Air bag clock spring failed.(consumer is attorney).
On 09/11/03 i purchased a used 1993 chrysler concorde. About a month later the low fuel gauge and airbag lights started coming on,nd my tank is at least half full all the time.the problem is that i never know when the lights will come on and when they do, it causes the vehicle to sometimes stall and jerk violently as if i've been hit from the rear and gas fumes are so strong that i have to drive with the windows down.i took the car back to the dealership and spoke with private mechanics and explained it to them but noone could find any problem.i recently found a website listing persons with some of the same problems i've experienced with this vehicle and find it amazing that we haven't all become a fatality because of the many problems with it.i have a hood that won't stay up, a trunk that sometimes opens by itself, the gauges on the instrument panel goes off and the heater comes on atfull speed, acceleration when changing gears from parking to drive and on and on.i understand that problems come with used cars but some of these issuses werethere when the car was brand new and was recalled.i will be going to the dealership again, only this time i will have some ofthese issues in wirting and hopefully they can give me a better answer than."i foundnothing"(except my money).before this car i drove a 1994 plymouth acclaim which i bought in 1995.it served me really well for 8 years with me driving back and forth to myhometown in mississippi, sometimes twice a year.the adjustments made on it were normal for wear and tear after that long,and it did make some of the same noises as the concorde,but i don't think i'll be buying another chrysler vehicle after i trade this one.i pray that it doesn't catch fire or blow up before i can.

1993 chrysler concorde - 3.3 liter v6factory installed options:power windowspower lockspower trunk releasea/ccruise controlanti-lock brakes(traction control option not installed)(power radio antenna not installed)(optional transmission cooler radiator installed)(all factory recalls were completed on this particular car)current ongoing issues with car:1)horn randomly goes off in warmer weather (80 f +) due to possible steering wheel construction issues or computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue.2)electric trunk door opens at random and when this occurs, the door locks open by themselves and the horn goes off due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue.3)instrument cluster gages shut off during driving and when this happens the transmission will shift itself into 1st gear or into reverse while in city traffic or on the freeway (regardless of current speed) due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. (this is usually fun to experience while on the freeway at 70 mph+)! not! (rpms shoot up to over 6,000+)4)instrument cluster does not work on engine start and when this occurs, the transmission is stuck in 2nd gear and will not down or up shift while driving until instrument cluster decides to work again due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue.5)the front end was never in an accident, but, when i turn sharp to the right or left while parking or just pulling out of a driveway or onto a road from a parked position, the drive shafts or struts or arms themselves seem to shift and clunk very loudly (similar to a 40 lb. Sledge hammer being swung into your sub-frame in the front end). I have taken this car to 3 chrysler dealerships and 4 private garages and no one has figured it out. I replaced (2 front drive axles, 4 struts, stutt mounts, lower ball joints, tie rods, all rubber bushings in front end, rear sway bar and bushings).

The helena chrysler dealership made all repairs to the fuel rail.there was a fuel leak from the fuel rail--the fuel rail was replaced as well as "o" rings and gaskets. I did contact the chrysler corp. However they said they were unable to help me and refused to comment on the extreme safety issue.and at the time of the phone call april, 1998 i had to take my car back to the dealership and have the same 'o' rings and gaskets replaced because the intake manifold gaskets failed.i called to find out if there had been any recalls for my car and if any were associated with the fuel rail.at that time there wasn't a recall.i would appreciate any help you can provide and if i can be refunded any money for repairs that would be great!!

The air condition housing leaks.please describe.tt
While drivingair conditioner compressor locked up,causing the fan belt to burn up. Driver was able to pull to the shoulder of the road safely. The dealer was called about the problem. The problem has not been corrected. Please provide any further information.
The air conditioner suddenly stopped working and was diagnosed with a failed evaporator coil. I questioned how an evaporator coil could fail, since in my experience having owned more than 80 vehicles i have never heard of an evaporator coil just failing for no apparent reason. I was informed that the materials used to manufacture the evaporator coil are subject to corrosion and rapid failure when the system is charged with r-134 refrigerant. Those systems that failed prior to reaching 70,000 miles were replaced free of charge by the manufacturer, but no attempt was made to notify customers that there was a problem with the components unless the system actually failed. Those of us who had these failures occur after the 70,000 mile cutoff are faced with approximately $1,000 in repair costs. The really terrible part about this is that the dealer informed me the system will probably fail again within 2 years and there is no better component available to eliminate this problem. He also indicated that this is not a problem unique to chrysler, rather all manufacturers are experiencing similar problems after switching to the new refrigerants. It appears that the consumers have been duped again.
Air conditioning evaporator coil unit failed several times, condenser unit failed once resulting in leaking.

I was pulling out of my parking spot, i had to turn the steering wheel almost all the way to the rite to get out. When my front tires came off the drive way( or curb) i heard a snap. My tires wouldnt move after that. The steeriing wheel would move but my tires wouldnt. I had to pay $150 to have it towed to a an auto shop ($50), have them look at it and tell me what had happened($70), and have it towed back($50). The auto shop told me that two bolts that hold the tie rods to the rack and pinion had snaped in half. They wanted $820 to fix it. I had them tow it back to my parking spot. I took the rack and pinion out myself and got the bolts out. I am still in the process of fixing this problem. My wife had looked online to see if this problem had happened to anyone else. She found that this has happened to quite a few people. I have a friend who ownes a 1994 dodge intrepid. My friend said the same thing happened to his car. He was driving when it happened to him, he lost control of his car and was hit by another car. My wife found a story of a couple of people that had this problem and it ended up taking the lives of there 18 yr old daughter and her boyfriend. I couldnt find a recall for it on your website. I dont know if you or the company's who have built these cars know of this problem. It would be much appreciated if it were investagaed. Before it takes anymore lives.

On 09/11/03 i purchased a used 1993 chrysler concorde. About a month later the low fuel gauge and airbag lights started coming on,nd my tank is at least half full all the time.the problem is that i never know when the lights will come on and when they do, it causes the vehicle to sometimes stall and jerk violently as if i've been hit from the rear and gas fumes are so strong that i have to drive with the windows down.i took the car back to the dealership and spoke with private mechanics and explained it to them but noone could find any problem.i recently found a website listing persons with some of the same problems i've experienced with this vehicle and find it amazing that we haven't all become a fatality because of the many problems with it.i have a hood that won't stay up, a trunk that sometimes opens by itself, the gauges on the instrument panel goes off and the heater comes on atfull speed, acceleration when changing gears from parking to drive and on and on.i understand that problems come with used cars but some of these issuses werethere when the car was brand new and was recalled.i will be going to the dealership again, only this time i will have some ofthese issues in wirting and hopefully they can give me a better answer than."i foundnothing"(except my money).before this car i drove a 1994 plymouth acclaim which i bought in 1995.it served me really well for 8 years with me driving back and forth to myhometown in mississippi, sometimes twice a year.the adjustments made on it were normal for wear and tear after that long,and it did make some of the same noises as the concorde,but i don't think i'll be buying another chrysler vehicle after i trade this one.i pray that it doesn't catch fire or blow up before i can.
