1995 Chrysler Concorde recalls (3)
Power train › Automatic transmission › Lever and linkage › Floor shift
On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock May fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock May also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.

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. The 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
My vehicle does not 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.

My 1995 Chrysler Concorde with 3.3-litre v6 engine. VIN#[redacted] 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 [redacted]. Mileage is 108,852. Purchased 6/00 at croton Dodge, croton-on-hudson, ny. Updated 07/25/2012
