1999 Chrysler Concorde transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Air conditioning continually goes out. As car has expired warranty, chrysler says they have no obligation to repair. I disagree. I believe that chrysler, and in my particular situation, has a faulty A/C system.
While diving consumer vehicle shifted from 1st to 2nd gear.
While driving at any speed and when shifting from first to second gear vehicle stalled. Consumer had a certified mechanic check the vehicle, and was told that transmission needed to be replaced.
While driving at 50 MPH, the gear slipped out of drive and into another gear vehicle. *ak
Transmission input sensor failed on my 1999 chrysler concorde lxi with 25,000+ miles causing the transmission to abruptly down shift causing vehicle to over rev engine which caused an abrupt slowdown which could have caused a rear end collision or a loss of control. Part id # is 4800878. Since my failure I have heard of 2 other failures just from people I've talked to. This is a problem chrysler is aware of. They should be held accountable for any accident which this failure contributes to. A safety recall should be initiated. Just for info this repair cost me $161.87. Pretty steep for a known problem!
I own a 1999 chrysler concorde lxi. I have had numerous problems with this car since I have owned it. Lot of little things. Window motors, cooling fan, transmission overspeed sensor, and the list goes on. Now the air conditioner is going out, having to service it about every 2 months. Why I am writing though is the steering. Seems like it is going bad. I feel this is a safety issue and read many complaints on your web site concerning this. Why hasn't a recall been ordered for this and the speed up issue?
Transmission will not shift into 3rd gear.
While traveling highway speed, the automatic transmission down shifted abruptly with no warning. The owner was able to coast down a ramp onto a side street. The cause stated by a mechanic was that the torque converter destroyed itself. Tsthe motor that operates the drivers side window failed. An electrical component failed causing the battery to discharge. Consumer has been refused any compensation for the failure of the torque convertor.
Vehicle was lacking power while driving then lost power. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that tramsmission needed to be replaced. Feel free to provide any further information.
While driving 60-65 MPH, transmission would not shift, then, there was a loud noise, and vehicle started to slowdown. Consumer was able to coast to shoulder. Towed to independent shop, transmission had to be replaced. 2 days prior, vehicle had been taken to dealer for problems with transmission, when in park it would roll, and when in drive it felt like it was in neutral. Dealer stated there was nothing wrong with transmission and it was safe to drive.*ak
While driving and upon turning ignition off, without the key in the ignition, gears moved. *ak consumer states shift does not lock in park when key was removed.
Sensor on automatic transmission failed for second time. In each case, while at speeds in excess of 40 MPH, car downshifted hard and in most recent episode, stalled in traffic. First replacement of sensor covered under warranty on 9/5/00 at 23,885 miles. Part replaced was 4800878. Second incident took place on 1/25/02 at 45,910 miles. Part replaced shown as 4800879 but service manager at dealership (eddie accardi, pompano beach, fl) indicated he replaced both an input and output sensors (this is not reflected on my invoice however). In each case, failure came on with out any warning. Car is driven by my wife (56 years old) who is an adequate operator. She says in most recent incident, when car downshifted hard, it also stalled in traffic. She had some difficulty restarting the engine, then pulled the car to the side of the road and called me. I drove the vehicle to the dealership at about 30 MPH and 4000 RPM. Check engine light came on, speedometer did not operate. Would not shift to next higher gear. Vehicle stalled each time I stopped for traffic light. Attempts to discuss this with chrysler customer service and service manger at accardi did not receive what I consider, a serious concern for the potential gravity of such a loss of power on the highway. In fact, a "manager" there told my wife and I that these things happen, will happen again and if people die, well that's why chrysler keeps a team of lawyers working.
Clamps on transmission hose that connects to the radiator is leaking transmission fluid onto the front brakes discs. Consumer found out about the problem when trying to put vehicle in reverse, and the vehicle would not move . Contacted dealer, and dealer stated that they were aware of problem, and that clamps have been redesigned for newer models. But, there was nothing that they could do. Please give any further details.
After getting out of vehicle while it was in idle gear went into reverse, and vehicle ran into an embankment before stopping.
Gear shift lever very hard to shift . Originally stuck in drive.
Gear shift lever was almost impossible to shift into park when parking the car. Turned off the motor and could not get the gear shift lever into park in order to start car.
Have received no satisfaction from chrysler. No safety defec tlisted.
