What 2004 Chrysler Concorde owners say
Engine & cooling
When I try to brake at a stop light, my car tries to quit. When I slow behind another vehicle, my vehicle lunges upon continuing again. I have had the timing checked, but that is not my problem. I can smell gasoline when my vehicle acts up. I fear for my life and the life of my 12 year old son. I am a single parent working for $ 9.00 an hour. I need my car to get to work, but I'm afraid of it, and I just don't have the extra money to have it checked and repaired! I thought perhaps it might have a recall on it, because so many others do!

Car is continuing to stall. Dealer cannot find what is causing. Car stalled while making a left turn and was consequently hit by another car from behind. No major damage done, as we were only traveling about 5 MPH. Car sputters a lot, stalls a lot, and is not safe for me and my 3 small children to drive. Tried to trade it in because I do not feel safe anymore after the wreck, but will cause me a huge financial loss to do this. Please look into this problem. This is complaint number 2 with NHTSA. I see the pacificas were just recalled because of this exact same problem... When will you look into the concords?

The car head lights & dash lights dim when driving. If you play with control switch it sometimes makes them work right. Car stalls and doesn't want to restart. We have done the recall for exhaust. The A/C all the sudden started making noises when stalling and now does not work makes a hissing sound. I have kept this car in great shape and have it maintained & serviced regularly. I have had several sensors replaced and the engine light refuses to go off. I put it in the shop and they said it was because gas cap was loose. That wasn't the case, car is now sitting in driveway unable to start. Had the heads removed and fuel injectors cleaned and car still won't run.
Body & structure
I was driving west on hwy 8, going 5-10 miles under the speed limit and a vehicle at a side road was stopped at the stop sign. However, he then pulled out in front of me instead of waiting, so it was his fault. He even said it was his fault, and he was in a hurry as it was his last meal to deliver for meals-on-wheels. I have been dealing with back problems and medical appointments ever since, and still trying to work. Also, the police report said the air bag was deployed, however they did not completely deploy; they started to but that was all, and pictures will prove the air bags did not work properly. I do not know the recall number for our 2004 Chrysler Concorde. Ps: looks like the police report is more than 5mb so how do I send that to you?
