I put car in reverse in parking lot and it lunged forward at full throttle with tires smoking, sideswipping one vehicle and pushed parked 2nd vehicle 30 ft into parking lot isle. My foot never left the brake pedal (used to shift), and brakes were useless in trying to stop the car. After hitting the second car (totalling it) got car stopped by slamming gear shift lever into park. This is the 3rd instance of this happening in the milwaukee area that is known to us. Substancial injuries were incurred in second instance where car when through garage door with severe facial injuries. The 3rd car went through a window of a business. All 3 were 1999 chrysler products. Chrysler refuses to accept any blame for the accident and sent us a form letter saying the car was okay when it left the factory. Our car was a chrysler concorde lxi, the 2nd a chrysler lhs, and the 3rd a dodge neon.
1999 Chrysler Concorde brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brakes continuously lock, which causes tires to lock and the car skids and pitches forward. Our door locks are broken and the bottom portion of the back seat is coming out from the floor. When we purchased the car, we asked the salesperson (tim white) if the car was in good condition and if this was a rental car. He said" it had one owner." when I repeated this to the manager last week, he said it did. He stated that the owner was the rental company in florida. Then I pointed out to the manager that one owner did not mean one driver. With it being a rental car it has had many drivers some not so careful as others. If I had been inforrmed of the cars true history and condition, I would never have purchased this automobile. *ak( dot number: )
