I have a 2000 Chrysler Concorde with the 2. 7l engine. Recently the engine began knocking very bad. I took it to a mechanic and he told me the engine is going to seize up, and not to drive it. He recommended replacing the engine or at least a rebuild. He then proceded to inform me about how problamatic the 2. 7l engine is, and it fails quite frequently without warning! he was surprised that mine has lasted this long. He said mine is failing prematurely as with most other consumers who have this engine. He mentioned engine sludge as the most probable cause, even though the oil is changed approximately every 4 months!.
: the contact stated while driving, a noise came from the engine. The vehicle was pulled over and towed to an independent repair shop. The repair shop determined the crank shaft bearing failed and there was sludge in the oil.
I purchased a 2000 Chrysler Concorde from sanders automotive in columbus, OH. The car has since then required a completely new engine. I was told by a automotive repair man that this engine has been recalled. I was never notified about this recall and as a consumer do not feel that I should be required to come out of my pocket $3500-$4500 for a car that apparently has this issue on a regular basis.
No warning the car just broke down. I had it towed to my mechanic, and they told me the engine was blown, due to sludge, and it would be about $5000. 00 to fix it. I have not had the car repaired yet.
There were no events leading to the failure everything was fine until I heard the engine knocking and then I took it straight to a dealer to have them look at it where it was then discovered the engine had been blown due to a bearing breaking. The garage said that it wasn't worth rebuilding the engine and would be better off buying a new engine which I couldn't afford due to me being a college student.
I bought a 2000 Chrysler concord with the 2. 7l engine. The engine died on me two years after I got it, 68,000 miles on the odometer. It left me with a very large car note. I also had to go get a new car because the amount that it would cost to replace the engine was just as high as a new car. I just now paid it off and the car has been sitting at my house this whole time. It is a shame.
The engine seized and caused the vehicle to stop at 55 mph. Vehicle pulled over to the right, and had it towed to a repair shop. Results showed that the engine was blown. Consumer will notify the manufacturer.
The 2. 7l engine seized while driving 25-30 mph. Vehicle was almost rear ended while rolling off onto the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop, and mechanic determined that the engine needed to be replaced. Dealer and manufacturer were not notified.
I own a 2000 Chrysler Concorde. Have changed oil on schedule since I purchased the car 20 months ago w/ approx. 45k miles. Have also had the complete engine flush done 3 times. Car has the 2. 7 l engine. Complete failure at 79,300 miles. No help from Chrysler or local dealers.
Vehicle started and made an annoying sound while driving at 55 mph, and the vehicle stopped. Vehicle was towed, and the engine was found to be defective.
While driving at 25 mph consumer heard a noise coming from the engine. Vehicle was taken to the dealership, and technician determined that engine blew out.
When driving 20 mph engine dropped. Vehicle was towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Intermittently while driving at any speed vehicle decelerated then accelerated on its own. Tvehicle reacted as if the brakes were depressed, and then the accelerator. This problem occurred more than twenty times since may of 2004.
I had bought a 2000 Chrysler Concorde in 2001. The car had been acting funny. The oil light came on during stops, the engine would rev up without my pushing the accelerator, the engine was knocking. I took the car to my regular mechanic & paid for repairs that did not solve the problem. Then, soon after I took the car to a Chrysler dealership repair service and they replaced the camsensor. It seemed to correct the problems. About 6 weeks later all of the problems returned. I immediately stopped driving the vehicle except when I drove it back to the service center at the dealership the next morning. They replaced the camsensor again. The next day, my engine froze and now needs to be replaced. It was not under warranty. Therefore, niether Chrysler nor the dealership will take responsibility for my loss.
As other complaints indicate, my oil light started coming on at <700 rpms, car maintenance schedule maintained as instructed, car has 137,000 miles and owe more than its worth now. Can't afford new car, can't afford to pay to replace engine, other complaints indicate sludge problem, I'm taking to mechanic this afternoon, and expect to be told the same thing.
While driving 55 mph consumer heard a loud bang. Engine died. Dealership serviced the vehicle, and determined that engine had blown.
While driving at 35 mph engine died. Vehicle had to be towed to dealer, who indicated there was sludge in the engine.
