What owners say
My wife was driving our 1995 chrysler concorde when she lost total steering control while making a left hand turn causing car to go over curb damaging a sign at the warren public library and significant damage to the car. Upon inspection, it has been found that the tie rod linkage into the rack and pinion had broken off.
1995 chrysler concorde with approximately 122,000 miles became unsafe to drive due to excessive play in the steering/an inability to control the car. The dealer identified the problem as inner tie rod bushings. Within the same week, the driver's seat belt came unbolted from the car.

1995 chrysler concorde steering failure. Replaced tie rods twice. Driving was a safety hazard because of lack of steering control.
Inner tie rod bushings failed in 2000. Dealers refused to replace under ext. Warranty. Now 4 years later, they are worn out again and require replacement.
Bolts to gear box/ tie rod keep shearing off. Had been replaced three times. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
Outer tie rod replaced 02/01after noticing severe handling problem. Inner tie rod replaced 05/01 after noticing different,but equally sever handling problem. Mechanics said this is a common problem on this model as well as dodge intrepid.d.
At first inside tie rod rubbers wore out, always made noise most time in cold weather,then right side outer rod end pulled out causing lose of steering,if you look at it ,it is rusted away the threads that is.
Steering was uncontrollable due to a defective tie rod as a result of a design flaw.
While having new tires installed on the car the mechanic found the left outer tie rod end worn out. Due to the milage on the car I feel this is premature. In checking your site I am finding stistemic problems with this car and like cars (ie dodge intrepid) also for the model years of 1993,1994,1995. The three major areas I found are air conditioning, steering/ linkages, and transmission which I have the same type of problems with my car. I have reported the air conditioner and the transmission to you a couple of days ago.
Left tie rod end pulled the holddown bolt out of the gear assembly, leading to a complete seperation of the left tie rod from the rack and pinion gear. The rack and pinion gear and both front tie rods were replaced.
