Six problems related to engine noise have been reported for the 1999 Chrysler Concorde. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving down I-75, my 1999 Concorde began making noise that sounded similar to an object touching a moving fan. When I got to first exit, vehicle died, and at that point oil light flickered. I restarted and before I could get across 1 lane of traffic to the side of the road I thought that from the sound my whole engine would fall out of my vehicle. Car died again,as I managed to reach the side of the road. Had it towed to dealer and was told that the engine had "thrown a rod", and needed to be replaced. I asked what would cause it and was told "everyday wear and tear", it has only 70,000 miles on it. It will cost $5,000. 00 to replace, which I don't have!!! I have spoken to very reliable auto parts dealer about a replacement engine. He told me that the engine has a reputation for being the worst you could have, and that he would not put another 2. 7 liter engine back in the car. (didn't make me feel any better!!) now I find this website and I read 64 complaints with the same issue. Is there a place or phone number to someone who can help with this problem. As it stands now, I have a car that I can't drive, but still have to pay $7,000 on, and no prospects of being able to afford alternate transportation.
Engine began to make noise. Shut down & towed to shop. During diagnosis noise got progressively louder & timing chain jumped. Engine needs to be replaced. Car has 59,000 miles & was always well maintained. My research on the internet has turned up many Chrysler & Dodge 2. 7 litre engines from 1998 to 2002 with the same low mileage failures. Chrysler corp. Blames it on lack of maintenance, but that's hard to believe with so many identical complaints.
I was stopped at a stop sign and pushed the gas pedal to proceed. When the gas pedal was pushed my car began to make loud screeching noises and lost power in the middle of an intersection.
Dt: the consumer owns a 1999 Chrysler Concorde. While driving, the vehicle began to make a noise and the engine just shut off. Prior to this incident the blower worked but there was no heat. The mechanic said the engine was bad and this was a bad year for these engines.
I have a 1999 Chrysler Concorde that has been at the atlanta Dodge dealership since March 26. The engine has sludge build-up and will need to be replaced. The air conditioner was serviced before my trip to atlanta, yet I still experienced the unit making noises the day after we arrived. (thankfully, we arrived). Within an hour of the ac unit making noises, the engine died on I-20 west. I had the car towed to the dealership. I live in florida and purchased the vehicle only 6 â½ months old ago, it has about 79,000 miles. I had 3 regular oil changes during those 6 months, and one month before my business trip, I had a diagnosis test done at goodyear because the oil light was flashing on-an-off. Goodyear also changed the oil that 3rd time. Nothing was discovered. As a single parent of 4 kids, I was trying to rebuild my credit after a series of job layoffs. I have had auto rentals for the 5th week now and see no end in sight. Luckily, I did purchase an extended warranty, but no one is assuming responsibility for the defect, no one-- the warranty people, thrifty dealership (where purchased) or Chrysler! I am sinking further into debt. This is so unfair to the consumer. I am more than angry. I will never purchase a car again without checking ?mycarstats? (I did a very generic online search and had carfax). And will never purchase a Dodge or Chrysler again. I am now searching for a mechanic?s special to get around town and to work.
Consumer stated while driving heard some engine noise. Pulled off the road, and engine died completely. Dealer notified.
