Three problems related to engine have been reported for the 2002 Chrysler Concorde. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
: the contact stated without warning at 55 mph the engine stopped. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop, which determined there was sludge in the oil and the engine needed to be replaced.
August 2005, my Chrysler concord's oil was changed by the dealership, twelve days later my cars engine was knocking loudly, the dealership told me I let the oil run low (which I had not)and sludge was also a problem within the lower engine. They changed the oil again for free, and flushed the sludge from the engine, at my cost. Now two months later my cars engine is blown up from the sludge problem in the engine. The dealership park Dodge @ 301-737-0088 is quoting me 7,500 to replace the engine. I owe 6,000 on the vehicle which is my final 12 months of payments. My engine has 88,000 miles on it and has been taken very good care of. I have been told four times by the service representative and a salesmen these 2. 7 concord engines have a bad sludge problem which causes each engine to be replaced. They stated Chrysler is not owning up to the problem.
While traveling at 30 mph vehicle lost power, causing it to strike a curb. Vehicle was towed, and the engine was found to be defective.
