I WAS LEAVING WORK WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AND MY LIFE LITERALLY FLASHED IN FRONT OF MY EYES . I ENTERED THE FREEWAY VIA THE MERGE LANE AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. WHEN I ENTERED THE FREEWAY I SLOWLY INCREASED MY SPEED TO 50 MPH. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND SHUT OFF. AT THIS POINT I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, I COULD NOT STEER. MY VEHICLE SCRAPPED OFF THE JERSEY BARRIER AND I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I THEN PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD CAUSING ME TO SKID SIDEWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID HITTING ME AND IN DOING SO HE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FACING THE WRONG WAY ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WAY WORST. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE ENGINE FAILED DUE TO SLUDGE BUILDUP IN THE ENGINE. HE ALSO ST

I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF RECALL OR INVESTIGATION ON MY VEHICLE HEADLIGHT LENS I HAVE ORIGINAL LENSES AND THEY ARE CLOUDED OVER LEAVING NIGHT VISIBILITY VERY LOW THANK YOU *TR

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND IT STARTED TO DING ON AND OFF. TOOK TO MECHANIC WHO TOOK TO CHRYSLER DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2000 REGARDING THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL CONCERNING THE SEAT BELTS AFFECTING THE AIR BAG LIGHT. NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR EXCEPT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELTS ARE NOT CONNECTED. IT IS REALLY BOTHERING ME AS I DRIVE AND THIS NOISE KEEPS BINGING AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION??? *TR

THE LIFTS ON THE HOOD AND TRUNK HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE OF FALLING. THE DOOR AND HEADLIGHT TRIM IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAS PULLED COMPLETELY OFF THE DOORS AND HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE OF SHRINKAGE, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES AN HOUR THE HOOD MOLDING CAME FLYING OFF AND WENT OVER THE TOP OF THE CAR AND LANDED IN THE DITCH. THESE ARE DEFECTS WHICH I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I WAS DRIVING WHEN I HEARD A TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE, I USED MY CELLPHONE TO CALL MY MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY MY TIMING CHAIN BUT THAT IF IT'S JUST TICKING IT'S NOT IMMINENT DANGER OF BREAKING. I ARRIVED TO WORK AND UPON LEAVING WORK, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND, I SAW SMOKE COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK COMPANY AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND WOULD COST $6000.00 TO REPLACE IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME ( 2 TOWING FEES AT THIS POINT AT $90.00 EACH). I CALLED A MECHANIC THAT SPECIALIZES IN INTREPID/CONCORDE REPAIRS AND HE ADVISED THAT I SHOULD TOW THE CAR TO HIM AS IT MIGHT NOT BE COMPLETELY BLOWN. ANOTHER TOWING FEE ($90.00) AND ANOTHER MECHANICS OPINION, YES THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AND THIS MECHANIC STATED THE REASON FOR FAILURE WAS OIL SLUDGE. I ASKED WHAT I COULD HAVE D

HELLO, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION WITH MY YEAR 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LX. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I PURCHASED THIS CAR ROUGHLY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WITH 41,000 MILES ON IT. THE CARFAX VEHICLE REPORT STATED THAT THE CAR HAD PERFECT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND IT WAS OWNED BY ONE FEMALE OWNER OVER THE COURSE OF ITS LIFE. AFTER OWNING THE CAR I NOW HAVE ABOUT 65,000 MILES ON THIS CAR, WITH PERFECT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS OF THE ENGINE SLUDGE PROBLEM THAT THESE 2.7 LITER ENGINES EXPERIENCE. MY RPMS ARE DROPPING TO LOW REVS AT IDLE, AND MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY SEIZE WHILE DRIVING. AT THIS POINT I NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND LEAVE IT STATIONARY IN MY PARENTS GARAGE. TO REPLACE THESE ENGINES THEY COST AROUND 4,000 - 10,000 DOLLARS. THAT IS MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF. THERE IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE DESIGN, AND ANY QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH CAN SHOW THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS UPON THOUSANDS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DOOR LOCKS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON TO LOCK OR UNLOCK IT WILL NOT WORK AND IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE.I HAVE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS BY HAND. I HAVE CHECKED WITH MY MECHANIC AND HE TELLS ME ITS PROBABLY THE MOTOR AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN EACH DOOR AT ABOUT $150.00 EACH DOOR. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2000 I LOVE THE CAR BUT HATE THIS PROBLEM.

THE MOTOR ON A MY 2.7L 2000 CHRYSLER CONTOUR ROD BEARINGS WENT OUT RUINING THE MOTOR. THE REPAIR WOULD BE 3,000. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A KNOWN INCIDENT WITH THESE MOTORS THAT CHRYSLER USES IN THIS MODEL. THE MOTOR WENT OUT ON A CAMPING TRIP 180 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. I LEFT THE CAR AT A SHOP AND AM CURRENTLY DONATING IT TO CHARITY. *TR
