With foot on brake, put car in reverse moving a short distance-backing out of parking space, with foot still on brake, changed gea rto drive, vehicle accelerated forward, went over a cement parking guide, stroke a tree and stopped.
I now have permanent injuries from the accident as well as my daughter. We are not sure yet of her extent since she in only 3 years old. No safety defect mentioned.
Vehicle was involved in an collision, the vehicle was struck from the driver's side and the air bag didi not deploy. The driver suffered from ahead injury from the air bag not deploying.
While driving at 25 MPH vehicle stalled, then the engine light came on. Dealership replaced the camp shaft sensor. Vehicle stalled again within 330 miles. Then, engine light came on. Vehicle wouldn't restart. In attempt to correct the problem dealership replaced the computer/ fuel pump, but the vehicle wouldn't start. Dealership was about to replace the timing belt when they noticed black sludge all over the engine compartment. Dealership indicated that the engine was slipping time.
Dealer had fixed recall c45 - floor shifter ignition/park interlock on 93 chrysler concorde. Picked up car from dealer and returning home at 40 MPH (rt 124 md) when suddenly the engine hood pops open and slams against the front wind shield with a loud bang. Windshield not damaged. Somehow managed to pull the hood away from the windshield to be able to drive home. Hood distorted and crumpled. Hood shocks and hinges ripped. Hood suddenly opening was probably caused by defective hood lock.
