1999 Chrysler Concorde LXi from North America - Comments

A bad speed sensor caused erratic shifting. It was replaced by the dealer and the car drives smooth as silk. Dealer service was excellent - they even picked up the car at my home.

This is one beautiful car. I consider it to be a piece of art - a fine sculpture that you can drive. I remember standing (drooling, actually) in front of it for a full hour at the '98 Car Show. Its timeless elegance (outside and inside) always brings a smile to my face.

This car also handles well and is very comfortable. I don't envy the luxury import owners. I turn more heads than they do.

Needless to say, I will be keeping this one.

I just bought a used 1998 Concorde with 25,000 miles. Next day, my speed sensor died. My dealer did an excellent repair, but it set me back $260!! There is no excuse for this engineering problem. I only hope this is not the beginning of a long line of stupid problems that will drive me into the poor-house!

I agree 100% about the stare-quality. My wife LOVES the car's body style!

My 99 Concorde with 55,000 miles has had a failure each month this year. The car is garage-kept, and has been maintained by dealers.

Two speed controls failed, a rarely-used right rear window motor was replaced, and I paid $844 today to replace the air conditioning evaporator.

The company's customer assistance is unreachable. I do not recommend that anyone purchase a Chrysler product.

My wife and I purchased a used 1999 concorde lxi in Sept. 2001. Over the last 2+ years we have had to re-attach the driver side windshield to its motor $150, have the rear wheel well panels re-sealed because of a major leak in the trunk $350,and replace the back exhaust $250. Some other minor problems included steering wheel shake when braking, a starter malfunction that the dealership still has yet to figure out (when the key is turned the starter doesn't always engage, you have to try a few times before it turns over) and the driver side door catches the front wheel well when the door is opened causing the plastic wheel well to "snap" each time you use the door. We purchased the car because of its roominess and good looks as well as for its $16,000 price tag. All things considered we do enjoy the car and are willing to put up with its various quirks. we have had no MAJOR problems as of yet and plan to keep the car until we do. Oh yeah, the ride quality of this car is outstanding for its price range.

I just bought a Concorde LXi. So far so good. I was looking into buying a 1999 Intrepid, but I heard that they were trying to call back the 2.7 engine.
