While driving home from work my 1999 Concorde with 90,000 miles on it started knocking very loudly. I had to shut the vehicle down because it sounded like the motor was tearing itself apart. Had the vehicle looked at by a mechanice who said the motor needed to be rebuilt or replaced at a cost of about 3000-4000 dollars. The vehicle still sits in my driveway today making payments on it. This happened in 2004 and its now 2007. Great way to back your product chyrsler by telling me I didnt maintain proper maintanance. Want to see the reciepts.

My car shut off while at a stop light. It started back up, but making this awful rattling noise. I had a auto shop tell me a few things and I paid to get a few repairs that cost me closed to $1,000. Then before I could get a repair done to the timing chain of my '99' Concorde, it shut down on me as I was leaving work. I had to get it towed from the middle of traffic, during rush hour and it is now in my garage waiting to be repossessed.

- Akron, OH, USA

While driving down I-75, my 1999 Concorde began making noise that sounded similar to an object touching a moving fan. When I got to first exit, vehicle died, and at that point oil light flickered. I restarted and before I could get across 1 lane of traffic to the side of the road I thought that from the sound my whole engine would fall out of my vehicle. Car died again, as I managed to reach the side of the road. Had it towed to dealer and was told that the engine had "thrown a rod", and needed to be replaced. I asked what would cause it and was told "everyday wear and tear", it has only 70,000 miles on it. It will cost $5,000 to replace, which I don't have!!! I have spoken to very reliable auto parts dealer about a replacement engine. He told me that the engine has a reputation for being the worst you could have, and that he would not put another 2.7 liter engine back in the car. (didn't make me feel any better!!) now I find this website and I read 64 complaints with the same issue. Is there a place or phone number to someone who can help with this problem. As it stands now, I have a car that I can't drive, but still have to pay $7,000 on, and no prospects of being able to afford alternate transportation.
