| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAS ALWAYS HAD REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND HAS ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR SIX MONTHS. THE DEALER DISASSEMBLED THE ENGINE AND FOUND FAILURE WITH AN ENGINE SLUG. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S ISSUE. THE # OF CYLINDERS WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 70,776 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. |
| 1998 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | REAR BRAKES IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED BY MANUFACTURER, RESULTING IN FRONT BRAKES OVERLOADING AND WARPING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. DEALER ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES AND REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. SINCE THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTLY, I ASSUME THAT CHRYSLER (NOW DAIMLER/CHRYSLER) IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A 1997 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WHICH HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES. VERY DISCONCERTING TO HAVE SUCH A SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM WITH A CAR COSTING UPWARDS OF $25,000. |
