1995 Chrysler Concorde Complaints

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING-EMAIL FROM REGARDING TOYOTA *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HER DAUGHTER EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN A 1995 CHRYSLER IN CONNECTION WITH A CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO GO BEYOND TOYOTA/LEXUS.

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. *TR

MY VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE INTO SECOND GEAR. I FOUND OUT WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND BECAME A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN IN REVERSE, IT HAS A "CLUNK" NOISE WHEN THE GAS IS APPLIED. THE PROBLEM CAME ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE ALSO COMPUTER AND IGNITION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS CRACKLING IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN THE HEATER IS ON, THE IGNITION SWITCH CANNOT BE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION WHEN THE CAR IS ON OR THE ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AND PREVENTS FUNCTION OF THE HEATER. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WHEN SHE LOST TOTAL STEERING CONTROL WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN CAUSING CAR TO GO OVER CURB DAMAGING A SIGN AT THE WARREN PUBLIC LIBRARY AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THE TIE ROD LINKAGE INTO THE RACK AND PINION HAD BROKEN OFF. *TR

1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WITH APPROXIMATELY 122,000 MILES BECAME UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING/AN INABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS INNER TIE ROD BUSHINGS. WITHIN THE SAME WEEK, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT CAME UNBOLTED FROM THE CAR. *TR
