We smelled gas from the engine area. Upon further inspection noted a leak in the fuel injection system . Gas was dripping every 1 second near the o ring by the outlet fuel rail. Help!. This vehicle is not a 3.5l engine but a 3.3l 1996 chrysler concorde. I know the 3.5l had a recall on this did the 3.3l have one also and noone notice????? Also when you put the floor shifter into gear I.e. Drive, the vehicle does not move forward, or if in reverse that either. Then it jerks into gear almost like the shifter or leavers are not working. I have had this vehicle looked at for transmission problems and that is not the issue. I do believe it may be a shifter issue and then the o ring leaking gas like a dripping faucet.

Stepson was driving car back from toledo ohio area to canton ohio and the engine in the car jerked and then just quit. Car was towed to local dealership and informed this morning that the timing chain had broker and destroyed the engine. After researching this today I find out that there are websites referencing this and many documented cases of this catastrophic failure happening to others. I called chrysler today and I was informed that they could do nothing since the vehicle is out of warranty and that I was not the original owner so chrysler could not establish how well the vehicle was maintained.

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 !!!

At a point about one month ago my car began making a knocking noise, a neighbor told me to check the oil and see if it was low, it was, I filled it and the noise diminished. No light ever came on except briefly on a left hand turn once while driving the car. On christmas day while driving a total of 60 miles my check engine light came on, the car began to stutter and jerk and act very bad once I reduced speed and got off the highway. I took it to the dealer the next day. Today I found out my engine was blown and they are waiting for warranty coverage to approve repairs. My vehicle is a 2000 chrysler concorde. I purchased it the end of october 2006 and it had 82468 miles on it. I drove it for two months and put 2000 miles on it when the engine went.

While driving down I-45 in conroe, texas, my engine sputtered, jerked, and died. As you know when you lose engine power, your steering wheel becomes locked up and its almost impossible to control the car. It has died on me before but on back roads almost home or at an intersection. I didn't realize the seriousness of it until it happened on the freeway and there are people coming up on me doing 70-80 MPH and I am quickly coming to a dead stop.

Our vehicle has stalled on numerous occasions while in motion. This is unsafe, and could possibly result in an accident, since when the vehicle stalls there is no power steering after the vehicle stalls. Sometimes the rpms drop down to near zero and the cruise control light comes on before it stalls. Occasionally the vehicle does not completely stall, and the engine recovers, resulting in a strong jerk. Also occasionally the car just jerks noticeably to strongly while driving. This has been going on noticeably for a few months, and we have had numerous repairs to our vehicle that have (potentially falsely) been diagnosed. None of these repairs have seemed to affect the stalling and jerking problems. The date given is the date of our most serious stalling events. It stalled several times that day while I was driving.
