Actually just wanted to add praise to AutoBeef and all the valuable (and unhappy) people who just prevented my wife and I from making another costly mistake.
We have just went through what all 2.7 liter Chrysler Concorde owners have or will go through, Engine failure due to sludge buildup.. We were at our local and favorite used car dealer today and checked out a BEAUTIFUL 2000 Durango with all the bells and whistles and of course a 4.7 liter engine..
After the Chrysler 2.7 boondogle we were smart enough to find out if the 4.7 was a good engine or not... Thank You God and the Internet!!! WE WILL NOT make another mistake like that again..In fact I have a 1992 Dodge Dakota now, but I'd bet real money that I trade that sucker off this weekend..
NO MORE Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge products for us..EVER.

This car was well maintained and low in mileage. No problems we even had an experienced auto mechanic take a look at the car before we purchased it and he advised that the car was a good buy for the price and car maintenance so far. And then without any warning while my wife was on the interstate the engine failed and she had to coast it off the busy highway to the shoulder of the road. It is the shop waiting for repair. Since we only had this auto for 6 months we immediately talked with the dealership to see what they were willing to do about this problem. THey turned us away and refused to help us. SO now we are here, hoping that something will be done about this growing problem..... oil sludge we had no idea this was a problem until now!!!!!

I bought my 2001 Chrysler Concorde in February 2007, at Leskovar Car Sales With 90,000 miles on it. I decided the car warranty was expensive at $2,000 and it only covered the engine. After choosing not to add it to the price of the car at $7,000, it became a nightmare. One week after the car was purchased the engine failed with my infant in the car. My car Has been in shop ever since. The cost of fixing the car is $5,000 dollars.
I'm only 18 years old and it was my first car bought through a loan and it has already screwed me. I'm having no choice but to pay full coverage insurance on a car that doesn't run and and car payments until the car that I still owe $4,500 on it. The dealership was let off the hook and didn't need to pay any of the cost. Leaving me without a reliable car.

This vehicle gave me so many problems. When ever I would take it to the dealer they would say that nothing was wrong with it but it always had an oil leak.....

I will never buy a Chrysler again!! I didn't even have the car for a week and already the idle will get low and the oil light will start flickering off and on and sometimes it will stay on altogether. It only seems to do this when i am at a stop. when I'm driving it is fine and it also doesn't do it until my car is completely warmed up.

Concorde
Chrysler Concorde is the worst car in the world ,,, it's bad and i hate this company too much ... too much disappointed i thought i choose the best car for me and my kids but after only one hour the engine is crashed down ... the car is not designed for the hot countries like the Gulf area ... and i don't know why they have an agent here they do nothing to help us and it's useless no body hear us or even say sorry ...
