2003 Chrysler Concorde Complaints

CONCORDE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. OIL PRESSURE FAILURE (NO LIGHT, NO WARNING) CAUSED MAIN BEARING TO BREAK. ONLY 81,000 MILES ON CAR. *TR

MY 2003 CONCORDE SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 695 EXPRESSWAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARED TO LOSE POWER. ON 06/30/08 QUICKLY I PUT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED BACK UP AND CONTINUE TO WORK BUT WOULD NOT GO PASS 60 MPH. LUCKY FOR ME THERE WAS NO HEAVY TRAFFIC OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. THERE WAS NO SIGN THAT THE CAR WAS GOING TO LOSE POWER AS SOON AS THE LIGHT POP ON THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND AT THAT TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A SHORTED UPSTREAM 02 SENSOR . I PARKED THE CAR AND DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL 09/27/08 TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. ON 09/29/08 AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 12 MILES THE LIGHT THEN POP BACK ON AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A CODE THAT CAME DURING THE TEST STATED THAT THE CAT CONVERTER INTERNAL WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE DOWN STREAM 02 SENSOR.

AT TIMES, WHEN THE TRUNK IS OPEN AND THE TRUNK LID APPEARS TO BE LOCKED IN THE FULL-OPEN POSITION, IT WILL SILENTLY SLAM SHUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I AM LEANING INTO THE TRUNK. IT HAS HIT ME HARD ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD THREE TIMES, LEAVING BRUISES. IT ALSO HIT MY HUSBAND ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ONCE. BECAUSE THE TRUNK IS SO LONG, WE HAVE TO LEAN IN FAR TO REACH ITEMS, EXPOSING OUR HEADS TO THE DESCENDING TRUNK LID. WE ARE ALSO WORRIED THAT OUR THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO IS EAGER TO HELP OUT REACHES INTO THE TRUNK WHILE WE ARE LOADING / UNLOADING THE CAR AND THAT SHE COULD GET HURT. THE LID LANDING ON HER HEAD OR ARMS WOULD BE CRIPPLING. THE LONG TRUNK LID IS HEAVY SO IT PICKS UP A LOT OF SPEED AND HITS HARD. IT ALSO DOES NOT HELP THAT THE PART OF THE TRUNK LID THAT HITS IS HARD FOLDED SHEET METAL (AS OPPOSED TO THE SOFTER PLASTIC HOUSING FOR THE LATCH). USUALLY, THE TRUNK LID DOES STAY UP. THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S COLD - AND THEN SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY, SOMETIMES...
