1993 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Power Train Problems

WHILE SHIFTING TRANSMISSION PIN SHAFT SHEARED OFF. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND TOWED IT THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WHEN RUNNING DOWN HIGHWAY CAR WILL DROP INTO SECOND GEAR, DEALER CANNOT FIX. *AK

TRANSMISSION "NEUTRALIZES" WHEN SLOWING DOWN THEN "SLAMS" INTO GEAR WHEN YOU START TO ACCELERATE.*AK

CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AS EVIDENCED BY MANY OTHER ENTRIES / COMPLAINTS. INFORMATION GATHERED FROM WEBSITE (DEFECTIVE CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION). IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ALLOW A MAJOR CORPORATION TO CONTINUALLY BILK THE CONSUMER OUT OF 1000'S OF DOLLARS. THIS DEFECT IS KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER AND HAS EVEN BEEN 'HIDDEN' BY THE CONVENIENT RENAMING OF THE TRANSMISSION.*AK

IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS. TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, JUST A LOUD BANG THEN LIKE IT DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL. THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR WAS REPLACED IN 1995 BY A PRIOR OWNER AND AGAIN BY ME IN 1998. THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR FAILED IN 1999. I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A PARTIAL REPAIR HISTORY OF A PRIOR OWNER WHICH SHOWS WORK WAS DONE BETWEEN DECEMBER 96 AND SEPTEMBER 97 THAT INCLUDES 3 REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND 2 REPAIRS TO THE AIR CONDITIONING. I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND STUCK, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND I LOST SPEED QUICKLY IN THE OUTER LANE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, THE DEALER SAYS THE CAB MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OTHER NUMEROUS PROBLEMS INCLUDE DIM HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE DRIVER'S WINDOW PROPERLY, REPLACED BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS TWICE, ILL FITTING TRIM INSIDE, A/C LEAKS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, RATTLES OVER ROUGH ROADS THAT THE DEALER CAN'T FIND AND INSUFFICIENT WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAY JUST TO NAME A FEW. CHRYSLER HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH QUALITY.

THIS CAR HAS HAD 2 TRANSMISSION FAILURES PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF PROBLEMS GETTING THE CAR IN GEAR AT TIMES AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS.
