Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After only three years, the lock actuator on the drivers side went bad so that it does not automatically lock when I start driving and I cannot lock it using the remote or the switch on the drivers door. I would not have thought anything was out of the ordinary until I spoke to 3 friends of mine that also own 2000 Chrysler products which they also have had to replace actuators in. This seems like an awful high rate of failure.”

NHTSA complaint #10011007, filed 2003-03, 49,500 miles

“For about a year the right rear passenger door has had a loud squealing sound when it attempts to auto lock either by using the remote, internal button, or the speed sensor. By reading the other complaints on this site, I see that my problem is exactly the same as the others have discribed. Additionally, the door cannot be unlocked unless you press the unlock button and then pull the lock up. This could be a very bad situation if someone were trapped inside after an accident.”

NHTSA complaint #10033032, filed 2003-08, 25,000 miles

“2000 Chrysler concord - in the past 3 years door relays (control locks and power windows) have failed 4 times in my car. The service advisor at a Chrysler dealership knew the part and cost as soon as I started to describe my problem. She stated that this was a condition she was very familiar with. My private service center also was familiar with this failure. When these componets fail; power windos won't work and doors can't be electrically unlocked. I believe this condition presents a serious safety condition. …”

“Chrysler Concorde 2000 engine seized at 69000 miles too much money to repair timing belt/chain replaced at 55000 miles door locks replaced ignition switch replaced engine quit with family in car during 65 MPH.”

NHTSA complaint #10181376, filed 2007-02, 69,000 miles

“Automatic door locks do not operate properly. When unlock lever is used, the locks do not unlock and the individual unlock buttom on each door must be pulled up. However, you cannot pull up these buttoms until the automatic unlock lever is first activated.this represents a safety hazzard because the rear doors cannot be opened by someone seated in the rear seats unless someone pushes the automatic unlock lever located on the front two doors. …”
