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! [redacted] oak hill, wv. 25901 [redacted] '
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.
Dt: the contact stated while vehicle was parked it caught on fire. The fire started in the battery. There was damage to the right front fender. There were no prior problems with the vehicle.

1. Since I purchased the vehicle all lighting, interior dash, headlamps, etc. Have a "flickering" or "pulsing" effect. Over time, this has increased. The vehicle, an 02 chrys Concorde, has only 26K mi and was purchased new. This flickering of lighting has worsened to the point that it bothers other motorists. 2. This condition is constant. The vehicle will not start when left 24 hrs without running. Vehicle stalled on an interstate, immediately put in neutral and attempted to start, negative. All lighting ceased to function prior to being able to fully stop the vehicle. 4-way-flashers failed to function while on shoulder and my vehicle was nearly struck by another motorist. 3. This is clearly a factory defect with the electrical system. Not sure what the problem is. Diagnosis of the all systems were normal with the exception of "excessive ripple" noted for the recharging system. …
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 Chrysler Concorde. While driving various speeds at night, the headlights intermittently illuminated. In addition, the vehicle failed to start and had to be jumpstarted.

Check engine light keeps coming on and the vehicle will not start. This happens intermittently. However, the check engine light stays on. Consumer was told that vehicle would be taken to the Chrysler, but consumer thought that the used car dealer where the vehicle was purchased was running a scam because as long as they've had the vehicle the problem still existed.
The headlights work intermittently, making the ability to see the road difficult at night, and increasing the risk of a crash. Owner will contact manufacturer. This condition also exist when the vehicle is turned off. Also the dashboard lights would flicker intermittently.
As I was driving my air ag was released. In doing so my arm was hurt due to the air being developed. Prior to that happening anytime I would park my car and set the alarm it wouldn't lock or unlock then it would reset my radio and light would start to flicker.
