Check Engine Light On problems of the 2001 Chrysler Concorde

I owned a 2001 Chrysler concord. I bought from shawnee mission kia. I had the car for a year. I got my regular maintenance, including an oil change one month before my engine began to go out. My check engine light never came on. I just began to knock one day ( the engine) and about two weeks to a month my engine went out. I could not afford to pay for a new engine and I was forced to send the car back.

I purchased my car in oct. 2004, with around 32,000 miles on it. May, 2005 ( with 54,000 miles) my engine gave up on me. I was driving highway speed on my way to work when my engine light popped on, two minutes later my engine stalled in the middle of traffic. I was able to restart my engine after about 15 min later. I had my vehicle towed to the nearest Chrysler dealer, I was told that I had low oil, resulting in sludge build up. I'd just received an a oil change on April 22, 2005. The dealership told me to see a salesman and purchase a new vehicle. I questioned him by asking how to fix my car , he said to purchase a new engine. I had my vehicle towed to 4 other dealerships and mechanics, they all said that I have some type of internal engine malfunction that can not be fixed. I contacted daimler , I was told that I was out of warranty, and they could not help me. Mean while, I have been paying on a vehicle that does not work, I have been missing work due to not having transportation, and I just got my vehicle eight months prior to failure, so I still owe more that four years on my car. Please enlighten me on what to do. I understand that there is a problem that needs to be addressed on behalf of daimler, why is there nothing being done about it?.

I was driving my 2001 Chrysler Concorde from my home to go shopping in town, when the engine oil light came on, and my car suddenly died. It was towed to bob ridings Ford dealership, where I was told the engine had spun 3 rod bearings, due to engine sludge in motor. My vehicle has only 49,000 miles on it, and I have records of my oil changes. What am I supposed to do with this car. I have been told it is not under warranty, due to owner neglect. So now I am responsible for paying to have a replacement motor put in my car. Which is only 2 years old, and only had 23,217 miles on it when I bought it. If this is how Chrysler cars hold up , then I would suggest to other consumers to buy japanese, as my husband has a 1985 Nissan 300zx, with 157,000 miles and has never had a motor problem, same oil, same oil changes as my Concorde.

1) my "check engine light" comes on continually. I have had it in three times and have been told it's my gas cap or a loose hose. This is not true, as it came on the 2 and 3rd time, after "repairs" had been done, and I had not refueled the car or driven in poor conditions. Each time the light comes on after I have driven about 75 miles. 2) the lights on the instrument panel randomly fade in and out. 3) after getting the oil changed on 5/24/04, I was down a quart of oil by 6/3/2004. 4)the engine runs very hot and stumbles when I accelerate after stopping. When I called the service center at the dealer to express concern over this, I was told I need to change my oil. I reminded them I had just changed my oil, but I then expressed my concern about engine seizure, which I have learned is not uncommon in this vehicle. I asked what could be done to prevent this. I was told that this doesn't happen to people who change their oil. What happens if the engine does seize, even though I've had regular oil changes? how can I be proactive when the service centers deny the problem even exists?.

While driving at any speed engine check light came on and stayed on. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who removed the engine check light sensor. Vehicle had been to dealer six times for this particular problem. Currently, engine check light would not come on even when the key was in the on position. Consumer felt that this might cause more serious problems in the future.
