While driving down I-45 in conroe, texas, my engine sputtered, jerked, and died. As you know when you lose engine power, your steering wheel becomes locked up and its almost impossible to control the car. It has died on me before but on back roads almost home or at an intersection. I didn't realize the seriousness of it until it happened on the freeway and there are people coming up on me doing 70-80 mph and I am quickly coming to a dead stop.

Dt consumer states that on August 20, 2005 the vehicle completely came to a stop while going at 40 mph, the vehicle lost power. Consumer had ittowed to the dealer . They said the cam shaft cracked and broke, and there was metal flying in the engine. The vehicle would turn over, but would not start. There was no forewarning prior to this incident. The dealer said this was a common problem. The engine was known to be a sludge builder whether highway or city driving. Consumer contacted the manufacturer, they said there was no problem with the engine.

1999 Chrysler Concorde begain to hiccup on the interstate. As I pulled off an exit it stopped right in the middle of a very busy intersection. The car completely shut down, not steering ability, no driveability. I was almost hit and several other cars had to avoid hitting me. There were many drivers affected and angry.

I own a 1999 chrsyler Concorde that has just over 40,000 miles when the engine just died. Turns out that sludge build up is the problem but the engine is ruined???? I have religiously maintained the vehicle according the the manual. Then I found that this a known problem with this 2. 7l engine. Why hasn't Chrysler stepped up to inform their customers of this problem and worst yet why haven't the local dealers been informing the local customers about this problem?? I am furious and will not buy another product from chrsyler, ever. I was seriously considering the new 300m becuase I love the car but no way will I purchase one now after babying this car for the last 6 years. I am heading back to the Honda dealer tomoorw to buy a new Honda accord. My son ss drivng my 1990 Honda acoord I owned before trying an "american" made car again with 131,000 miles on it and never one problem. Never again. . . . . No chyrsler products in my furure. . . . Ever! is there any recourse??????? thanks you for your support.

While driving home from work my 1999 Concorde with 90,000 miles on it started knocking very loudly. I had to shut the vehicle down because it sounded like the motor was tearing itself apart. Had the vehicle looked at by a mechanice who said the motor needed to be rebuilt or replaced at a cost of about 3000-4000 dollars. The vehicle still sits in my driveway today making payments on it. This happened in 2004 and its now 2007. Great way to back your product chyrsler by telling me I didnt maintain proper maintanance. Want to see the reciepts.

While driving the engine completely locked up. Consumer had the first engine 2. 7 replaced with a rebuilt 2. 7 liter engine. In which she was told the 2. 7 liter engine was the only one to fit the vehicle. This rebuilt engine was experiencing the very same problem as the first.

I was driving my 99 Concorde on a curvy road when engine started knocking and died. I had only manual steering and no brakes. It took all of my strength to keep it from going off a curve. I called the tow service and had it towed to a garage. They said a rod bearing had gone out of the engine. After numerous calls to Chrysler and the district mngr. He had it towed to the dealership where I bought it. To rebuild my engine (with their discount) was $6300. 00. Another rebuilt engine was $7300. 00 a new engine was $8300. 00. I have records this car was babied and regularly serviced. Chysler has denied their problem with hundreds/thousands of the 2. 7 l engines saying the sludge build up in the engine causes the blow up. They blame the owners for poor maintenance. So now I have a lawn ornament in my driveway. I refuse to pay this. I can buy another used whole car for that. I've been a chysler man for years as was my father. I have 3 now. When they are gone. That's it. Believe me I will research my next auto I purchase.

Chrysler concord 2. 7 engine driving down hwy oil light came on loud knocking under hood car stopped towed car to dealer. They said I had a blown engine I change the oil every 3 to 35 hundred miles. They said that the engine had excessive sludge. After talking to several other engine people they said that the 2. 7 engine has a habit of blowing at around 75000 miles.

Consumer advised that timing chain guide has broken twice while driving resulting in extensive engine damage. 1st failure occurred in 10/01 at 34k miles. 2nd failure occurred in 11/02 at 58k miles. Ts.

Air conditioning continually goes out. As car has expired warranty, Chrysler says they have no obligation to repair. I disagree. I believe that Chrysler, and in my particular situation, has a faulty a/c system.

The engine started to make a wierd noise. Vehicle was towed to dealer, dealer stated engine completely failed due to slug build up.
