The car head lights & dash lights dim when driving. If you play with control switch it sometimes makes them work right. Car stalls and doesn't want to restart. We have done the recall for exhaust. The A/C all the sudden started making noises when stalling and now does not work makes a hissing sound. I have kept this car in great shape and have it maintained & serviced regularly. I have had several sensors replaced and the engine light refuses to go off. I put it in the shop and they said it was because gas cap was loose. That wasn't the case, car is now sitting in driveway unable to start. Had the heads removed and fuel injectors cleaned and car still won't run.

On our second engine now. The second engine is now doing the same as the first before it quit. The check engine light is now on and no one can seem to tell me why the car keeps stalling while driving at a variety of different speeds and conditions. When it stalls the car is still partially on. The power steering goes out and I can not accelerate but there are still a couple of lights on the display the same ones that turn on when you turn the key half way forward. I think the electrical is still on but the engine is off. Does that make sense? I am not a mechanic, but they can't figure it out either so I guess that wouldn't help! The check engine light code refers to the catalytic converter, but I have been told that it is fine. This is a concorde lxi actually should be called pos instead of lxi. We have replaced the cam sensors, the cam shaft, battery, alternator, battery cables, the transmission, and the engine. It still quits several times a month. This all began before the warranty went out, it paid to replace the first cam sensor. This was my first car and I didn't know what to do after the warranty wore out. I still don't know what to do. Mechanics tell me to get a new car I can't afford one.

My 2003 concorde shut off on me while driving to work on 695 expressway. The engine light came on and I stared to lose power. On 06/30/08 quickly I put my car into neutral and it started back up and continue to work but would not go pass 60 MPH. Lucky for me there was no heavy traffic or I could have been seriously hurt. There was no sign that the car was going to lose power as soon as the light pop on the car started to lose power. I took the car to a dealership for service and at that time they told me that it was a shorted upstream 02 sensor . I parked the car and did not drive the car until 09/27/08 to the dealership the car was repaired. On 09/29/08 after driving the car for 12 miles the light then pop back on again and the same thing happen it shut off while I was driving. I took the car back to the dealership at this time they told me there was a code that came during the test stated that the cat converter internal was defective and the down stream 02 sensor. I had that replaced. On 10/02/08 after that repair I drove another 24 miles this time and as usual the light pop back on again but this time the car sound as if it was in neutral or different shift and would not pick up speed with a roaring loud noise. I then pull over to the shoulder and turn the car off and then back on again and it continue to drive normal. Engine light constantly stayed on. I returned the car back to the dealership for repair at this time they said a different code appear and said the p0420,po430 and they order a ed cat converter and now the left upstream 02 sensor. Which they had already replaced the right converter and both sensors now they are working on the left. Car was repaired on 10/06/08 after that repair I drove the car to work and on the way home the engine light pop back on for the third time, took the car back to the dealership and now the code say po600 and the PCM and solenoid was programmed and replaced. Now I have to get up at 6am to take the car back.

I am the original owner of chrysler concorde 2000, with a 2.7 engine. I have only used the dealer for all maintenance work and the car in no longer under the 7 years, 70,000 mile extended warranty. I have followed all maintenance for the car. On august 14, the engine light came and the engine performed erratically and I had the car towed to my chrysler dealer. They called, without specifically pinpointing the problem, and indicated that the engine would probably have to be replaced due to loss of pressure in one of the valves and that the engine would probably have to be replaced at a cost of almost $8,000. It cost $250 for that estimate. I had the car towed to a second auto repair shop and they stated the engine had major piston damage in the valve and a rebuild engine was the only option. They also indicated this engine had long term and well known problems of failure due to engine sludge. A review of numerous web sites indicates hundreds and hundreds of such complaints and chrysler pointing the car owners as responsible instead of being held accountable. The web sites indicated the engine was discontinued by chrysler within 2 years but no notification was ever made to current owners of the possibility of the problem occurring. I am extremely fortunate, that the engine failure did not occur while driving on my normal commute in a car pool on the interstate. Any assistance that you can provide to hold chrysler accountable would be greatly appreciated

Electrical system, engine, transmission problems. Our 2004 chrysler concorde lxi has developed many problems over the past 2 years, I will try to list them here. We have had many events of false readings from the brain of the car according to our mechanic. The check engine light comes on as does the oil and transmission light. There has been many times that the car has just cut off at different stages in driving. We have been in stop and go traffic, or going down a city street, or driving down the highway, or just come to a stop light, or just making a turn after slowing down. So as you can see the speeds that the car cuts off varies from 0 to 5 and from 5 to 40 and from 40 to 70 miles per hour. This car has sputtered, jerked, spewed black smoke, ran so rough that we thought it would shake apart. We have had to pull over to the side of the road so many times because the car cut off, that is if it would make it to the side of the road. Sometimes it takes from 5 minutes to 45 minutes before the car will re crank again. We have had the car serviced regularly as it should be by certified mechanics. They have put the diagnostics machine on it so many times and the readings are always false according to them, because if it were a true reading the car wouldn't be running at all. We have been so lucky that no one has been injured or killed so far because of these problems. Because we have had so many close collisions because of these problems, I am afraid for my wife who has to drive this car to work. I can only pray that something can be done about these problems before someone is injured or god forbid even killed !!!
