THE CONSUMER WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING A RECALL FIXED ON HIS VEHICLE. *JB THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY THE RECALL COULD BE FIXED IS IF THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN BEFORE 7:00AM. RECALL CAMPAIGN#04V021000. *SC *JB

THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PUSHED.*JB
Mar 03, 2003
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
24 complaints
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
13 complaints
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. IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *NM

I BELIEVE THE FAILURE EXISTED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SIERRA MOTORS IN APRIL OF 2000 BUT I WAS UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE IT AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAD THE CAR IN ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT DUE TO FUEL LINE FAILURE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE UNDERCARRIAGE WHILE THEY WERE AT IT AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE LONGER I HAD THE CAR, THE WORSE IT GOT UNTIL I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK AND TOLD THEM IT SEEMS TO WALK WHEN I DRIVE IT AND SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE CAR. THIS TIME THEY DID FIND IT BUT THEY SAID IT DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT. MY DAUGHTER FOUND A RECALL ON THE 1994 CONCORD FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO FIND OUT WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED AND WHAT I CAN DO TO GET IT INCLUDED. THANK YOU. JEANETTE YARBROUGH. *AK

THE TRUNK LID ON THIS VEHICLE WILL SUDDEN DROP ON YOUR HEAD. IT HAS HIT ME SEVERAL TIMES. NO WARNING. IT CAN BE IN THE UP POSITION WHILE I AM UNLOADING MY GROCERIES AND THEN SUDDENLY "BANG!" I GET SOCKED BY THIS TRUNK LID. THE HOOD WILL NOT STAY UP EITHER BUT IT DOESNT SUDDENLY DROP JUST GOES DOWN AND WONT STAY UP. I WARN THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WHEN THEY CHECK MY OIL TO BE CAREFUL OR THEY COULD GET INJURED. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE TRUNK OR THE HOOD. THE DEALER SAYS ITS ABOUT $300.00 TO FIX BOTH. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WHICH THE TRUNK FELL ON ME OR THE HOOD WILL NOT STAY UP.

GAS STRUTS SUPPORT THE HOOD WHEN RAISED ON THIS VEHICLE, IN LIEU OF THE MORE TRADITIONAL SPRINGS OR PROP. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE CAR MOVES FROM A MODERATE TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT TO A COLD ENVIRONMENT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF SERVICE, THESE GAS STRUTS WILL NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD, WHICH THEN FALLS ON THE DRIVER'S HEAD AS HE CHECKS THE OIL, CAUSING LACERATIONS AND POTENTIALLY A CONCUSSION OR OTHER SERIOUS INJURY. THE TRANSMISSION, WITH AGE, IN VERY COLD WEATHER, CAN REFUSE TO SHIFT INTO A FORWARD GEAR AFTER BACKING THE CAR OUT ONTO A ROADWAY, CAUSING A MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROPENSITY SHOULD TRIGGER A RECALL BY CHRYSLER TO FORECLOSE SERIOUS INJURIES AND ACCIDENTS. *AK

VEHICLE WAS IN DEALER FOR REPAIRS OF UNRELATED COMPONENT WHEN I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THERE WAS A TEAR IN THE FRAME RAIL. INSPECTING THE TEAR IT AT ONE OF THE LEFT SIDE AREA ADJACENT TO WHERE THE CRADLE ASSEMBLY BOLTS TO THE FRAME RAIL. COMPARING THE FAILED RAIL TO THE RIGHT HAND RAIL IT APPEARS A REINFORCING CHANNEL THAT SHOULD BE INSIDE THE FRAME RAIL TO DISTRIBUTE THE LOADS FROM THE CRADLE ASSEMBLY IS MISSING. VEHICLE HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED IN JULY 1998, AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS INSPECTED IN JAN 1999. FAILURE APPEARS TO BE A FATIGUE TYPE AS IT IS RAGGED AND HAS FAILED SOME OF THE FRAME RAIL WELDS. CHRSLER'S AREA REP HAS SUPPOSEDLY LOOKED AT IT AND I WAS TOLD HE SAID THAT IT COULD NOT BE A FACTORY DEFECT OR IT WOULD HAVE FAILED LONG BEFORE NOW. CAR WAS DRIVEN VERY LIGHTLY UNTIL AROUND SEPT 1996 AND SINCE THEN HAS BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE IS STILL SITTING AT THE DEALERS AS THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, REGARDLESS OF WHO PAYS FOR THE REPAIR. *AK

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 MOTOR WENT OUT, AND THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT. ALSO A SEAT RAIL BROKE AND CHRYSLER ALSO REFUSED TO FIX THAT. TO SUM THINGS UP, THIS WAS THE FIRST CHRYSLER PRODUCT THAT I HAD EVER PURCHASED AND IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST. *LA
