1996 Chrysler Concorde Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO A STOP, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. AT 5 MPH THE ABS ENGAGED AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND OCCURRED 40 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A SERVICE DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ALSO DETERMINED, THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE ABS ENGAGE AT A LOW SPEED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. UPDATED 08/23/04. *JB

AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD 96 CHRYSLER CONCORDE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. UPON INSPECTION THE INNER TIE ROD BUSHING WAS MISSING. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. *JB

WHEN USING 1996 CHRYSLER CONCORDE EXPERIENCED THE CAR'S FLOOR SHIFT LEVER JUMPED FROM PARK TO DRIVE WHILE IN A DRIVEWAY. THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED (C45) AND REPAIRED ON 10/11/2004. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO A GARAGE DOOR. PER THE INSURANCE AGENT I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER, THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, AND THIS SITE. CHRYSLER PROVIDED A REFERENCE NUMBER AND I HAVE SCHEDULED FOR A REINSPECTION/REINSTALLATION 1/18/2006. *NM

DT: CONSUMER STATED THE RACK AND PINION CONTINUED TO WEAR OUT WHICH CAUSED THE CAR THE CONSUMER TO VEER OFF TO THE CENTER LINE. THE FIRST TIME IT FAILED, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 46,000 MILES ON IT. IT JUST TAKES OFF IN ANY DIRECTION LEFT OR RIGHT ON ITS OWN. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. CHRYSLER SAID SINCE HE HAD IT REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. WHEN THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME, IT LASTED FOR 2 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. *JB
