“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10291225, filed 2009-11, 118,000 miles“Car engine seized due to sludge build up. I've only had the car for 10 months before this happened. I've done the proper maintenance to it, ie. Oil changes. And the place where the car is currently sitting, they refuse to honor my extended warranty due to sludge build up.”
NHTSA complaint #10215310, filed 2008-01, 64,010 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10236958, filed 2008-08, 51,800 miles“I owned a 2001 Chrysler concord. I bought from shawnee mission kia. I had the car for a year. I got my regular maintenance, including an oil change one month before my engine began to go out. My check engine light never came on. I just began to knock one day ( the engine) and about two weeks to a month my engine went out. I could not afford to pay for a new engine and I was forced to send the car back.”
NHTSA complaint #10154749, filed 2006-04, 55,000 miles“2.7 liter v6 Chrysler Concorde engine in excellent working condition with constant oil and filter changes every 3,000 miles unexpectedly failed. After taking engine to dealer I was informed that the engine had to be replaced. No other explanation as to the cause of the problem was given. After checking the internet we have found that this is a known problem with these engines and that Chrysler is not taking responsibility for this defect.”
