“Chrysler Concorde lxi, model year 2000, mileage 71930: leaving driveway, turning right, upon trying to center steering wheel after turn, it would not turn back to the left and I ran off the road to the right. Minor damage. Backed out and only could steer left with extreme effort. Managed to get car back into the driveway. Call mechanic, told me rack and pinion had failed - common problem on 2000 Concorde. If I had been traveling at highway speeds, this would have been really bad.”
NHTSA complaint #10195541, filed 2007-07, 71,930 miles“Backing out of our garage (straight without turning) at home; the steering wheel suddenly didn't respond to any action from driver (my wife) after a snapping sound was heard. No prior accident or known damage to trigger this. If this would have happened while driving on a highway or other busy artery, the outcome might have been with personal and/or material consequences. Hopefully this wasn't the case. This is a Chrysler concord xi 2000 with 38,000 miles, and overall in pristine conditions.”
NHTSA complaint #10176337, filed 2006-12, 37 miles“While turning,the steering wheel locked up temporarily. The shop mechanic determined that problem pertained to the steering rack. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The steering loss was intermittent over a period of two days. The steering wheel was loose and would lock up at times.”
NHTSA complaint #10088005, filed 2004-09, 64,402 miles“Dt: the caller stated car was idling up while driving, and then it stalled. This happened about 20 times while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the cam sensor and computer throttle sensor were the cause of the failure. The tie-rod ends also failed. The estimated cost to replace the sensors was $300-$400. The car has a warranty, but this problem was not covered under the warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10127833, filed 2005-07, 53,000 miles“Dt: deer ran in front of car and the steering wheel would not turn the vehicle. She lost control of vehicle and it hit some trees. Upon impact, the front drivers or passenger air bags did not deploy. It happened without warning. Dealer/ manufacturer have not been contacted yet.”
