Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2000 Chrysler Concorde owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
On July 3,2003 I took my car in for service and told them it was leaking. The car leaks at all doors and in the trunk. Also the trim around the headlights is coming out. I was told that there would be a charge of $134.49 for the headlight trim repair and $201.17 for the new door gaskets. The trunk I was not given an estimate on because they said the water doctor would need to repair that. I told them that I felt that the car was defective and I should not have to pay for any repairs. I was called back a week later and was told that the manufacturer would pay 1/3 of the cost of the repair, the service dept. Would pay 1/3 of the cost and I would be required to pay the remaining 1/3. I am not happy with this arrangment as I know this a defect in the car.
We were traveling about 40 MPH on the front beach road in panama city, fl, during christmas 06 the plastic piece between the windshield and the hood flew off and hit our windshield very hard and flew over our car. It was dark and we were not sure what hit our windshield until the morning and we saw that long piece was missing from our car. We went and tried to find the piece that flew off on the side of the road, but could not find it. We are not sure how much this piece will cost us, but I feel for it to fly off and hit our windshield was very dangerous and not sure if it hit anyone behind us. I feel after reading this complaint several times on this site that Chrysler needs to research his problem and fix the problem and reimburse us who have lost this piece to their negligence.
Dt: contact stated while driving the plastic trim between the windshield and hood began to vibrate. The vibration started in the center and then the plastic trim came off. Upon inspection, he determined that the plastic clip attached to the trim of the metal broke. The plastic clips weakened and disconnected from the car. The dealership did not inspect the vehicle to see why it came off. The part has not been replaced. The dealership told the contact to report the problem to Chrysler. Updated 11/16/2005.
The lifts on the hood and trunk have both been replaced because of falling. The door and headlight trim is going to have to be replaced because it has pulled completely off the doors and headlights because of shrinkage, then while driving down the interstate at 65 miles an hour the hood molding came flying off and went over the top of the car and landed in the ditch. These are defects which I feel Chrysler should replace.
Seat belts unhook in my 2001 Concorde lxi. I want them recalled and replaced this is a serious situation. Also I have the rubber around each of my doors come loose and this is another issue with the design of the Concorde and Chrysler will not pay to replace them. This is a design problem. The windows whistle because the rubber seal is away from the door. I want Chrysler to replace them.
While driving at 55 MPH plastic molding under the windshield wipers came off. This molding struck the windshield, went over the vehicle and struk a vehicle behind the consumer's vehicle. The consumer indicated that there was no warning that this was going to happen.
Chassis integrity. The chassis mounts deteriotion in less than four years resulted in the struts malfunctioning, the transmission coolant lines leaking to the extent that the transmission could not be powered while driving on an interstate highway.
A molding piece located on the hood by the windshield flew off in traffic. This occurred while driving at 55 MPH. The molding was 5 feet long and 4 1/2 feet wide. The reason for the part coming unattached was undetermined.
The front driver plastic door knob handle broke while exiting the vehicle. The dealer replaced the handle at the owner's expense of $489.00. It cost so much to replace the handle because it was attached to the entire unit.
Trunk gas struts have failed twice. The original and a warranty replacement set. The car has about 54000 miles as of now. The last set let the trunk lid almost fall and strike my wife on the head while loading groceries.
