“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 . …”

NHTSA complaint #10246573, filed 2008-10, 60 miles

“My vehicle fails to accelerate at times and it happens all the time. The concord lx starts accelerating okay and then the transmission just stops. It happens at all speeds usually when the car is going around 55 MPH then it slowly dies down to about 10-18 MPH. I was driving home in very busy traffic on 95 and didn't even realize it was slowing down until it was rather late to try and get to the shoulder of the road. I have had this vehicle to the shop a ttl of five times. Only recently, 9-16-04 did the Chrysler repairman state this is definitely a transmission problem. …”

“The air bag light would intermittently illuminate while driving at various speeds of 0-30 MPH. The vehicle has been to the dealer and several sensors were replaced. The problem keeps recurring. The consumer requested her money back along with a new vehicle. The transmission shifted erratic at times, there was belt noise at the idle, then engine made a ticking noise through out the day and the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. The camshaft position sensor was replaced. The rear light bulb was replaced.”

“The contact owns a 2003 Chrysler Concorde. While driving approximately 45 MPH on normal road conditions, the engine stalled without warning. He was able to shift the vehicle into neutral and restart the vehicle. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing on eight separate occasions. The power train control module was replaced. None of the repairs have remedied the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000 . The current mileage was 78,000.”
