Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This car has multiple problems. I find that the complaints with the windows are consistent e.g. Won't roll down on passenger side front and off track driver's side front. I have water collecting on the driver's side front after lots of rain. The molding on the car whether it be the headlights or around the doors does not stay in place. The trunk vent has been replaced and the struts and sway bar had to be replace shortly after the purchase.”
NHTSA complaint #10016145, filed 2003-04, 28,000 miles“Ignition switch problem with 1998 Chrysler Concorde. Switch dosen't seem to release after starting, consiquence is that air bags, power windows,power lockls and all related power equipment is non functional. I know of other Chrysler products that have the same problem, seems to be a problem in the ignition switch and/or related linkage.”
NHTSA complaint #10067744, filed 2004-04, 95,000 miles“I have a 1998 Chrysler Concorde! The window has been giving my wife a lot of problems, I had 2 of the motors replaced, the one on the drivers side has broken again, and now it is off track. It is a shame that Chrysler wont own up to the fact they have a defect, the next car I buy will not be a Chrysler. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***761425”
NHTSA complaint #10008833, filed 2002-05“The driver's side glass window became loose for the first time in march 2000 and it was replaced by the dealer and it was covered because it was still under warranty. The glass window just came down while driving. But just recently on 6/21/2001 the glass window completely shattered while driving. My husband immediately had to take the car to a Chrysler dealer and he was very frightened because imagine if our little girl had been around the car. This is the second time that the glass had come loose but this time it shattered. …”
NHTSA complaint #748019, filed 2001-07“Similar to odi id no. 748019, the driver's side window broke loose and could not be raised. Examination of the failure showed that the sheet metal window support had broken. Chrylser's only solution seems to be to replace the window with similar components. Very poor design. A sheet metal part bent over on to itself and then glued (epoxied) produces a weak joint.”
