- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
- Risk
- Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

Auto trans ignition-park interlock
The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler?s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, jx and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).the population number includes all mys.the precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.the fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever is shorter).there are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi?s database, and dc has received no reports either.the prowler is excluded from the recall scope.the investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.the interlock system is required under fmvss 114.with the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.when this occurs, there is no overt indication to an operator that the system is defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator?s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.the rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.

What 1993 Chrysler Concorde owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When running down highway car will drop into second gear, dealer cannot fix.
Transmission "neutralizes" when slowing down then "slams" into gear when you start to accelerate.
Chrysler transmission is defective as evidenced by many other entries / complaints. Information gathered from website (defective chrysler transmission). It is unacceptable to allow a major corporation to continually bilk the consumer out of 1000's of dollars. This defect is known by the manufacturer and has even been 'hidden' by the convenient renaming of the transmission.
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.
This car has had 2 transmission failures previously repaired while under warranty. I have notified the dealer of problems getting the car in gear at times and they found no problems. The axle finally broke and the frame ripped which a feel is a direct result of the previous problems. No accidents involved.
Transaxle bracket cracked while traveling at 50 to 60 MPH, causing a loss in power while driving. Also, odor coming from A/C system, caused by microbial growth on the evaporator core, a result of condensation formation during A/C operation, creating an environment suitable for bacterial and fungal growth. Dealer has been contacted. *ak

Transmission needed to be replaced at 53,000 miles due to faulty and poor design of the product.
