Cooling Fan Problems of Chrysler Concorde

I own a 1998 Chrysler Concorde with a 2. 7 l engine. We have maintained it according to the schedule in the handbook, with oil changes approximately every 4500 - 7500 miles. The car has 79000 miles on it. About a week ago we noticed an engine noise that sounded like a fan going out. We took the car into an independant shop and they diagnosed a failure of the cooling fan. That was repaired, but at the same time a much large problem was found. The engine is making a clicking noise that sounds like lifters. The shop determined it was not upper engine, and hence not lifters. We can't afford to have the engine torn apart and replaced ($7,000) but the problem is apparently lower engine. I found literally a hundred reports of engine failure on Concordes and intrepids with this same engine, many of which indicated that the engine failed (blew up) while driving - which is obviously very dangerous. I was a lucky one - that so far hasn't had the engine blow up, but if it does or if it had, since I live in a dallas suburb with massive amounts of traffic it most likely would have been fatal. I will be keeping off the highways if I drive it at all.

I had a a/c diagnostics test at maxwell(Chrysler/Plymouth) 6905 I. H. 35 south austin, texas 78715 on April 5, 2003. Service advisor: 9 doug shaw told me I needed fan belts(two at $165), rt cooling fan motor soon($236. 00 for cooling fan motor, and other engine cooling fan motor replaced but if cooling fan motor only at $322. 14), evaporative coil(at cost $1035. 00), evac&recharge-add dye($145. 00 cost) for testing. I had someone else put on the rt cooling fan motor and put fill it up with freon. It is still not working properly. Sometimes it will come on and blow cold air sometimes it won't. But it will not come on right away. Driver's door radio door speaker has a buzz.

I own a 1999 Chrysler Concorde lxi. I have had numerous problems with this car since I have owned it. Lot of little things. Window motors, cooling fan, transmission overspeed sensor, and the list goes on. Now the air conditioner is going out, having to service it about every 2 months. Why I am writing though is the steering. Seems like it is going bad. I feel this is a safety issue and read many complaints on your web site concerning this. Why hasn't a recall been ordered for this and the speed up issue?.
