2001 Chrysler Concorde Complaints

2.7 ENGINE IN CHRYSLER CONCORDE JUST BLEW WITH 70,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. 4 SEPARATE MECHANICS STATED THAT CHRYSLER HAD MANY, MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2.7 ENGINE. OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY AND ALL FLUIDS WERE AT CORRECT LEVELS. NO REASON FOR ENGINE TO COMPLETELY FAIL WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT TO GET VEHICLE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE WHICH IS NOW COSTING ME $1000'S OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. ENGINE MADE NOISE FOR 1 DAY, I PARKED IT, AND 3 DAYS LATER IT WOULD NOT START. HAD MECHANIC CHECKING AND REPLACING STARTER, BATTERY, ETC. FINALLY DETERMINED THE ENGINE BLEW. AS OF TODAY, THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 CHRYSLER CONCORDE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE STARTED TO RATTLE AND EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE FAILED. THE ENGINE WAS A 2.7L AND THE CAR HAD 118,000 MILES ON IT. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE FILED AND THE CAR IS CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING. *TR

MY CAR CHRYSLER ENGINE FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

2001 CONCORD STEERING WENT OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME. CAR HAS ONLY 42000 MILES. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY ONE WHEEL WENT LEFT THE OTHER STAYED STRAIGHT. MY WIFE HAD JUST CAME HOME FROM WORK. *TR

THE FIRST BREAKDOWN OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2004. THE ENGINE FROZE WITH NO WARNING. WE HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE SECOND BREAKDOWN OCCURRED ON AUGUST 1ST 2008. THAT'S RIGHT THE SECOND BREAKDOWN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED THE ENGINE WENT FROM RUNNING GREAT TO RUNNING LIKE CRAP IN SECONDS. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT I WILL BE NEEDING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ENGINE. *TR
