What 1993 Chrysler Concorde owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dt: consumer bought (1993 chrysler concorde five months ago. Took it to dmv, and noticed that there were less miles on it than was originally told. Then ,consumer realized that the odometer was going backwards. Went back to the dealer, and they told consumer that the dmv told them that after 10 years the miles on a vehicle did not matter. Also, they told the consumer that the best they could do was put in a new odometer, and simply set it for the amount of miles that they had told the consumer was there in the first place.
Chrysler concorde 1993 cruise control engages without being activated. On may 13, 2004, the cruise control was disconnected and the same thing happened:the cruise light came on and the car hesitates and shudders. After a second or two, the light goes off.
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.
