I have a 1994 chrysler concorde which has air-bag problem which I was told would cost me $500 to replace a clock spring by bob baker in carlsbad, ca. I refused stating that daimler chrysler should treat that as a drive train defect and replace it. I also had a failure of the steering and paid for that out of pocket.

Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the federal safety agency by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that agencyfurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.in part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(g), the federal safety agency has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge ram series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.if the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation.a review of odi's data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models.therefore, the petition is denied.for details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, july 8, 2003.

What 1994 Chrysler Concorde owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
Steering wheel shakes at high speeds. Took vehicle to mechanic and they stated that tie rod bushing was completely worn out. Dealer was aware of problem. *akchrysler appears to be aware that the front left and right tie rod bushings do not last as normally as they should. The tie rod bushings failure causes a potential loss of steering.
Bolt cap at rod connected to the rack and pinion became unscrewed and fell out. This caused tie rod to become loose, and driver lost steering control while turning into a driveway. Wheel turned sideways. It slid along and into gravel. Vehicle towed to dealership and was repaired.*ak
Right side cylinder of power steering is moving around too much when looking under hood while someone else turns. This creates a problem with main cylinder that causes right wheel to flap all over the place.
Both front tie rods were reported lost from dealer. Should not be driven until repairs were done. Manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under a recall due to VIN. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
Hood won't stay up because prop rod seals are leaking. Nlm
Car started pulling to the left and ABS warning light comes on periodically, upon further inspection I found that both tie rod ends are wore and very sloppy. Chrysler garage said that these are not recall items and that I will have to pay for repairs.
Tie rod on the left front end came apart resulting in loss of steering control, it turned out that a locking mechanism for the inner tie rod ends was missing. Nlm
Nut holding tie rod fell off, causing loss of steering. It was suggested that nut left loose on assembly line
