I have several rather expensive failing items on my car including recurring issues: had to replace the r/p steering at 65,000 miles steering rack had excessive play at the 'neutral' or straight position; the molding around all doors has pulled away from the body of the car; rear door locks need to be replaced due to electrical problem; left taillight gasket leaks has ruined interior of the car; plastic trim at the base of my windshield is flapping in the wind; replaced stabilizer bar ends; engine coolant outlet housing was replaced due to a leak from the vent fitting - and to date I have at least 3 more things we have to look at before I can sell this heep.
2000 Chrysler Concorde steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While turning,the steering wheel locked up temporarily. The shop mechanic determined that problem pertained to the steering rack. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *ak the steering loss was intermittent over a period of two days. The steering wheel was loose and would lock up at times. *sc
During 4 yrs of ownership, I am experiencing the worst. I just had my rack and pinion replaced after steering wheel would not return or would lock in place after making a turn left or right and feeling as though the chassis was falling out from underneath my car. I was also told that I will need my stabilizer bar replaced after complaining about erratic shaking sometimes severe when making a stop whether coming off the highway or driving on a street. It has gotten pretty bad lately. I have not been in any accident since purchasing my car custom ordered. Last year I had to have my actuators in all doors except driver side replaced due to malfunction. Wasn't able to open by remote or manually except when I pushed the remote first then lifted lock manually. I have had my door rubbers replaced 2 yrs after ownership and they need to be replaced again because they have pulled from frame. Rubber around lights have pulled away also which gives the car a very 'cheap' look.
Consumer complained about a steering problem. While driving 10 MPH and turning vehicle to the left it lost steering power and it would not turn left.
While pulling into a parking lot steering mechanism broke. Consumer tried to restart vehicle. Consumer had vehicle towed to the dealer for analysis, and mechanic confirmed that the main bolt connected to rack and pinion sheared off. Mechanic replaced the rack and pinion and the bolts. *ak
While driving power steering failed. This was caused by a failure in the rack and pinion steering gear which must be replaced, per the dealership.
When the steering wheel was turned, there was a clicking noise.
The steering wheel was difficult to turn.
Rack and pinion steering was making a rattling noise and then it felt as if the power steering went out, but only in one direction. The dealer said the whole left rack had to be replaced. The vehicle had 47,000 miles and was three years old.
The steering gear and struts needed to be replaced.
Contacted the dealer several months ago about rattling/loose sounds under car and they claimed to not find anything, but this could be related to the rack & pinion issue since it failed soon after.
Consusmer is hearing a noise from underneath vehicle. Consumer assumes it may be the tie rod. Consumer has been to the dealer twice, but they haven't found anything wrong. *ak the dealer replaced the mount, insulator for front suspension and bearing-suspension strut.
