I had bought a 2000 chrysler concorde in 2001. The car had been acting funny. The oil light came on during stops, the engine would rev up without my pushing the accelerator, the engine was knocking. I took the car to my regular mechanic & paid for repairs that did not solve the problem. Then, soon after I took the car to a chrysler dealership repair service and they replaced the camsensor. It seemed to correct the problems. About 6 weeks later all of the problems returned. I immediately stopped driving the vehicle except when I drove it back to the service center at the dealership the next morning. They replaced the camsensor again. The next day, my engine froze and now needs to be replaced. It was not under warranty. Therefore, niether chrysler nor the dealership will take responsibility for my loss.

I have a 2000 chrysler concord that has needed repeated work. Some has been fixed and others not. My first complaint to them was the heater not cooling. Of course it always worked when the dealership looked at it. I have had the paint touched two times over the driver's door on the roof, the seal will stay around the head lights. The trunk leaked and had to be repaired. The oil light came on at random times and the car overheated on the 4th of july and again three weeks later. The dealership replaced an oil send receive sensor on the car but could not get it to overheat and told me to bring it back on a hot day. On august 8, 2003 I brought it back to the dealership hot and they have had it every since then. The car continues to overheat, yet they will not call it a lemon. I need a car to drive and I am making payments on something that I do not even have.
