What owners report
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?
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 Chrysler Concorde. The contact stated that the trunk would not stay open and would slam shut abruptly. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and the current mileage was 155,000.
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.
I was parking on a parking lot and lot had a structured small post on the driver side; due to visibility that the vehicle lamp omitted to light properly, I damaged the front right corner bumper. I have noticed that the corner lamp assemblies have a problem with the reflectors. This lamp doesn't have the required amber side reflectors don't work well cause I can barely see (not like my other cars). There is a recall set already for part number cs114-u0bj2 which is a combination corner and lamp assembly for this vehicle. I am asked to contact sabersport who is doing the recall (recall id#09e012000 exterior lighting); however, their number is disconnected and their online contact number is a wrong number. At this point, I don't think its right that I have to pay for these repairs. Even upon repairs,I need the vehicle with correct lamp assembly so it doesn't happen again. …
Yesterday I had to go to the hospital because the trunk lid fell on my neck when I was unloading my trunk. This car has an electrical trunk that opens and the trunk also, has a spring air rod that controls the hold of the open trunk. I know this failed because the trunk just lost its hold all of a sudden and landed on my neck. As I tried to lift it from above me (its very heavy- big trunk), my left hand index finger broke and my left arm and hand are in pain. Not to mention, the severe pain I am undergoing with my neck. I also bled a lot and immediately went to the emergency room. I believe this can be a manufacturing defect due to the excessive weight of this trunk door and the device being relied on for the control of trunk.
I would like to file a complaint with daimler-Chrysler regarding the longevity of their automobiles. Thiswas the second vehicle that failed between 100,000 and 110,000 with proper maintenance and upkeep. I had problems with the headlights, door seals, the automatic seats and now the engine. I took the car to Chrysler dealer, and the service department manager told me I had a bad rod and the engine was virtually shot and wasn't worth fixing. He said he was ashamed to say the 2.7 engines were junk. I have researched my car and found out that there were a lot of others with the same, if not more problems than what I had, which indicated that daimler-Chrysler should be ashamed of for not caring or making good for their mistakes instead of ignoring them! This car has had many other problems, including electrical problems with door locks, the power seats, and the seals from around the doors. …
This car has multiple problems. I find that the complaints with the windows are consistent e.g. Won't roll down on passenger side front and "off track" driver's side front. I have water collecting on the driver's side front after lots of rain. The molding on the car whether it be the headlights or around the doors does not stay in place. The trunk vent has been replaced and the struts and sway bar had to be replace shortly after the purchase.
