5 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 1999 Chrysler Concorde

Failure Date: 10/25/2001

I put car in reverse in parking lot and it lunged forward at full throttle with tires smoking, sideswipping one vehicle and pushed parked 2nd vehicle 30 ft into parking lot isle. My foot never left the brake pedal (used to shift), and brakes were useless in trying to stop the car. After hitting the second car (totalling it) got car stopped by slamming gear shift lever into park. This is the 3rd instance of this happening in the milwaukee area that is known to us. Substancial injuries were incurred in second instance where car when through garage door with severe facial injuries. The 3rd car went through a window of a business. All 3 were 1999 Chrysler products. Chrysler refuses to accept any blame for the accident and sent us a form letter saying the car was okay when it left the factory. Our car was a Chrysler Concorde lxi, the 2nd a Chrysler lhs, and the 3rd a Dodge neon.

9 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 1996 Chrysler Concorde

Failure Date: 01/10/2000

Continuing lack of braking "power" I. E. Pedal is on the floor and there is not enough braking force generated to cuase the anti-lock brakes to actuate ,even on wet pavement, causing longer stopping distances and some real tense moments. Deale has tried replacing several components with no result and I'm getting worried that evntually ther will be an accident caused by lack of braking ability in what should have been a no-problem, routine stop. There have been other complaints from other Chrysler owners showning same behavior- these appear in Chrysler lhs's and new yorkers which are essentially the same vehicles under the skin.

13 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 1998 Chrysler Concorde

Failure Date: 02/15/1999

Rear brakes improperly adjusted by manufacturer, resulting in front brakes overloading and warping the front brake rotors. Dealer adjusted the rear brakes and replaced the front brake rotors. Since the repairs were covered under warrantly, I assume that Chrysler (now daimler/Chrysler) is aware of the problem. I have a 1997 Chrysler Concorde which had the identical problem at approximately 12,000 miles. Very disconcerting to have such a safety-related problem with a car costing upwards of $25,000.

Failure Date: 07/15/1998

Rear brakes improperly adjusted by manufacturer, resulting in front brakes overloading on braking, which in turn resulted in warped front brake rotors. Dealer adjusted the rear brakes and replaced the front brake rotors. Since the work was covered under warranty, I assume Chrysler (now daimler/Chrysler) is aware of the problem. Very disconcerting to have a safety-related problem in a car costing upwards of $25,000.
