Problems with windshield wipers on 2000 Chrysler Concorde lxi. (protects the windshield wipers) the 5-1/2 foot long section broke loose from the clips that hold it in place, flipped over the vehicle roof creating a very severe traffic hazard to the vehicle in the back of the consumer. The clips were still in place with the broken plastic still in place.
Consumer states that all the rubber surrounding various vehicle body components is "popping" off. Specifically the rubber surrounding the headlights, doors and windows. Dealer is unable to determine cause.
The molding between the hood and the windshield flew off as I was driving in the freeway. I was driving like I normally do ( approx. 65mph), when fwy is clear of cars; this is not reason enough for this car part to fly off. Luckily, fwy was clear, if not, I could of had an accident since it affected my visibility while driving. Once I replace this, I wonder if next time... Will I have an accident? How to ask they install it so it doesn't fly off? Dealer says they must install it per manufacturer requirements but the normal way it comes from manufacturer doesn't work cause it eventually flies off. I noticed there are countless complaints regarding same issue with NHTSA. How many complaints are necessary for it to be recalled?
Car has popping sound around left front wheel,all but one window is off track and cant use.have to bang key on end to get it to turn ignition over.car shakes when braking.wont stay in alignment.uses oil from first day we bought car.when windows did work they snapped shut loudly.this is a smooth riding car but has way to many problems.also the tv cable broke and had to be replaced which was the only component that wasnt covered on the warranty.kinda strange since the car wont budge without it..I am sorry I ever bought this car.I am paying for a vehicle that will be trash by the time it is paid for.
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.
Ignition switch problem with 1998 Chrysler Concorde. Switch dosen't seem to release after starting, consiquence is that air bags, power windows,power lockls and all related power equipment is non functional. I know of other Chrysler products that have the same problem, seems to be a problem in the ignition switch and/or related linkage.
This car started having problems in approximately April. Tires were replaced in April. Brakes were replaced, then sliding section to sunroof fell apart. Then the termostat went out and replaced. Car stopped, was told it was the water pump, had it towed, was then told it was the modulator fan. Contacted the extended warrenty company, was told by warrenty people that it was not covered and then informed by them that it was also my ac and the compressor. Dealer refused to honor the remaining existing warranty that was left on the car.
Rack and pinion replaced 2 times in three years, making knocking noise again......ac evaporater replaced 3 times in 3 years (dealer said if it was fixed within 12 months it would still be under warrantee, not mentioning the 7 yr warrantee extension) instrument panel would turn off intermittanly now it seems to be not working at all,,,, check engine light has been on for 2 years... Dealer resets it and it works for about 2 weeks(serviced 5 times) ... Regulator in pass. Door does not lift power window
