Engine Failure problems of the 2001 Chrysler Concorde

My car Chrysler engine failed while I was driving.

I was driving my 2001 Chrysler Concorde on the highway when with no warning the engine started to rattle and eventually the engine failed. The engine was a 2. 7l and the car had 118,000 miles on it. This was a very scary situation on the highway. The engine filed and the car is currently not running.

I bought the car from a dealer after a while the motor failed I spent 2600. I had it replaced 6mo later the motor failed it was under warranty (the motor) but I had to pay $800. 00 for labor, then not even 8mo later that motor failed. I have put so much money in this car we have only driven it for maybe a year. I'm still paying on the car it won't be paid of until Nov 2011 all together I will have paid over 10,000 for a car and only drove it for 1 year. Considering the most me and my wife have made in a year was 35,000 we spent almost a â third of a year working hard for a car that we would only get to drive for 1 flippin year. Sad, sad, sad. I have had many cars in the 10 years I've been driving and I have never had one, not one catastrophic engine failure. And to add to that I've never had a car that wasn't at least 5 yrs old with at least 60,000 mi. On it as a matter of fact all but the car I'm writing about and the car my wife drives now had over 110,000 when I got them. So is this my fault? am I the unluckiest guy in the world? I don't think so I've heard a lot of people singing this same tune about the 2. 7 motors, so my question why has nothing been done about these issues, why has this motor not been completely recalled? I realize there's a lot of money at stake here, but if I had a company and produced a product that was prone to fail, or break, it would be recalled no matter what, even if it was the end of my CO that would happen. So what is the problem, why isn't Chrysler being held responsible?.

I have a 2001 Chrysler Concorde with 80,000 miles. The engine failed and I still owe $6,000. 00. A month ago I had it checked, oil changes, etc. . Then 4 weeks later I'm at a stop sign and it just shuts down. I took it to Chrysler and they told me that the timing chain broke which ruined the engine. This just doesn't seem right or fair. I feel this car should have lasted me longer than 1 1/2 years. I can't believe this is actually even happening. . . I can't afford this. Yesterday a friend of mine had the exact same thing happen while driving her 2001 Concorde down the highway. This happended to my aunt a couple of years ago too and her intrepid sat useless while she finished paying off the loan for it. I hope something can be done about this. Obviously something is wrong with the engines if it's happened to not only myself but also my friend and my aunt. Ho.

I own a 2001 Chrysler Concorde with approximately 63,000. My wife was driving the car, when the engine seized up. We had it towed to a Chrysler garage in shinnston, wv where one technician admitted to many problems with the 2. 7l engine. The garage manager, however, denied any problems. Although there were no injuries from this engine failure while driving, we have suffered severe economic injuries, as we have a car that is not paid for, not drivable, and will cost, at a minimum, $6,000 to fix. Although many internet sites tell of how many people are suffering the same consequences as we are, no one at Chrysler corporation will admit to this problem.

2001 Chrysler Concorde-engine failure.

While driving 40 mph engine failed without warning.

While driving 40 mph engine failed without warning.

2001 Chrysler Concorde with approximately 22,000 miles. The engine sieze and ceased to function while I was driving with my three children down interstate hyw. I had very littlwe control over my vehicle when this occurred. The engine has always gotten extremely hot during use even on short trips. Chrysler has told me that I did not change the oil frquently enough which caused the engine failure. I think something is inherintly wrong with the engine as it gets extremely hot even after short trips. In fact, the hood of the car gets so hot it can actually burn you when you touch it. I have since learned that this problem occurs with many Chrysler Concordes and Chrysler obviously knows a problem exists that could endanger the lives of consumers.
