What 1998 Chrysler Concorde owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving 36 MPH engine failed. As a result, power steering malfunctioned. The cause has yet to be determined.
Inner tie rod bushings on vehicle had to be replaced three times. *mr the dealer suggested that was normal. There was also a loose feeling in the steering on all turns. *sc
Vehicle was taken to the dealer for a routine inspection, and mechanic determined that rack and pinion steering broke, and needed to be replaced.
While driving noticed a noise coming from front end of vehicle,and vehicle was swaying. Dealer has been contacted. And indicated that rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced. Provide further information.
Power steering rack is worn, causing steering to be loose and noisy, consumer states the chrysler service center did not tend to or acknowledge the problem while the vehicle is under warranty.
Power assist belt has broken 5 times in last 3 years.
After taking vehicle in for an alignment I was informed by mechanic that there was a problem with "right power steering rack mounting bushings" and the "lower control arm" was making a noise. He said it would cost approx. $1400.00 to correct this problem. This vehicle was well amintained and driven properly at all times. This seems a bit strange that a vehicle less than 4 years old, not driven abusively would have such a major expense repair.
There is a crunching noise coming from underneath the vehicle while turning left, the power steering rack was found to be defective, dealer would not replace even though vehicle had low mileage, consumer paid for replacement costs.
Car pulls to the left upon slowing down to a stop, driving on bumpy terrain and freeway conditions. Car has beeen in 4 times for repairs such as complete rebuild of rack and pinion, rotation of tires and alignment. Problem still exists. Steering wheel comes to rest turned left and will not "bounce back" to center after manuvering a left turn. Steering wheel does come back to center after negotiating a right turn.
