What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was just driving one night home from my mothers house and the engine just blew with no warning. I have changed my oil every 3,000-3,500 miles and after reading the hundreds of complaints about the 2.7 chrysler engine I am quite displeased that a company can get away with this kind of neglect.
Dt: deer ran in front of car and the steering wheel would not turn the vehicle. She lost control of vehicle and it hit some trees. Upon impact, the front drivers or passenger air bags did not deploy. It happened without warning. Dealer/ manufacturer have not been contacted yet.
Driving at 45 MPH when engine made loud noise and vehicle engine seized. This caused loss of control of vehicle without any warning. This is 2000 chrysler concorde with same 2.7 liter engine problem as the rest where the repair shop says sludge build-up cause engine timing chain to break but car has been maintained as per chrysler recommendations.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chrysler concorde. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled and completely shut off. The contact pulled over and attempted to restart the vehicle, but was unsuccessful. He looked under the hood and discovered that the timing chain failed and created a hole in the valve cover. The contact stated that a new motor would have to be installed at the cost of approximately $7,000. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 95,000.
