MIDDLE INJECTOR O-RING ON LEFT BANK IS LEAKING AT THE TOP. MY CAR IS A 1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE AND FALLS UNDER RECALL ID 98V184000. THE RECALL WAS DONE ONCE AND I KNOW THAT THE O-RINGS ARE REPLACED AS PART OF THIS RECALL SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WON'T FIX THIS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AND THEY CHARGED ME $102 LABOR BECAUSE THEY SAID IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. AS I UNDERSTAND THIS THE O-RINGS WERE REPLACED AND NOW THERE WORK HAS FAILED AND THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND IT. *NM

Jul 12, 2006

DT: THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL RAIL,, AND WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THE CONSUMER WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL. THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS FOUND THROUGH A CHRYSLER WEBSITE, AND CONSUMER PUT IN THE LAST EIGHT DIGITS OF THE VIN AND THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER'S SON CONTACTED CHRYSLER THIRTY TIMES , AND THEY ADVISED THE CONSUMER TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THERE WAS FUEL RAIL LEAK, AND A NEW FUEL RAIL WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED, ALONG WITH OTHER WIRING THAT WAS MELTED AS A RESULT. THE CONSUMER'S SON HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND WISHED TO TAKE VEHICLE AWAY FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE FELT THEY WERE DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER AGREED TO FIX THE RECALL BUT FIRST THEY WANTED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE AS THE CONSUMER SMELLED SOMETHING ODD AND PULLED OVER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE HOOD WAS RAISED. AND A SMALL FIRE CAME FROM THE FUEL RAIL. A BYSTANDER PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH HIS HAND, AND THE CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. *AK

Oct 13, 1999

AIRCONDITIONER STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR AND SMELLED TERRIBLE.. HAD IT CHECKED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WOULD COST , ESTIMATED FIVEHUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR.(EVAPORATOR CRACK , AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ..

Jul 12, 1999

THE AIR CONDITIONER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED EVAPORATOR COIL. I QUESTIONED HOW AN EVAPORATOR COIL COULD FAIL, SINCE IN MY EXPERIENCE HAVING OWNED MORE THAN 80 VEHICLES I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN EVAPORATOR COIL JUST FAILING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE EVAPORATOR COIL ARE SUBJECT TO CORROSION AND RAPID FAILURE WHEN THE SYSTEM IS CHARGED WITH R-134 REFRIGERANT. THOSE SYSTEMS THAT FAILED PRIOR TO REACHING 70,000 MILES WERE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPONENTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY FAILED. THOSE OF US WHO HAD THESE FAILURES OCCUR AFTER THE 70,000 MILE CUTOFF ARE FACED WITH APPROXIMATELY $1,000 IN REPAIR COSTS. THE REALLY TERRIBLE PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY FAIL AGAIN WITHIN 2 YEARS AND THERE IS NO BETTER COMPONENT AVAILABLE TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE TO CHRYSLER, RATHER ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AFTER SWITCHING TO THE NEW REFRIGERANTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN DUPED AGAIN.

Dec 15, 1998

HAD A FUNGUS GROWTH ON EVAPORATOR COIL. THIS CAUSED A MANURE LIKE ODOR WHENEVER THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON. *AK

Apr 12, 2002

THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT, INBOARD SEAT-TRACK IS BROKEN. THIS CAUSES THE INBOARD SIDE TO BE LOOSE. THE INBOARD SEAT ASSY CAN MOVE SEVERAL INCHES UP/DOWN. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE ONE DESCRIBED IN A CHRYSLER "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION" WHERIN THE INBOARD PIVOT BRACKET WAS TO BE REPLACED ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. IN WHAT MAY BE A RELATED PROBLEM THE FORE/AFT POWER SEAT MOTOR IS EITHER BURNED OUT OR DEFECTIVE. IN SHORT, THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT TRACK ASSY. IS DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. THE DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT STATES THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT TRACK ASSY. MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $450 OR SO IN PARTS ALONE. IN THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS UNSTABLE AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR DESIGN, I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE GROUNDS FOR A RECALL AND NO COST REPAIR. IN ADDITION, BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEAT TRACKS HAVE HAD 6 INCH PLASTIC GUIDES BREAK AND COME LOOSE FROM THE TRACK ASSY. THIS CAUSES THE SEATS TO BE MILDLY UNSTABLE AND LOOSE.

MY TIRES WOULDNT MOVE AFTER THAT. THE STEERIING WHEEL WOULD MOVE BUT MY TIRES WOULDNT. I HAD TO PAY $150 TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A AN AUTO SHOP ($50), HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED($70), AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK($50). THE AUTO SHOP TOLD ME THAT TWO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE TIE RODS TO THE RACK AND PINION HAD SNAPED IN HALF. THEY WANTED $820 TO FIX IT. I HAD THEM TOW IT BACK TO MY PARKING SPOT. I TOOK THE RACK AND PINION OUT MYSELF AND GOT THE BOLTS OUT. I AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE HAD LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE. SHE FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW PEOPLE. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO OWNES A 1994 DODGE INTREPID. MY FRIEND SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIS CAR. HE WAS DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO HIM, HE LOST CONTROL OF HIS CAR AND WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. MY WIFE FOUND A STORY OF A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT ENDED UP TAKING THE LIVES OF THERE 18 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND HER BOYFRIEND. I COULDNT FIND A RECALL FOR IT ON YOUR WEBSITE. I DONT KNOW IF YOU OR THE COMPANY'S WHO HAVE BUILT THESE CARS KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM. IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED IF IT WERE INVESTAGAED. BEFORE IT TAKES ANYMORE LIVES.

IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS. TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, JUST A LOUD BANG THEN LIKE IT DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL. THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR WAS REPLACED IN 1995 BY A PRIOR OWNER AND AGAIN BY ME IN 1998. THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR FAILED IN 1999. I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A PARTIAL REPAIR HISTORY OF A PRIOR OWNER WHICH SHOWS WORK WAS DONE BETWEEN DECEMBER 96 AND SEPTEMBER 97 THAT INCLUDES 3 REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND 2 REPAIRS TO THE AIR CONDITIONING. I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND STUCK, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND I LOST SPEED QUICKLY IN THE OUTER LANE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, THE DEALER SAYS THE CAB MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OTHER NUMEROUS PROBLEMS INCLUDE DIM HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE DRIVER'S WINDOW PROPERLY, REPLACED BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS TWICE, ILL FITTING TRIM INSIDE, A/C LEAKS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, RATTLES OVER ROUGH ROADS THAT THE DEALER CAN'T FIND AND INSUFFICIENT WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAY JUST TO NAME A FEW. CHRYSLER HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH QUALITY.

MY SON HAS A 1993 CONCORDE, AND HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING. VIBRATION IN STEERING, AND TO MUCH PLAY. WHEN HE INFORMED ME OF THE PROBLEM HE WAS HAVING, I TOLD HIM TO TURN HIS STEERING WHEEL, THEN HE TURNED IT THE OTHER WAY, BOTH TIE RODS LOOKED ODD. I TOLD HIM DON'T TAKE THE CAR FAR. AFTER HE LEFT, I NOTICED ODD MARKS LEFT IN THE DIRT IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE, LEFT LARGER AND HEAVIER IMPRINT THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS, AND FOUND THIS HTTP://WWW.DAIMLERCHRYSLERVEHICLEPROBLEMS.COM. AS I WAS READING THE INFORMATION I WAS AMAZED, THEN READING FURTHER I NOTICED THEY EXPLAIN THE PROBLEMS AND WHAT HAPPENS. GRANTED THE CAR HAS 135,000 MILES ON IT, IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD A PROBLEM AND HAD IT FIXED OR BAND AIDED ADD ANOTHER 65,000 MILES TO A PROBLEM THAT ALREADY EXISTS, IT WOULD BE TIME TO FIX AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE CAR HAS OTHER ISSUES, BESIDES THE STEERING, THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY MOST OF THE CHRYSLERS AT THE YOU PULL IT YARD I WAS AT WHERE HEAVENLY DAMAGED IN THE FRONT, AND HEAD ON. IF YOUR STEERING FAILS, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE HOLD ON, HOPE FOR THE BEST, TILL YOU HIT SOMETHING HEAD ON, OR SOMEONE HITS YOU. I HAVE HAD SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY SON, HE BECAME HEAVILY ADDICTED TO HEROIN, IT TOOK ME 2 YEARS TO GET HIM TO GET THE HELP HE NEEDED. HE WENT TO A FAITH BASED REHAB, HE COMPLETED THE PROGRAM AND CAME HOME OCTOBER 2006. HE WORKED ALL YEAR TO SAVE UP FOR A CAR, THIS GAVE HIM A GREAT BOOST, THAT HE ACCOMPLISHED HIS GOAL. I GUESS I AM LUCKY THAT I KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT CARS, AND MY SON IS ABLE TO TALK WITH ME ABOUT HIS ISSUES WITH THE CAR, SO NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT YET. BELIEVE ME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY SON, WHILE HE IS DRIVING THIS CAR, AND I FIND OUT IT IS BECAUSE OF THE STEERING PROBLEMS, THAT THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER KNEW ABOUT.. THEY THINK THEY ARE SAVING MONEY, ATTORNEYS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THEN PARTS. *JB

ON 09/11/03 I PURCHASED A USED 1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE LOW FUEL GAUGE AND AIRBAG LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON, ND MY TANK IS AT LEAST HALF FULL ALL THE TIME. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND WHEN THEY DO, IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SOMETIMES STALL AND JERK VIOLENTLY AS IF I'VE BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR AND GAS FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH PRIVATE MECHANICS AND EXPLAINED IT TO THEM BUT NOONE COULD FIND ANY PROBLEM. I RECENTLY FOUND A WEBSITE LISTING PERSONS WITH SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS I'VE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND FIND IT AMAZING THAT WE HAVEN'T ALL BECOME A FATALITY BECAUSE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE A HOOD THAT WON'T STAY UP, A TRUNK THAT SOMETIMES OPENS BY ITSELF, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES OFF AND THE HEATER COMES ON AT FULL SPEED, ACCELERATION WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARKING TO DRIVE AND ON AND ON. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEMS COME WITH USED CARS BUT SOME OF THESE ISSUSES WERE THERE WHEN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW AND WAS RECALLED. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME I WILL HAVE SOME OF THESE ISSUES IN WIRTING AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN GIVE ME A BETTER ANSWER THAN. *AK "I FOUND NOTHING" (EXCEPT MY MONEY). BEFORE THIS CAR I DROVE A 1994 PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM WHICH I BOUGHT IN 1995. IT SERVED ME REALLY WELL FOR 8 YEARS WITH ME DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO MY HOMETOWN IN MISSISSIPPI, SOMETIMES TWICE A YEAR. THE ADJUSTMENTS MADE ON IT WERE NORMAL FOR WEAR AND TEAR AFTER THAT LONG, AND IT DID MAKE SOME OF THE SAME NOISES AS THE CONCORDE, BUT I DON'T THINK I'LL BE BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE AFTER I TRADE THIS ONE. I PRAY THAT IT DOESN'T CATCH FIRE OR BLOW UP BEFORE I CAN.

1. FUEL LEAKS FROM INJECTOR ONTO ENGINE (FIRE HAZARD) 2. IGNITION SWITCH CRANKS ENGINE WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY TO THE START POSITION. 3. LOUD SCREECHING NOISE COMES FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE IN PARK AND NEUTRAL, THIS IS THE SAME NOISE THE CAR MAKES WHEN CRANKING THE ENGINE. SOUNDS AS IF THE STARTER IS HANGING ON SOMETHING (LIKE THE FLYWHEEL OR SOMETHING). I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT DO HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK
