Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 1995 Chrysler Concorde owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Recall 790 was preformed in 1999, (a patch was installed on a fuel rail). March of 2016 the fuel rail began leaking and I took the car to a former Chrysler repair garage, (graft, scottdale, pa [phone]) where they found the recall patch failed and I had to have a new fuel rail installed. The service manager, [redacted] informed me I should contact Chrysler since the recall repair of 1999 failed and apply for reimbursement. I contacted Chrysler and they told me despite the repair of 1999 failing this year recalls have an expiration! That is not true according to multiple dealers I've contacted. The repairs for the faulty fuel rail cost me $366.00 and Chrysler refuses to assist. I can be reached at [redacted]....[redacted].
1995 Chrysler Concorde will 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.
Dt*: the contact stated there was fuel on the engine and the vehicle was taken to the dealership. The dealership determined the fuel rail cracked. There is a NHTSA recall, # 98V184000, regarding the fuel injection system. The vehicle had the same problem as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated 02/28/06.
Front end struts wre replaced after reporting clunking noise in front end when car was placed in reverse. One year later, while enroute from pennsylvania to washington on vacation, the steering broke when backing out of a parking space in an underground parking lot in south bend, in. Rack and pinion was repaired by dealership in south bend. Started to smell gas fumes in vehicle while driving to washington. Tried to get repairs in south dakota but was unable to find a dealership who would repair it. Located dealership in pasco, washinton torepair the fuel line which was not connected properly after rack repair, as I was told by dealer. Battery exploded while in parking lot at local mall. Air conditioner started emitting musty smell. Had air conditioner charged twice and it still doesnt seem to hold a charge. Car would not start on 12/3/1999. …
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.
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.
Fuel smell and leakage under the hood. Leakage takes place while car is running. Two dealers new exactly what problem was without even looking at the car. They said they see 2 or 3 concordes or lhs per month with the same problem. They told me there was a recall for the 3.3 engine (for which they have not seen any problems) but on the 3.5 they see them often. The 3.5 has no current recall. Why? The leakage and smell continues to get worse.
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.
After recall repair on fuel o-ring was complete, fuel rail inlet, the o-ring at the fuel rail inlet had slipped out of place, due to vibration while driving, causing leakage (98V184).
