1999 Chrysler Concorde Reviews - Page 6 of 10

In July I paid off the 5 year loan on my Concorde.

In August, the engine blew, with only 37,500 miles on the car.

After research with the dealer, independent mechanics, and on the web, I learned that Chrysler 2.4 liter engines are blowing out all over the world. A REBUILT 2.4 liter engine costs the same as a new one, because there are so few used ones that have not blown out there to rebuild.

So before you even think about buying this car, do a web search on "Chrysler 2.4 liter engine" and see what conclusion you come to.

Actually, I really liked the Chrysler cab forward cars. I had a 1995 Dodge Intrepid for four years before buying the Chrysler. Then the Concorde engine blew and cured me.

Not long after we purchased this car the A/C compressor went out and right at this moment we have no air conditioning or a heater. The plastic piece near the windshield, on the hood, flew off on the highway. The car shakes when I slow down to turn or stop. The passenger side lock would make a funny noise when we would unlock or lock the car, but that was fixed. Granted it still is driving after hitting a deer, but everything was wrong with it before that incident.

The car is a great family car, plenty of room in the back so the kids don't kick the seats. The car has been all over the country and back again and is a very comfortable ride.

A/C quit working, speedometer quit working, odometer quit working, car breaks down when slowing down, power windows work when they want, air leak in windshield, outer parts of the car fall off, front speakers quit working, the car looks great, but doesn't run worth anything. I have 4 years to pay on this car and it is sitting in my driveway broken down.

I take very good car of my car, I am not sure why things quit working... I paid good money for it too.

Obviously I purchased the car used. At the time of purchase I noticed that the car pulled to the right. I had the front end aligned and this did not help much. I then had the tires rotated and now the car vibrates a little at 60MPH. But I do not think that any of this is the fault of the car or the manufacturer. Most likely it was damaged or just treated very poorly by it's previous owner.

I had wanted a Concorde since they first came out. They are just big, good looking cars. So when I saw this massive car for sale I traded my 2000 Stratus to get it. I am in love with this car. The engine runs good, albeit small for the size of the car. The car is so very comfortable. When I get tired of this car I will probably upgrade to a newer Concorde. The car is very good on gas and once it is up to speed it can hold it's own. I love the lay out of the controls and the cars overall friendly design to big people.
