1998 CHRYSLER CONCORDE — Complaint #575278

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE filed March 9, 2006

NHTSA complaint #575278 (ODI reference 10152337) concerns a 1998 CHRYSLER CONCORDE and was filed on March 9, 2006. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 11, 2002. The vehicle had 22,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Iowa based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:gasoline, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHRYSLER CONCORDE cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:engine:gasoline failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1998 CHRYSLER CONCORDE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
