: the contact stated while driving at speeds above 45 mph, the check engine light illuminated. The rpm's then went to zero and the vehicle stalled. This has occurred 5 times in the past year. The vehicle was pulled over and started after waiting at least 2 hours. The computer does not store any codes and the dealership is unable to determine a problem. The fuel filter and battery have been replaced, but this has not corrected the problem.
The contact stated vehicle stalled . This has been ongoing for the past two months. After the vehicle stalled it would not restart and had to be towed to a dealership. Diagnostic testing found the throttle module needed to be replaced. The module was replaced but the vehicle continued to stall. Updated 12/27/2005. Prior to the vehicle stalling the check engine light would flash, then the vehicle would slowly lose power then shut off. The vehicle would not restart for approximately 45-50 minutes. After the vehicle was restarted it would idle low and the engine would shake; then eventually shut off again. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
On June 23 2005 while driving down the road the engine began to jump. Owner was going 45 mph. There were no warnings until the engine light came on almost at the same time the engine began to jump. The power steering and brakes still worked so owner slowed down , and got into the right lane in case the car stopped completely. Car was taken to the mechanic who stated that it was the timing chain and other factors in the engine. Manufacture has been contacted, but will not cooperate with owner. The car had only been driven for five minutes. There were no other problems with vehicle. Car is now in shop for repairs.
The vehicle was on the road when all of a sudden the check engine light turned and within seconds the engine shut down. Manufacturer will be contacted by owner.
While driving the engine light came on and the vehicle cut off. The vehicle was towed. It was discovered that the engine was defective. ( a research was done on the 2. 7 l engine, and the failure rate was great).
Ii bought a 1999 Chrysler Concorde in late October of 2003. It had low miles (35,000) and the dealership (a chevy dealership) gave me a 90 day or 3,000 mile warranty. I am faithful about taking care of my care so imagine my surprise when the engine light came on and as I was driving it to the Chrysler dealership, it died. I had it towed there and they called me the next day and told me that the timing chain had gone out and that I would need to have it replaced. I gave them the go-ahead. But within hours, they called me back and asked if I had ever changed the oil in my car? I told them that I had within the last 1,000 miles. I had just purchased the car, and it had come with a 120 point inspection (including an oil change). The Chrysler dealership said it was the worst case of sludge he had ever seen in his 17 years of working as a mechanic! I was stunned. I had just purchased this car! he told me I should have it returned to the chevy dealership where I purchased it, and demand that they repair it. Well two days later, I have my car towed down the road to the chevy dealer and I call them to tell them the bad news. They inform me that they can fix it at the cost of $7300 for a new engine, $6300 for a rebuilt one or $5700 for a used one of 30,000 miles! I financed the car at a 9% interest rate on $7,000. If I pay for a new engine, I would be paying for this car 2 1/2 times over! I told them that it was unacceptable. They then told me the name of the local Chrysler representative here in the greater cincinnati area. I have a phone call in to mr. Greg pritz but I have yet to hear back from him. Do you offer advice or suggestions. Durell - butch - hamm.
