB. NEEDS TO DISMANTLE INSIDE FENDER LINING. I ELECTED TO FOREGO THE REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE COST. THIS NOW CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME BECAUSE WHEN CHANGING LANES TO THE RIGHT, VEHICLE THAT MAY BE IN MY BLIND SPOT WILL NOT SEE MY INTENDED TURN SIGNAL. I ATTRIBUTE THIS TO POOR DESIGN WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO AN ACCIDENT. *JB

• 11/24/2006· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLINGCrash

  CAR IS CONTINUING TO STALL. DEALER CANNOT FIND WHAT IS CAUSING. CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND WAS CONSEQUENTLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND. NO MAJOR DAMAGE DONE, AS WE WERE ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 5 MPH. CAR SPUTTERS A LOT, STALLS A LOT, AND IS NOT SAFE FOR ME AND MY 3 SMALL CHILDREN TO DRIVE. TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANYMORE AFTER THE WRECK, BUT WILL CAUSE ME A HUGE FINANCIAL LOSS TO DO THIS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS COMPLAINT NUMBER 2 WITH NHTSA. I SEE THE PACIFICAS WERE JUST RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM... WHEN WILL YOU LOOK INTO THE CONCORDS? *JB

MY CAR IS A 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORD WITH ONLY 61744 MILES ON IT, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE TIE RODS FIXED BEFORE I GET KILLED, MY APPOINTMENT IS NOV 18, 2008. *TR

• 11/09/2012· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE

  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

• 11/04/2009· STEERING

  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

• 10/29/2018· STRUCTURE,WHEELSCrash

  I WAS DRIVING WEST ON HWY 8, GOING 5-10 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT AND A VEHICLE AT A SIDE ROAD WAS STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. HOWEVER, HE THEN PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME INSTEAD OF WAITING, SO IT WAS HIS FAULT. HE EVEN SAID IT WAS HIS FAULT, AND HE WAS IN A HURRY AS IT WAS HIS LAST MEAL TO DELIVER FOR MEALS-ON-WHEELS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH BACK PROBLEMS AND MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS EVER SINCE, AND STILL TRYING TO WORK. ALSO, THE POLICE REPORT SAID THE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED, HOWEVER THEY DID NOT COMPLETELY DEPLOY; THEY STARTED TO BUT THAT WAS ALL, AND PICTURES WILL PROVE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I DO NOT KNOW THE RECALL NUMBER FOR OUR 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. PS: LOOKS LIKE THE POLICE REPORT IS MORE THAN 5MB SO HOW DO I SEND THAT TO YOU? *DT

• 10/20/2008· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  MY 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE HAS ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE CAME ACROSS LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE 2.7 ENGINES. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 1 YEAR AGO AND CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME SINCE THE CAR IS OLDER THAN THREE YEARS THEY ARE NOT LIABLE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO HAS BEEN RUDE TO ME AND HAS LIED TO CHRYSLERS CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE GOTTEN OIL CHANGES BUT OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE RECEIPTS. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS THEY SHOULD. *TR

• 10/13/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  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!

  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 ENGINE IS OFF. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I AM NOT A MECHANIC, BUT THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT EITHER SO I GUESS THAT WOULDN'T HELP! THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE REFERS TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS FINE. THIS IS A CONCORDE LXI ACTUALLY SHOULD BE CALLED POS INSTEAD OF LXI. WE HAVE REPLACED THE CAM SENSORS, THE CAM SHAFT, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY CABLES, THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE ENGINE. IT STILL QUITS SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH. THIS ALL BEGAN BEFORE THE WARRANTY WENT OUT, IT PAID TO REPLACE THE FIRST CAM SENSOR. THIS WAS MY FIRST CAR AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AFTER THE WARRANTY WORE OUT. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MECHANICS TELL ME TO GET A NEW CAR I CAN'T AFFORD ONE.

• 02/13/2007· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. OUR 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LXI HAS DEVELOPED MANY PROBLEMS OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, I WILL TRY TO LIST THEM HERE. WE HAVE HAD MANY EVENTS OF FALSE READINGS FROM THE BRAIN OF THE CAR ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS DOES THE OIL AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THAT THE CAR HAS JUST CUT OFF AT DIFFERENT STAGES IN DRIVING. WE HAVE BEEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR GOING DOWN A CITY STREET, OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, OR JUST COME TO A STOP LIGHT, OR JUST MAKING A TURN AFTER SLOWING DOWN. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THE SPEEDS THAT THE CAR CUTS OFF VARIES FROM 0 TO 5 AND FROM 5 TO 40 AND FROM 40 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. THIS CAR HAS SPUTTERED, JERKED, SPEWED BLACK SMOKE, RAN SO ROUGH THAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD SHAKE APART. WE HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR CUT OFF, THAT IS IF IT WOULD MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT TAKES FROM 5 MINUTES TO 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WILL RE CRANK AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED REGULARLY AS IT SHOULD BE BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS. THEY HAVE PUT THE DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE ON IT SO MANY TIMES AND THE READINGS ARE ALWAYS FALSE ACCORDING TO THEM, BECAUSE IF IT WERE A TRUE READING THE CAR WOULDN'T BE RUNNING AT ALL. WE HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED SO FAR BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SO MANY CLOSE COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, I AM AFRAID FOR MY WIFE WHO HAS TO DRIVE THIS CAR TO WORK. I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR GOD FORBID EVEN KILLED !!! *NM
