My 1995 chrysler concorde with 3.3-litre v6 engine. Vin#[xxx] the engine shuts off during driving. Sometimes the engine restarts on its own immediately while coasting after it shuts off. Sometimes i have to pull off the road and wait a couple of minutes for it to restart. It has been happening about once or twice a week. The local dealership could not diagnose the problem, and at $85/hour diagnostic time, i am reluctant to bring it to them again. Most recently this happened on june 23, 2004. On that day, while driving, the first time time the engine shut down and restarted by itself, the second time later in the day, the engine shut down and i had to restart it a few minutes later. Vin is [xxx]. Mileage is 108,852. Purchased 6/00 at croton dodge, croton-on-hudson, ny. Updated 07/25/2012information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

We took the car to the dealer to have a transmission line leak fixed (replacement of the line). We alos smelled a gasoline smell when starting the car in the morning. The dealer informed us that there was also a fuel leak in a line on the engine.the delaer told us that the line needed to be replaced or it could cause a fire.we let them have the vehicle and they said it would be fixed in a week.three weeks later we were still without the car; the delaer told us that chrysler was not supplying the original factory part for replacement because the part was apparently being redesigned.we asked why an original factory part could not be installed; they said it could, but that the part might not work and we might risk a fire.chrysler did not charge for the part, but we were out of us of the car for about 3 weeks.

Air conditioner failure.
On three separate occasions the air conditioner quit cooling first two times dealer could not find coolant leak. On the second recharge of the cooling system the dealer added a leak detection dye to the system so if it quit working again it would be easyer to find leak. On 7 march 2000 we tested the airconditioner, and again it did not work. Took to different dealer , they found the leak in the evaporater core which was still under warranty. The dealer did repair at no cost to me.but the first two time i had to pay for charging the system. I need to know how get reimbursed for those expenses since it was a warranty item all the time. The charges i incurred totaled to $103.58.
Air conditioning failed to operate properly.
Air conditioning not holding a charge.car was brought to professional air conditioning shop system evacuated and a dyeput in with the freon.the technichan informed me right away that the chrysler corporation has had defects in these systems since day one but will not admit to it.he said that practically every concorde, intrepid, cirrus, jeep that comes in either leaks in one of the three system, evaporator, condensor, dryer.chrysler charges $950.00 to replace the evaporator!!!!i can't afford that cost and will lose substantial money on the sale of the vehicle without a proper working air conditioning system.
In high humidity conditions the a/c cuts off after working for an hour and will not cut back on until ice melts from the evaporator. Dealer has replaced the condensor twice, and problem still exists.

Recall 98v184000/790. Vehicle has a fuel leakage and very strong fuel smell on the outside of the vehicle, the dealer was contacted, and this vehicle does not comply to the recall, even though the problem is the same.
Fuel injection delivery system is leaking due to hair line cracks that developed in the thermo plastic fuel rail. Vehicle was not included in safety recall #98v184000.please give any further details.
I am an insurance adjuster. When the failure was found (leaking fluid down the inner apron and rail ) i checked for a used assy. Since i am out of warranty. Of 2 units i had shipped out i found the same stress fracture on both in the same location. The crack is on the left side of the tank at the mounting point projection. Tank is held in place by a tab on the bottom and 1 bolt into the top/side bracket. I think this could be a oem problem and could lead to steering failure or possible fire. I wanted everyone to be aware and if possible have the problem checked by the proper authorities.thank you.

1995 chrysler concordewill stall while driving down the road.it is an automatic transmission.if you put the car in neutral and turn off the ignition, the car will start again in a few seconds.this happens at any speed, accelerating, decelerating and it was impossible to up a hill whithout the car stalling.we replaced the catalytic converter, and muffler - which we were told were the cause.this worked for about 2 weeks - then the problem started again.now the car wont even start.

Transmission stopped functioning at 65 mph. Vehicle was towed to salem chrysler/plymouth in dayton, ohio. Tow truck driver reported that the dealership had five other concordes in for service with the same problem. Service manager at dealership would only acknowledge that they have had "some problems" with transmissions in the concorde line, but was quick to point that my vehicle was out of warranty. A salesman at another chrysler dealership in ohio was advised of my breakdown without any reference to the vehicle, when he responded, " what does he have, a 95 or 96 concorde?". This seems to be a known problem among chrysler dealerships.
After driving about 1.5 hours at 65 miles per hour, stopped at toll both to get ticket.when starting to go again speedometer failed to work and was stuck at 0.still has not worked since.

Problem seems to start with the transmission clunking then eventually you will start to hear a popping noise in your front end, coming from the tie rod. Thought this was a suspension problem but took to dealer the first time and they replaced my brakes and serviced transmission. Cluncking noise still existed when you let off the gas and the slightly accellerated. Turns out the tie rod, transmission mount andaxle were to blame. Can't tell you about the axle as they told me they would replace but did not show up on repair.i know that there seems to be serious problem with the drive train and suspension in the car. As for the dip stick, the heat created by the engine is cooking the plastic in the colored dipstick to the point it just falls apart.i recently had the tie rod and transmission mount replaced and now have a much worse cluncking noise the same day of the replacement...can i get some help as i feel this car is a serious problem waiting to happen..
Transmission causing shudder when shifting into 4th around 40mph.dealer indicates need transmission rebuild.vehicle has been maintained to owner's maunal specs.i was told that chrylser had a problem cleaning the transmission case at the time mine was manufactured.debris was left in case that can wear transmission excessively.i would like to have chrysler cover the repair even though the warranty has expired.obviously the transmission should not wear out at 50000 miles.thank-you

While having new tires installed on the car the mechanic found the left outer tie rod end worn out. Due to the milage on the car i feel this is premature. In checking your site i am finding stistemic problems with this car and like cars (ie dodge intrepid) also for the model years of 1993,1994,1995. The three major areas i found are air conditioning, steering/ linkages, and transmission which i have the same type of problems with my car. I have reported the air conditioner and the transmission to you a couple of days ago.

I had all recommended servicing done at bothun's (eau claire) on 3-16-99 including transmission fluid change. They reported no problems with the transmission at that date. Within the month i began having difficulty getting the car into reverse. It would shift erratically or not at all.i called bothun on 4-16-99 as problems got worse. They examined the car 4-19-99 and told me the transmission pump/transmission was leaking badly and needed replacing.chrysler customer service offered to pay 75% of the cost after bothun's contacted them about the repair. I was not willing to pay for the repair as i felt it was a premature failure of the transmission with the car having fewer than 50,000 miles. I agreed to have the work done and pay 25% since i need the car,but i feel that chrysler should pay the rest of the bill. It does not seem normal wear and tear for this to happen in a 1995 car with low mileage and good care. My portion of the bill was $433.36 which i would like reimbursed.
While driving vehicle just stopped and wouldbnot go into gear. Contacted dealer, who cannot fix problem. The vehicle was inoperable over 30 days and the consumer is requesting that the dealer issue a full refund of the cost of purchase under the lemon law.
My vehicle doesnot change into second gear. I found out while i was in heavy traffic and became a hazard to other drivers. When in reverse, it has a "clunk" noise when the gas is applied.the problem came all of a sudden without warning. There are also computer and ignition problems with this vehicle. It sounds like there is crackling in the dashboard when the heater is on, the ignition switch cannot be turned all the way to the on position when the car is on or the abs light will come on and prevents function of the heater.
Gear shift hesitates, doesn't shift at all sometimes times.
While driving, the transmission failed.
The transmission was making a popping noise while changing gears.the vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for repairs but the problem recurred.there was overheating and the power brake was delayed. *sc
While driving vehicle will shutter when gears are changed or will stick in second gear.contacted dealer.
Problem seems to start with the transmission clunking then eventually you will start to hear a popping noise in your front end, coming from the tie rod. Thought this was a suspension problem but took to dealer the first time and they replaced my brakes and serviced transmission. Cluncking noise still existed when you let off the gas and the slightly accellerated. Turns out the tie rod, transmission mount andaxle were to blame. Can't tell you about the axle as they told me they would replace but did not show up on repair.i know that there seems to be serious problem with the drive train and suspension in the car. As for the dip stick, the heat created by the engine is cooking the plastic in the colored dipstick to the point it just falls apart.i recently had the tie rod and transmission mount replaced and now have a much worse cluncking noise the same day of the replacement...can i get some help as i feel this car is a serious problem waiting to happen..
Transmission failure, i read that chrysler had a recall on transmissions for the 95 chrysler concorde, due to shifting problems, my 95 chrysler concorde, drove fine and then suddenly stopped, if i shut off the engine, then restart it, it will drive, until it tries to shift to second then it will not drive anymore, at all, until i shut it off and then restart it, then it will immediately drive again. I was told by a mechanic that it is most likely a solenoid shift pack, which was recalled by chrysler.
No summary provided by consumer
Transmission failed to go into reverse, cooler lines replaced.
Burnt fluid is noted on the repair sheet. Dealer was no help at all so went to indep trans. Repair shop. This seems to be a problem with chrysler autos from research i've done on-line and with talking to fred's transmission and clutch [(219)266-2144]. They claim that they constantly get chrysler's in for transmission failures at about the same mileage as mine. Was told that chrysler used poor equipment in the original transmissions. I pray that some day chrysler will realize there's a problem and do a recall for their poor performance of their transmissions.
Transmission gear shifter will not shift. *sd
The floor shifter slips out of gear by the slightest touch. The dealer has been contacted.a small child is able to knock shifter out of gear.please describe further.
The automatic tranmission floor shifter ignition-park interlock has completly malfunction on this car, for my own saftey and the saftey of others i cannot drive it when the inter-lock is drive it starts rolling backwards when i stop at a traffic light i feels this could be very dangerous.*mr
Recall did not resolve the problem with the fuel rail o ring and numerous other expenditures after their repair.the service the consumer received did not correct the problem he was having.the consumer was not able to shut off the engine because the transaxle floor shifter would not go into the park position.the problem created transmission problems.the consumer would like to be reimbursed for money spent on repairs.*tcthe consumer stated when he drives over a bump in the road the gear shift would pop out of drive and into neutral. The water pump was leaking and the gaskets were replaced.the air condition was inoperative, the problem was determined to be short in a wire
Torque converter and reverse gear broke without any warning or symptoms, there were metal chips throughout the transmission, consumer is requesting reimbursement, since the failure happened at such low mileage.

Transmission fail with only 24,000 miles on the vehicle.*et
We took the car to the dealer to have a transmission line leak fixed (replacement of the line). We alos smelled a gasoline smell when starting the car in the morning. The dealer informed us that there was also a fuel leak in a line on the engine.the delaer told us that the line needed to be replaced or it could cause a fire.we let them have the vehicle and they said it would be fixed in a week.three weeks later we were still without the car; the delaer told us that chrysler was not supplying the original factory part for replacement because the part was apparently being redesigned.we asked why an original factory part could not be installed; they said it could, but that the part might not work and we might risk a fire.chrysler did not charge for the part, but we were out of us of the car for about 3 weeks.

Drivers side electric window controls inoperative and automatic transmission not working properly
We are now about to put in our 3rd 95 cirrus transmission and 2nd 95 concorde transmission and feel that chrysler should pay for the cost of repairs.i have shelled out nearly $12,000 between the two cars in the last 6 years for repeated failures in engines, water pumps, steering assembly failures, transmissions, brake systems, radios, air conditioners, fuel rails, alternators and computer pcm's to name a few.by far the worst quality cars and highest cost of ownership of any cars i have owned in the last 30 years.something major goes wrong with these cars every few months.
1995 chrysler concorde with approximately 122,000 miles became unsafe to drive due to excessive play in the steering/an inability to control the car.the dealer identified the problem as inner tie rod bushings.within the same week, the driver's seat belt came unbolted from the car.
Passenger's side seat belt won't rewind.consumer has had it replaced 3 times since they've had the vehicle. Dealer told them that the seat belts weren't adjustable.
Driver side seat belt is difficult to fasten.
The latch plate on driver's side seat belt is of a different design than the other seat belts, therefore it is impossible to keep the lap belt tight.
Consumer was in an accident the driver side seat belt didn't restrain.tt
Hit from the rear and on impact the drivers seat fully reclined and the seatbelt did not restrain. Please describe.tt
The driver back seat bracket broke.
The driver and passenger seat broke.
The drivers side power seat broke.the bracket holding up the back of the seat cracked and eventually split in half, causing the seat back to fall to the back seat. This problem has been recalled on 93 and 94 models, and chrysler refuses to admit there is a problem with 95 models.even though alldata.com states that the problem has been found on 93 and 94 models the same day that it has been found on 95 models, still there is no recall.the part was on backorder for 9 months, still no recall, how many people have to have this problem, and if someone has this problem and gets into an accident, the possibility of a fatal injury has to be greatly increased.why won't chrysler admit this?the problem is with the bottom bracket power drivers side seat.
No deployment of driver's/passenger's air bag during a collision.alsofront passenger's seat fell back upon impact, causingpassenger (wife) to slip under the seat belts. Hit the dashboard and sustained injuries.
Hit from the rear and on impact the drivers seat fully reclined and the seatbelt did not restrain. Please describe.tt
Right side of back of driver' seatback support has broken. Please add further details.
While in accident the passenger seat back collapsed.
Driver's side seatback separated fromtrack.whenconsumer appliesbrakes seat surges forward. Manufacturer has been notified.
While driving at 35 mphdriver's side seat bracket broke and the seat declined backwards. This reduced the driver's visibility. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle,and pulled off the road. The seat was propped up with a wooden block.the bracket hasn't been replaced thus far.
Rusted brake lines caused brake system to fail.
In a "panic stop " situation the abs controller modulated and reduced very significantly the braking effort when the driver slammed on the brakes on dry pavement.while braking the driver also maneuvered into the k rail to reduce speed and almost avoided a collision.the air bags did not deploy and were not needed as the final crash was at low speed.

Severe handling problemenormouse amout of play in steering
My wife was driving our 1995 chrysler concorde when she lost total steering control while making a left hand turn causing car to go over curb damaging a sign at the warren public library and significant damage to the car.upon inspection, it has been found that the tie rod linkage into the rack and pinion had broken off.
While driving vehicle about 35 mph, the air conditioner/power windows did not work; the abs brake light came on. The power door locks worked. Called dealer & told will check vehicle out.
Vehicle pulled intodriveway andsteering separated from the front wheel and collapsed.consumer was just drivingbetween 50-60mph before reaching the destination.mechanic found a bolt connected tosteering and wheel had busted.
Transmission stopped functioning at 65 mph. Vehicle was towed to salem chrysler/plymouth in dayton, ohio. Tow truck driver reported that the dealership had five other concordes in for service with the same problem. Service manager at dealership would only acknowledge that they have had "some problems" with transmissions in the concorde line, but was quick to point that my vehicle was out of warranty. A salesman at another chrysler dealership in ohio was advised of my breakdown without any reference to the vehicle, when he responded, " what does he have, a 95 or 96 concorde?". This seems to be a known problem among chrysler dealerships.

On oct. 31, 2003 i purchased a 1995 chrysler concorde. Within 6 months i had to replace the steering bushings. On jan 26, 2005 i was driving with my family on interstate 40, when i noticed alot of play in the steering and some veering off to the left. I immediately got off the highway almost side swiping a semi as a result of the loose steering and veering. I made it 3 miles before the steering went out completely with my tires facing opposite directions. The chrysler dealer where i purchased this certified pre-owned car has estimated the cost of repair to my rack and pinion to be over $2,000.this is not the first of the chrysler 1993-1999 lh steering problems! i was lucky as was my wife, 4year old son and 9 month old baby!! if i had not noticed the change in my steering, i and my family would have been injured at the very least. Please do not discount this very dangerous and repeating problem because noone has died yet. Is that really a chance we should be taking?

Car has been totaled.it appeared to be in perfect condition before the sudden incident. I want to know if a recalled component may have been responsible for the sudden acceleration and loss of control. Auto also hit 2 parked cars and lifted a rock (approx. 500 lbs) out of the ground during the accident. The drivers door locked on its own, while the front passenger door flew open on its own.the automatic windows blewout during the incident. This incident occurred while backing out of a parking space at low speed. Mechanical defect is most likely the cause. Please investigate.
While normal driving, suddenly cruise control turns on, and the vehicle won't speed up even if i press gas pedal; the vehicle slows down and finally stops. It happened about 3 times before november this year(between 100,000miles and 124,000miles) and 2 times out of 4 long distance drivings(about 50 miles) this month.
On two different occasion, accelerator jammed to the floor without any effort, last time resulted in a accident.

1995 concorde, when pressing on the gas pedal it felt as though it was stuck. Consumer then pulled off the side of the road and put vehicle in park after attempt to stop car and vehicle was still racing while in park. The consumer felt as though she had no control of the vehicle.the dealer replaced theauto idle, but they could not guarantee that the problem would not happen again.
Accelerator/brake pedal too close together.*aw
Accelerator jammed twice resulting in two accidents.
Vehicle suddenly accelerated while changing gears from reverse to drive.last incident caused a three car collisionwhile in the parking lot. There wereno injuries.dealer/manufacturerwere not notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further details.
We are now about to put in our 3rd 95 cirrus transmission and 2nd 95 concorde transmission and feel that chrysler should pay for the cost of repairs.i have shelled out nearly $12,000 between the two cars in the last 6 years for repeated failures in engines, water pumps, steering assembly failures, transmissions, brake systems, radios, air conditioners, fuel rails, alternators and computer pcm's to name a few.by far the worst quality cars and highest cost of ownership of any cars i have owned in the last 30 years.something major goes wrong with these cars every few months.
Owner put rear defroster on and then the window shattered.
Heater malfunctioned.
Heat duct panel under the dash board/on driver's side is not fastened properly in place.
Water pump failed.

Air conditioning not holding a charge.car was brought to professional air conditioning shop system evacuated and a dyeput in with the freon.the technichan informed me right away that the chrysler corporation has had defects in these systems since day one but will not admit to it.he said that practically every concorde, intrepid, cirrus, jeep that comes in either leaks in one of the three system, evaporator, condensor, dryer.chrysler charges $950.00 to replace the evaporator!!!!i can't afford that cost and will lose substantial money on the sale of the vehicle without a proper working air conditioning system.
