3 of the 4 electric motors in the power windows went bad. The dealer replaced all three under warranty, but wouldn't replace the last one unless it quit working too. It died 2 thousand miles after the warranty expired. The dealer wouldn't replace it for free, even though he admitted it had been a problem in other Concordes.
The weather stripping along the drivers side came off shortly after the warranty expired. Dealer replaced for free. 10 thousand or so miles later the weather stripping on the passenger side began coming off.
Wheel bearing replaced on front passenger side.
Interior dome lights shorted out.
Interior lights and dash lights flicker
periodically for no apparent reason.
Weather stripping around the headlights coming off.
Cooling fans short out causing car to run hot. This leads to major repairs on down the road.
Speed sensor goes bad causing car to stick in first gear.
Car begins smoking. Valve seals burned as a result of cooling fans shorting out.
Car is very luxurious for the price, but you make up the difference in the long run on repairs.
Motor runs quiet and strong.
Has many features only found on more expensive vehicles.
Bingo, sounds like my car to a tee. Just bought it a week ago and have noticed all the same things except the over heating... other than that, pretty pleased with the beautiful ride.
The 1999 Chrysler Concorde is a stylish and roomy car. I purchased mine with 34,000 miles and a 6 month warranty. On the seventh month the drivers-side power window quit working properly. Two weeks later the cruise control, horn and other steering wheel electronics shorted out. I drove like this for a month and then the throttle cable broke. I had the car less than a year, I had a total of 40,000 miles on it and I suddenly had to pay $1,300 in repairs. The weather stripping on the headlights has since fallen off and the drivers side rear window has quit working. The right interior front light does not work and the clip for the visor has broken. In seventeen months I have only driven 11,000 miles. I am very disappointed in this car.
