Two problems related to structure have been reported for the 1997 Chrysler Concorde. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When I would place the automatic transmission in reverse on my 1997 Chrysler Concorde the gas pedal would stick and accelerate at a rapid rate. The only way that I could stop the acceleration was by placing both on the brake and turning the key off. Dave dennis Chrysler dealer in dayton, OH. , verified this. They found that the cradle bushings were bad which caused the motor to move and hit the throttle which caused the motor to rev. Up in gear. They replaced the cradle bushings and I have had no trouble since. I consider this to be a safety issue. The mechanic at the Chrysler dealer stated that worn cradle bushings were a common problem with k frames used on Chryslers. I can't be the only person who has experienced this problem due to cradle bushings wear.
Water leaks under air vents under window wipers ,body seams let water in car as fast as it will run. Have sealed 1 leak with silicone on seam on passenger side. Carpet and mat on driver side now getting wet and stinks. Replaced windshield 6-27-03,so I know that was not the problem. Car bought new and has never been in accident. Dealers service mgr. Claims there has not been any problems,but my mechanic,knows a Chrysler mechanic there,and he says there are plenty of complaints. They have even sprayed rubberized undercoating on seams and surrounding areas to seal water leaks.
