- 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 1995 Chrysler Concorde owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My vehicle does not change into second gear. I found out while I was in heavy traffic and became a hazard to other drivers. When in reverse, it has a "clunk" noise when the gas is applied. The problem came all of a sudden without warning. There are also computer and ignition problems with this vehicle. It sounds like there is crackling in the dashboard when the heater is on, the ignition switch cannot be turned all the way to the on position when the car is on or the ABS light will come on and prevents function of the heater.
Dt: contact states the gear shift is hard to put into gear. There is a grinding noise coming from the motor. A mechanic said the gears broke and the transmission had to be rebuilt. Consumer did have the transmission rebuilt. The consumer did not have the purchase date or the dealer information available.
Recall did not resolve the problem with the fuel rail o ring and numerous other expenditures after their repair. *bf the service the consumer received did not correct the problem he was having. The consumer was not able to shut off the engine because the transaxle floor shifter would not go into the park position. The problem created transmission problems. The consumer would like to be reimbursed for money spent on repairs. *tc *jb the consumer stated when he drives over a bump in the road the gear shift would pop out of drive and into neutral. The water pump was leaking and the gaskets were replaced. The air condition was inoperative, the problem was determined to be short in a wire
The transmission was making a popping noise while changing gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for repairs but the problem recurred. *ak there was overheating and the power brake was delayed.
Consumer stated that ever since she had her vehicle, she experienced numerous problems. She stated that she had to replace the engine, and the transmission. She also stated that now she it needed another transmission. Also, she was told by her mechanic that the crank shift is going bad. Currently she isn't driving the vehicle.
The automatic tranmission floor shifter ignition-park interlock has completly malfunction on this car, for my own saftey and the saftey of others I cannot drive it when the inter-lock is drive it starts rolling backwards when I stop at a traffic light I feels this could be very dangerous.
The floor shifter slips out of gear by the slightest touch. The dealer has been contacted. A small child is able to knock shifter out of gear. Please describe further.
We are now about to put in our 3rd 95 cirrus transmission and 2nd 95 concorde transmission and feel that chrysler should pay for the cost of repairs. I have shelled out nearly $12,000 between the two cars in the last 6 years for repeated failures in engines, water pumps, steering assembly failures, transmissions, brake systems, radios, air conditioners, fuel rails, alternators and computer PCM's to name a few. By far the worst quality cars and highest cost of ownership of any cars I have owned in the last 30 years. Something major goes wrong with these cars every few months.
We bought the car & 2 months later, transmission goes out.
