Two problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2001 Chrysler Concorde. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving to work to pick up paycheck and car started to have a pinging type sound in engine, opened hood, noticed no antifreeze (which was just checked 5 days earlier and was at correct levels!!), the engine shut off. I really wish we could get to Chrysler about the faulty engines 2. 7l on this vehicle!!! I bought it from an older couple and only put 5000 miles on the car. Now I'm stuck with no car for myself and 5 year old child!!!.
I was driving down the highway on way to work one morning, as I had done many times. I was going approx 55 mph and made a decision to pass a slower veh that was traveling ahead of me. As I passed the other vehicle my car shut down, without any warning of lights or anything the engine just stopped. It has not started since. It needed to be towed from the scene. It was definitely a safety hazard. I am lucky that I was able to coast to the edge of the road safely. I have been making a $300 per month car payment on a vehicle I can't use unless I spend $3000 to replace the engine. I am a single mother and I do not have the means to do that. I has infered with my safety and my job.
