1993 Chrysler Concorde Complaints

DEALER HAD FIXED RECALL C45 - FLOOR SHIFTER IGNITION/PARK INTERLOCK ON 93 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. PICKED UP CAR FROM DEALER AND RETURNING HOME AT 40 MPH (RT 124 MD) WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE HOOD POPS OPEN AND SLAMS AGAINST THE FRONT WIND SHIELD WITH A LOUD BANG. WINDSHIELD NOT DAMAGED. SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PULL THE HOOD AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. HOOD DISTORTED AND CRUMPLED. HOOD SHOCKS AND HINGES RIPPED. HOOD SUDDENLY OPENING WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE HOOD LOCK. *AK

WHILE SHIFTING TRANSMISSION PIN SHAFT SHEARED OFF. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND TOWED IT THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

1. NO GRADUAL SIGNS. ONE DAY, FRONT END VERY UNSTABLE, SHAKING AND WOBBLING - AS IF FRONT END NOT ALIGNED OR BAD TIRES / INFLATION. STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS A CHALLENGE & FELT VERY UNSAFE. SAME DAY, I TOOK VEHICLE TO TIRE STORE TO HAVE LOOKED AT, TIRES CHECKED / ROTATED IF NEEDED. REPLACED ONE REAR TIRE THAT WAS SOON TO BE NEEDED AND CHECKED INFLATION ON OTHERS, ETC. 5:30PM, I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. CAR DROVE BETTER IT SEEMED - FOR APPROX. 4 MILES. 2. 5:45PM - AT RED STOP LIGHT, WHILE WAITING FOR LIGHT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE WITH VEHICLE. ONCE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS 2ND CAR IN LINE TO PROCEED... WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD, VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO. I THOUGHT MAY HAVE STALLED - NO. IT WOULD JUST NOT GO. I GOT OUT OF VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND ME... LOOKED AT FRONT OF CAR, NOTHING. BENT DOWN TO LOOK AT TIRES & BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE FACING (TURNED) INWARD - TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE DO THIS !!! THANK GOD I WAS STOPPED...

CHRYSLER CONCORDE 1993 CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGES WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED. ON MAY 13, 2004, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISCONNECTED AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED:THE CRUISE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HESITATES AND SHUDDERS. AFTER A SECOND OR TWO, THE LIGHT GOES OFF.*AK

ON 09/11/03 I PURCHASED A USED 1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE LOW FUEL GAUGE AND AIRBAG LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON, ND MY TANK IS AT LEAST HALF FULL ALL THE TIME. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND WHEN THEY DO, IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SOMETIMES STALL AND JERK VIOLENTLY AS IF I'VE BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR AND GAS FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH PRIVATE MECHANICS AND EXPLAINED IT TO THEM BUT NOONE COULD FIND ANY PROBLEM. I RECENTLY FOUND A WEBSITE LISTING PERSONS WITH SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS I'VE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND FIND IT AMAZING THAT WE HAVEN'T ALL BECOME A FATALITY BECAUSE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE A HOOD THAT WON'T STAY UP, A TRUNK THAT SOMETIMES OPENS BY ITSELF, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES OFF AND THE HEATER COMES ON AT FULL SPEED, ACCELERATION WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARKING TO DRIVE AND ON AND ON.
