2.7 engine in chrysler concorde just blew with 70,000 miles on vehicle. 4 separate mechanics stated that chrysler had many, many issues with the 2.7 engine. Oil was changed regularly and all fluids were at correct levels. No reason for engine to completely fail with such low mileage. Complete engine replacement to get vehicle up and running again. I believe this is a defective engine which is now costing me $1000's of dollars to repair. There are no events leading up to failure. Engine made noise for 1 day, I parked it, and 3 days later it would not start. Had mechanic checking and replacing starter, battery, etc. Finally determined the engine blew. As of today, the engine has not been replaced. Vehicle is currently parked.

My car's performance had suffered a little. I was coming up on 60000 miles and decided to get some routine maintenance done. That was on aug 13th, 2005. I went to start the car and it would not start. It worked fine the day before. I had it towed to a midas repair shop and they told me that it is a jumped timing issue. Basically it is an internal engine problem and they cannot fix it. I am having it looked at by another auto shop now to verify.

Check engine light keeps coming on and the vehicle will not start. This happens intermittently. However, the check engine light stays on. Consumer was told that vehicle would be taken to the chrysler, but consumer thought that the used car dealer where the vehicle was purchased was running a scam because as long as they've had the vehicle the problem still existed.
