Chrysler Concorde transmission failure problems

Transmission failure, I read that chrysler had a recall on transmissions for the 95 chrysler concorde, due to shifting problems, my 95 chrysler concorde, drove fine and then suddenly stopped, if I shut off the engine, then restart it, it will drive, until it tries to shift to second then it will not drive anymore, at all, until I shut it off and then restart it, then it will immediately drive again. I was told by a mechanic that it is most likely a solenoid shift pack, which was recalled by chrysler.

I went to credit cars to purchase a vehicle kind-of last minute. Their salesman "alfredo" told me I needed some one to sign for "job liability." I told him I did not have nor want a co-signer. He assurred my friend/job liability signer, candace gulick, that she would not be a co-signer. We later found out that he lied. When I drove my car off the lot, credit cars and I had an agreement to fix the non-operating gages. They attempted to fix them 4 times.(1 at credit cars, 3 at cal-rich automotive) after 4 attempts and no luck, thomas from credit cars told me to fix the 2 problems with my own money, and because it was electrical he didn't have to fix it. We had an agreement before I bought the car. (the 2nd problem was I opened my sunroof once and it never closed again.) because of the sunroof not closing my upholstery molded and was ruined. I decided to take a trip a couple of hundred miles away and the transmission went out 10/15/2004 and left me stranded. This was only after having the car for almost 2mos. I had a pre-paid lawyer service write them a letter and all I received were harrassing phone calls at my last job. I spent almost $700.00 of my own money to try and get home when the "new" car left me stranded. Mind you that I am a 21yr old female and I was alone.

The transmission on a 1998 chrysler concord is malfunctioning. First I was told it was one part, the speed sensor. Then the same problem occured. This time I was told that the solonid pack needed to be replaced. Now my entire transmission needs to be replaced after spending money to repair piece by piece. Also, my car is over heating. I have taken it to the dealer 4 different times and the problem had not been resolved. I have paid over $2000 in payments and my car is not working.

I have had more problems with this chrysler than any car I have driven. It is not yet ten years old, but I have had brake work done at least three times totaling 1500.00+dollars. My air conditioning fails every year. The bars on the outside of the car have begun to peel away from the main body. Three inside door handles have broken off from the inside, and I dont even use my rear doors. This will cost me 150.00 per door without including labor. My car is in the shop now because the mechanic is checking it for transmission failure. The rear trans. Mount and mount bushings have been replaced and need to be replaced again. The alignment is off because it needs new lower control arms now. Without the transmission failing this is 900.00 worth of work. I have never been able to get anything from chrysler except an emailed, "I'm sorry...thank you for buying chrysler" if I ever get this car out of the shop, I will not buy chrysler again. I have spent thousands of dollars on various repairs on this car and it is only 9 years old!

The transmission in my car failed on 5/6/02. The failure consisted of two types. In one type of failure, the transmission would act like it was in neutral when it was actually in drive, while traveling at highway speeds of 60 MPH. In the second type of failure, the car would not shift above second gear. I called my local chrysler dealer to ask if the transmission would be repaired for free, and was told no. Subsequently, I had a chrysler rebuilt transmission installed by an independent garage at a cost of almost $2500.00. This rebuilt transmission came with a 3 year/36,000 mile chrysler warranty. In less than two months (and 1600 miles) this transmission failed in the exact same way. The independent garage installed a new chrysler rebuilt transmission at no cgarge to me. I feel there is ample evidence that the transmission in this vehicle is of inferior design and/or workmanship. If you have ever had your transmission fail in this manner while traveling at highway speeds you know it is definitely a safety hazard. I feel that chrysler should reimburse me for some if not all of the $2500.00 that I paid to fix this product.
