1997 Chrysler Concorde LX review from North America
"As with any car there are some good and some bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First day of ownership the check engine light came on and continued to flash several codes, when I did the on-off-on-off-on-off-on key thing to get it to flash codes, so it had 3 in it at that point. I took it back to the dealer and they had it for 5 days tring to figure out what was wrong with it. Meanwhile they gave me a P.O.S. 1995 Chevy Corsica 2.2L to drive. So almost a week goes by then they call me and tell me to car is fine come and get it. So I did, on the ride home that day the a/c compressor let go so back to the dealer it went. Today I picked it up from getting it back for the a/c being fixxed and on the ride home today the check engine light came back on. So I took it back and they hooked it up to the scanner and erased the codes and checked everything out and told me to drive it for a couple days and call them if the light comes back on.
General comments?
I love the car itself it's fast like the old Taurus SHO's, well the automatics anyway the 5spd SHO's would blow my Concorde off. I'm not impressed with it so far and I've only owned it going on 2 weeks so I'll just drive it and hope for the best. The car handles great and accelerates fast for a "near luxury" sedan.
