10 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2001 Chrysler Concorde

Failure Date: 05/31/2005

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?.

13 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2001 Chrysler Concorde

Failure Date: 12/10/2004

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.

18 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2001 Chrysler Concorde

Failure Date: 06/10/2004

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?.

21 Check Engine Light On problem of the 1999 Chrysler Concorde

Failure Date: 02/14/2004

Ii bought a 1999 Chrysler Concorde in late October of 2003. It had low miles (35,000) and the dealership (a chevy dealership) gave me a 90 day or 3,000 mile warranty. I am faithful about taking care of my care so imagine my surprise when the engine light came on and as I was driving it to the Chrysler dealership, it died. I had it towed there and they called me the next day and told me that the timing chain had gone out and that I would need to have it replaced. I gave them the go-ahead. But within hours, they called me back and asked if I had ever changed the oil in my car? I told them that I had within the last 1,000 miles. I had just purchased the car, and it had come with a 120 point inspection (including an oil change). The Chrysler dealership said it was the worst case of sludge he had ever seen in his 17 years of working as a mechanic! I was stunned. I had just purchased this car! he told me I should have it returned to the chevy dealership where I purchased it, and demand that they repair it. Well two days later, I have my car towed down the road to the chevy dealer and I call them to tell them the bad news. They inform me that they can fix it at the cost of $7300 for a new engine, $6300 for a rebuilt one or $5700 for a used one of 30,000 miles! I financed the car at a 9% interest rate on $7,000. If I pay for a new engine, I would be paying for this car 2 1/2 times over! I told them that it was unacceptable. They then told me the name of the local Chrysler representative here in the greater cincinnati area. I have a phone call in to mr. Greg pritz but I have yet to hear back from him. Do you offer advice or suggestions. Durell - butch - hamm.
