Three problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2000 Chrysler Concorde. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving at 40 mph on a busy highway and my engine shut off. I was able to go to the shoulder of the road and avoid any traffic problems. Had my vehicle towed to the repair shop , and they indicated that my engine was blown and needed replacement. I only had 82,000 miles and changed my oil 3 to 4 times a year. This was well within the guidlines. Had my car towed to the dealer and they were great. They set up a communication with Chrysler and instead of having to pay $8,100 for an engine replacement, they offerred to pay $7,000 and I had to pay $1,000. I was happy with the result, however, I don't know why I should have liable for any amount.
Oil light went on yesterday morning. I immediately stopped at a service station and they put in a quart of oil. On the way home from work last night, oil light was still on. I stopped at another service station and they put in another quart of oil. Minutes later, the engine shut off while I was driving. I pushed the car into a nearby gas station and had the car towed to the dealership this morning. They just informed me that I need a new engine - minimum cost will be $6,400. They advised that these were not great engines and Chrysler is not proud of them.
