This 1994 chrysler has had constant problems, most recent being the windhsield wipers flew up and stuck while on the freeway in the rain going 55mph. Exhaust smells bad, starter is bad, air conditioner ticks when turned off for a few seconds. As a newly single mother of 4 boys looking for employment that i can get to and from reliably, so i can take care of my family myself eventually, the last thing i ever should have to worry about is a car that is only 10 years old. Especially since chrysler is showing all the beatiful new chrysler products i will never be able to have. I love my car, but i am more than disappointed in what i still have $3,000 left to pay on a used car.

I have had more problems with this chrysler than any car i have driven. It is not yet ten years old, but i have had brake work done at least three times totaling 1500.00+dollars. My air conditioning fails every year. The bars on the outside of the car have begun to peel away from the main body. Three inside door handles have broken off from the inside, and i dont even use my rear doors. This will cost me 150.00 per door without including labor. My car is in the shop now because the mechanic is checking it for transmission failure. The rear trans. Mount and mount bushings have been replaced and need to be replaced again. The alignment is off because it needs new lower control arms now. Without the transmission failing this is 900.00 worth of work. I have never been able to get anything from chrysler except an emailed, "i'm sorry...thank you for buying chrysler" if i ever get this car out of the shop, i will not buy chrysler again. I have spent thousands of dollars on various repairs on this car and it is only 9 years old!

I have a 1994 chrysler concorde that i purchased new. I have experienced more problems with this single vehicle than 12 other vehicles i have owned combined. Here are some of the items that chrysler refused to fix while the car was still under warranty: the gas cylinders that hold the hood up became weak and the hood struck me on the back of my head while i was changing the oil. The trunk lid will also fall and hit you on the head. One of the rear inside door latches broke and chrysler also refused to fix that. I decided to fix the door latch myself and the parts needed to fix the door had been on back order for 6 months. I had to buy a complete door panel at a salvage yard to fix a simple door latch handle. The most recent and serious safety complaint that i have happened on 10-12-03. My wife was driving this vehicle and i was the passenger along with 2 other passengers. While approaching a bridge and oncoming traffic we hit a bump in the highway and the car died. My wife nearly panicked as she could not steer the car. She then turned the ignition switch back on and the car restarted. The ignition switch turned itself off by simply hitting a bump in the road, something we all do every time we drive. I consider this last incident to be very serious and felt like someone needed to be informed. I realize that this vehicle is 10 years old but it has less than 75,000 miles on it. While this car was under warranty the engine was rebuilt, the transmission was worked on, windshield motor went out, and the air conditioner quit. Also a seat rail broke and chrysler also refused to fix that. To sum things up, this was the first chrysler product that i had ever purchased and it will definitely be the last. *la

Headlights seemed to have more light on low than high beam.
Headlight lens cover that becomes fogged on the inside is a very serious problem. The replacement cost is $175.00 each making very exspensive to mantain.

I have a 1994 chrysler concorde that i purchased new. I have experienced more problems with this single vehicle than 12 other vehicles i have owned combined. Here are some of the items that chrysler refused to fix while the car was still under warranty: the gas cylinders that hold the hood up became weak and the hood struck me on the back of my head while i was changing the oil. The trunk lid will also fall and hit you on the head. One of the rear inside door latches broke and chrysler also refused to fix that. I decided to fix the door latch myself and the parts needed to fix the door had been on back order for 6 months. I had to buy a complete door panel at a salvage yard to fix a simple door latch handle. The most recent and serious safety complaint that i have happened on 10-12-03. My wife was driving this vehicle and i was the passenger along with 2 other passengers. While approaching a bridge and oncoming traffic we hit a bump in the highway and the car died. My wife nearly panicked as she could not steer the car. She then turned the ignition switch back on and the car restarted. The ignition switch turned itself off by simply hitting a bump in the road, something we all do every time we drive. I consider this last incident to be very serious and felt like someone needed to be informed. I realize that this vehicle is 10 years old but it has less than 75,000 miles on it. While this car was under warranty the engine was rebuilt, the transmission was worked on, windshield motor went out, and the air conditioner quit. Also a seat rail broke and chrysler also refused to fix that. To sum things up, this was the first chrysler product that i had ever purchased and it will definitely be the last. *la
All three bolts that secures the tailgate latch fell out.tt
Hood latch failed.
The gas cylinder that holds the hood up malfunctioned, causing the hood to slam down and place a dent in the hood.may have caused injuries.
Consumer went to openvehicleto remove an oil cap, and the hood came down on him,hitting him in the back of head and back.
The trunk lid on this vehicle will sudden drop on your head. It has hit me several times. No warning. It can be in the up position while i am unloading my groceries and then suddenly "bang!"i get socked by this trunk lid.the hood will not stay up either but it doesnt suddenly drop just goes down and wont stay up. I warn the service technicians when they check my oil to be careful or they could get injured.there is no way to adjust the trunk or the hood.the dealer says its about $300.00 to fix both. I have never had a car which the trunk fell on me or the hood will not stay up. Can you help me with this problem i am afraid i will be knocked out late at nite while loading at the supermarket and its a scary thought forolder women alone at nite.

The transmission snatch or jerk.
This 1994 chrysler has had constant problems, most recent being the windhsield wipers flew up and stuck while on the freeway in the rain going 55mph. Exhaust smells bad, starter is bad, air conditioner ticks when turned off for a few seconds. As a newly single mother of 4 boys looking for employment that i can get to and from reliably, so i can take care of my family myself eventually, the last thing i ever should have to worry about is a car that is only 10 years old. Especially since chrysler is showing all the beatiful new chrysler products i will never be able to have. I love my car, but i am more than disappointed in what i still have $3,000 left to pay on a used car.
Headlight lens cover that becomes fogged on the inside is a very serious problem. The replacement cost is $175.00 each making very exspensive to mantain. The original should be glass,this would make it less dangerous for night driving. I went to a dealer about transmission, but they said there was no recall on that. Imformation i received from you it is supposed to be repaired at no cost???? help !!!

My 1994 chrysler concord 3.3 (flex fuel) liter shuts down while in operation.my heater only blows hot air, fuel can be smelled while vechile is running, mil code 12,11,41 have been displayed,fog or mist coats the inside windows everyday,the front end of my car feel like it's going to rip loose.i've installed a new fuel filter, fuel pump, had my air conditioner recharged, new catalytic converter installed,new o2 sensers,fuel injection cleaning service performed,transmission replaced,differential replaced, outer tie rods replaced and have kept up on regularly scheduled oil and fluid changes.my vechile is not safe to drive,me and my family are in harms way from the time we get in the car until we all exit the vechile.i inspected under the hood of my car and found a large puddle of gasoline gathered on top of my front differentail housing.i called dwayne lanes dodge of everett and was told that there has never been any recalls for my car.my car still over heats,stalls,shutsdown while in motion,smells of gasoline,surges,and the rack and pinnion slide out of the lame rubber gaskets that mount them to the frame of my car whenever i turn a corner. *la
Ongoing / intermittent problem with vehicle:between 5-10 mph while slowing downit causes a violent jerk and wheels appear to lock up. Dealer notified.
Transmission failed three times.
The transmission in my car failed on 5/6/02.the failure consisted of two types.in one type of failure, the transmission would act like it was in neutral when it was actually in drive, while traveling at highway speeds of 60 mph.in the second type of failure, the car would not shift above second gear.i called my local chrysler dealer to ask if the transmission would be repaired for free, and was told no.subsequently, i had a chrysler rebuilt transmission installed by an independent garage at a cost of almost $2500.00.this rebuilt transmission came with a 3 year/36,000 mile chrysler warranty.in less than two months (and 1600 miles)this transmission failed in the exact same way.the independent garage installed a new chrysler rebuilt transmission at no cgarge to me.i feel there is ample evidence that the transmission in this vehicle is of inferior design and/or workmanship.if you have ever had your transmission fail in this manner while traveling at highway speeds you know it is definitely a safety hazard.i feel that chrysler shouldreimburse me for some if not all of the $2500.00 that i paid to fix this product.
Was driving on interstate in very heavy traffic and all of a sudden car downshifted to 2ndat about 40 miles per hr and would not up shift.managed to pull to shoulder of road and onto axcess road.stopped car tried to put in gear and had none except reverse .shut off motor restarted and put in low gear and was able to ease car off road at about 5 miles per hour.had car towed to transission shop and was determined by there puting on computer that overdrive was out.i contacted car dealer as i had just purchased the car 26 days before.he said i was totally responsible for problemi see there has been a lot of complaints on this problem and and hope you can help. Thanks.
While driving at freeway speeds, the transmission shifts into low gear in a sudden and unexpected manner.this causes the engine to reach a "red line" condition within a fraction of a second, and causes the car to reduce speed in a very short period of time.since the break lights are not activated, this situation poses a serious safety hazzard, as the car behind may be unable to avoid a collision from the totally unexpected and un-signaled breaking action. This condition happened about 6 times within about a one hour period, while the headlights were on.the next day the transmission performed normally, while the headlights were off.the car has not been used at night time since this incident, and has not had the downshifting problem when run during the day time.there are no signs of an alternator failure, such as dim lights or a dead battery. The previous owner say that he replaced the transmission, but did not offer any further explaination as to why the transmission needed replacement.
While driving at highway speeds, the engine shuts down, causing the vehicle to stall. Also replaced transmission.
Vehicle jerks into second gear, causing car to lunge forward.
Transmission gear failed.
At, transmission will down shift while driving at lower speed 2 gears.tt
Transmission went out at 13,351 miles., causing vehicle to shimmy.tt
The transmission does not engage into the reverse gear right away. The vehicle also shudders when overdrive kicksinwhile driving 30-40 mph. This problem was due to leaky transmission seals. The seals will be replaced.
The original transmission has been replaced 2 times.we now need to replace it a third time.including the original transmission this means an approximately 7 year old car has gone through 4 transmissions or approximately 1 every 18 months.this is definately a defect.
Transmission keeps slipping into low gear,causing a loss of power,almost dies. Dealer has rebuilt transmission, but defect still occurs.
Driving the vehicle at speed of 50mph, vehicle down shifts in 3rd gear and will shift back in drive and down first gear will up shift,stop vehicle and restart.
Transmission failed without warning.
Transmission failed to shift into overdrive. Took to dealer & informed needed to be overhauled. Picked vehicle up & was leaking pink fluid. Left vehicle. Went back & picked vehicle up & left it in garage. Later noticed a large puddle under transmission. Was told by mechanic it was the water pump & needed replacing. Also, transmission overheated.
Water pump/timing belthas been replaced and car is still having problems with overheating whenever driving 30 miles. Also, replaced abs module controller. In addition, right steering tie rod rubbed against transmission wiring harness, causing transmission failure/stalling prior to recall, recall repairs performed. (94v-024).
Automatic transmission locks in second gear and vehicle cannot be driven until engine cools.
When driving and making a stop, the vehicle will just stall. Whenpressing the gas pedal and will not move,have to cut the vehicle off and restart again.then the vehicle will jerk and then move.took the vehicle to the dealer,and they had to rebuilt the transmission because the clutch had gone out.
While drivingand shifting gears, transmission went dead except in reverse. Dealer rebuilt transmission.
Transmission has difficulty shifting.
At just 43,000 miles i experienced catastrophic transmission failure.the repair cost over $1400.now, 13,000 miles and 14 months later i am experiencing the exact same trouble.this essentially equates to an additonal $100 per month in operating expenses.
While driving home from out of town my car locked in 2nd gear.still was able to get it home.had dealer check it out and found it is seal/clutch failure with limp in ...this is associated with the known defect of this transmission 42le.there are several service bulletins on this and alot of the exact same failures.been researching on the net..class action suit may also be pending regarding this defect and chryler refusing to recall...set up file with chrylser this am #8117947. They refused goodwill repair so far with standard excuse, vehicle is out of 3yr/36000 mile warrany...despite tsb"s. This has been a serious and ongoing problem with this tranny and chrysler knows. They try to get out of repairing cars with this defect but usually end having to pay some in small claims ct etc.i was told we have to really fight since this is a know defect. $1400.00 to repair it.researching on the net i find chrysler knows abt the defect and had know for a very long time..even developing a new type ofseal set for these tranny's..except they won't recall the thousand of vehicles and install the new redesigned kit unless they are forced too.it is a design flaw ..lots of info on this on the net...lots of tsb's on this tranny too..wish you would force a recall! thanks marion.
Transmission will just stop working, while driving or while sitting at a stop.
Transmission failed.
Gas struts support the hood when raised on this vehicle, in lieu of the more traditional springs or prop.apparently, when the car moves from a moderate temperature environment to a cold environment after a few years of service, these gas struts will not adequately support the weight of the hood, which then falls on the driver's head as he checks the oil, causing lacerations and potentially a concussion or other serious injury.the transmission, with age, in very cold weather, can refuse to shift into a forward gear after backing the car out onto a roadway, causing a major potential for a serious accident.this very dangerous propensity should trigger a recall by chrysler to foreclose serious injuries and accidents.
There has been 119 sevice bulletins on this vehicle-12 0n transmission related problems -never recalled yet problems like mine are very familiar to dealer and chrysler-both say sorry, out of warrenty-it is unreasonable to pay $25,000 for a new vehicle,maintain it properly with no abuse,and have the drive train last at least 100,000 miles??
Transmission replaced due to failure to change gears. *sd
After the car spun out in a snow storm, a transmission line connection failed.the car was driven until it would not move.i am assuming the transmission oil was depleted.the driver complained of jerking, etc. And having to rev the engine quite a lot to get the car moving.the transmission would grab and slip, etc.the dealer now states that other than the replacement of the line fitting and transmission lfuids, there could not have been further damage. However, the transmission continues to slip and grab at low speed from a stop and slips when using passing gear.what damage could have been incurred by running the transmission dry over a ten mile drive.i am following up on thi for my mother in law who is currently hospitalized.thank you.
While driving vehicle was very sluggish on hills/ shifted down to 2nd gear from drive and hill climbing became easier. However, transmission would not shift back to drive.
Transmission makes rumbling sound and failed afterwords.yh
Vehicle was in dealer for repairs of unrelated component when i was called and told there was a tear in the frame rail. Inspecting the tear it at one of the left side area adjacent to where the cradle assembly bolts to the frame rail. Comparing the failed rail to the right hand rail it appears a reinforcing channel that should be inside the frame rail to distribute the loads from the cradle assembly is missing. Vehicle had a new transmission installed in july 1998, and the transmission was inspected in jan 1999. Failure appears to be a fatigue type as it is ragged and has failed some of the frame rail welds. Chrsler's area rep has supposedly looked at it and i was told he said that it could not be a factory defect or it would have failed long before now. Car was driven very lightly until around sept 1996 and since then has been driven normally. The vehicle is still sitting at the dealers as they don't seem to know how to fix it, regardless of who pays for the repair.
When preceeding from a stop light into an intersectionvehicle hesitates and will not shift into gear, cause unknown. The customer had a major transmission repair done regarding the hesitation problem, which is due to flows in design of the transmission.

The back seat brackets on the drivers seat are broken.nlm
Seat began to fail in spring 2000, finally had to replace seat assembly in aug 2000.one side was completely broken,the other broken nearly all the way through.dangerous as it could have failed while driving and caused an accident.did not contact dealer because no recall had been received, but later heard that there may have been a recall or other similar problems reported.

Driver's side seat (power) rail had broken. Right side of driver's seat moves & shifts when vehicle accelerates or brakes applied. Left okay.
Power seat glides cracking/falling out of seat tracks, causing seats to be unstable.
Approximately two weeks ago i received a recall notice from chrysler regarding a possible defect in the drivers side power seat.i inspected the seat assembly and found that no problem existed at this time .the instructions indicate for me to keep the recall notice in the event the component fails at a later date.while inspecting the rails that the seats slide on, i discovered that the plastic wear pads that the upper rail slide on then moving the seat foreward or rearward were broken.i checked the passenger side assembly and found the same pieces were broken.i contacted chrysler regarding these broken pieces and explained to them that this is a potential safety hazard and inquired if they would consider replacing these broken items due to the fact that the car has very low mileage.they refused to consider replacing these items even though both seats rock side to side and forward if pushed from behind.i checked with the parts department to order replacement wear pads to install in the rails and was told that there is no replacement available.the only way to correct the problem is to buy the entire power seat mechanisms for both seats.the cost for this is well over one thousand two hundred dollars.i believe that this is a wide spread problem with this particular make and model of vehicle, and believe if you were to look at any random sample of like vehicles,you will find nearly every one with the same problem.these broken components could cause the seat to tilt while cornering and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

I have had more problems with this chrysler than any car i have driven. It is not yet ten years old, but i have had brake work done at least three times totaling 1500.00+dollars. My air conditioning fails every year. The bars on the outside of the car have begun to peel away from the main body. Three inside door handles have broken off from the inside, and i dont even use my rear doors. This will cost me 150.00 per door without including labor. My car is in the shop now because the mechanic is checking it for transmission failure. The rear trans. Mount and mount bushings have been replaced and need to be replaced again. The alignment is off because it needs new lower control arms now. Without the transmission failing this is 900.00 worth of work. I have never been able to get anything from chrysler except an emailed, "i'm sorry...thank you for buying chrysler" if i ever get this car out of the shop, i will not buy chrysler again. I have spent thousands of dollars on various repairs on this car and it is only 9 years old!

I have had more problems with this chrysler than any car i have driven. It is not yet ten years old, but i have had brake work done at least three times totaling 1500.00+dollars. My air conditioning fails every year. The bars on the outside of the car have begun to peel away from the main body. Three inside door handles have broken off from the inside, and i dont even use my rear doors. This will cost me 150.00 per door without including labor. My car is in the shop now because the mechanic is checking it for transmission failure. The rear trans. Mount and mount bushings have been replaced and need to be replaced again. The alignment is off because it needs new lower control arms now. Without the transmission failing this is 900.00 worth of work. I have never been able to get anything from chrysler except an emailed, "i'm sorry...thank you for buying chrysler" if i ever get this car out of the shop, i will not buy chrysler again. I have spent thousands of dollars on various repairs on this car and it is only 9 years old!

I believe the failure existed when i bought the car from sierra motors in april of 2000 but i was unable to recognize it at the time because i had never driven a vehicle with this problem before.i had the car in about 1 week after i bought it due to fuel line failure and asked them to check the undercarriage while they were at it and they said they found nothing wrong.the longer i had the car, the worse it got until i had to take it back and told them it seems to walk when i drive it and something must be wrong with the under carriage of the car.this time they did find it but they said it did not have a recall on it.my daughter found a recall on the 1994 concord for this problem and i want to find out why my car is not included and what i can do to get it included. Thank you.jeanette yarbrough.

Trunk lid will not stay up unless its completely open.tt
Gas struts support the hood when raised on this vehicle, in lieu of the more traditional springs or prop.apparently, when the car moves from a moderate temperature environment to a cold environment after a few years of service, these gas struts will not adequately support the weight of the hood, which then falls on the driver's head as he checks the oil, causing lacerations and potentially a concussion or other serious injury.the transmission, with age, in very cold weather, can refuse to shift into a forward gear after backing the car out onto a roadway, causing a major potential for a serious accident.this very dangerous propensity should trigger a recall by chrysler to foreclose serious injuries and accidents.
I have a 1994 chrysler concorde that i purchased new. I have experienced more problems with this single vehicle than 12 other vehicles i have owned combined. Here are some of the items that chrysler refused to fix while the car was still under warranty: the gas cylinders that hold the hood up became weak and the hood struck me on the back of my head while i was changing the oil. The trunk lid will also fall and hit you on the head. One of the rear inside door latches broke and chrysler also refused to fix that. I decided to fix the door latch myself and the parts needed to fix the door had been on back order for 6 months. I had to buy a complete door panel at a salvage yard to fix a simple door latch handle. The most recent and serious safety complaint that i have happened on 10-12-03. My wife was driving this vehicle and i was the passenger along with 2 other passengers. While approaching a bridge and oncoming traffic we hit a bump in the highway and the car died. My wife nearly panicked as she could not steer the car. She then turned the ignition switch back on and the car restarted. The ignition switch turned itself off by simply hitting a bump in the road, something we all do every time we drive. I consider this last incident to be very serious and felt like someone needed to be informed. I realize that this vehicle is 10 years old but it has less than 75,000 miles on it. While this car was under warranty the engine was rebuilt, the transmission was worked on, windshield motor went out, and the air conditioner quit. Also a seat rail broke and chrysler also refused to fix that. To sum things up, this was the first chrysler product that i had ever purchased and it will definitely be the last. *la

The subframe cracked, dismounting the lower control arm, causing the vehicle to shaking very badly.consumer pulled to the side. The dealer has been contacted.
Rear axle broke due to frame rail with hair line cracks. Dealer/manufacturer notified and refused to repair unless cost goes to consumer. Can nhtsa help in this matter.
Vehicle was in dealer for repairs of unrelated component when i was called and told there was a tear in the frame rail. Inspecting the tear it at one of the left side area adjacent to where the cradle assembly bolts to the frame rail. Comparing the failed rail to the right hand rail it appears a reinforcing channel that should be inside the frame rail to distribute the loads from the cradle assembly is missing. Vehicle had a new transmission installed in july 1998, and the transmission was inspected in jan 1999. Failure appears to be a fatigue type as it is ragged and has failed some of the frame rail welds. Chrsler's area rep has supposedly looked at it and i was told he said that it could not be a factory defect or it would have failed long before now. Car was driven very lightly until around sept 1996 and since then has been driven normally. The vehicle is still sitting at the dealers as they don't seem to know how to fix it, regardless of who pays for the repair.
After taking car into dealer for recall repairs on a rustedframe, and immediately after getting car back fromdealer,heard a clunking noise. Consumer felt it may be coming from suspension.

This 1994 chrysler has had constant problems, most recent being the windhsield wipers flew up and stuck while on the freeway in the rain going 55mph. Exhaust smells bad, starter is bad, air conditioner ticks when turned off for a few seconds. As a newly single mother of 4 boys looking for employment that i can get to and from reliably, so i can take care of my family myself eventually, the last thing i ever should have to worry about is a car that is only 10 years old. Especially since chrysler is showing all the beatiful new chrysler products i will never be able to have. I love my car, but i am more than disappointed in what i still have $3,000 left to pay on a used car.

Our vehicle has stalled on numerous occasions while in motion. This is unsafe, and could possibly result in an accident, since when the vehicle stalls there is no power steering after the vehicle stalls. Sometimes the rpms drop down to near zero and the cruise control light comes on before it stalls.occasionally the vehicle does not completely stall, and the engine recovers, resulting in a strong jerk. Also occasionally the car just jerks noticeably to strongly while driving.this has been going on noticeably for a few months, and we have had numerous repairs to our vehicle that have (potentially falsely) been diagnosed.
