#1174 of 1243 Re: 2001 Chrysler Concorde Lxi Starting Problems [daveali98] by v65magic Jul 15, 2007 (8:18 am)
Replying to: daveali98 (Jul 11, 2007 7:37 pm) My concord has been doing the same thing for several months and possibly over a year now. I have the column around the key switch off and drive it this away. When it doesnt start, I start unplugging the connectors and and try starting it. It sooner or later fires right up like there is no problem and keeps starting for an undetermined amount of time.   The last time I had the connector going to the key switch & 2 connectors on the top of the column unplugged and it started. Thats the best I can tell you for now. GOOD LUCK & LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND ANY INFO. Joe

Replying to: emale (Aug 02, 1999 12:37 am) It's my first time to buy a car, and I found a 2002 concorde with 100K millage. What do you think about this year's concorde? Is there any general problem? Or is the millage too high? The owner said he is the first owner. Replies to this message: foxyj75 (Aug 08, 2007 8:06 am)

Replying to: catherinezhong (Aug 07, 2007 12:11 pm) Catherine, alot depends on the engine in the car you are considering. Concordes came with either a 2.7l or a 3.5l engine. At this mileage, a 3.5l engine is a better choice in my opinion. Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with a 2.7l engine, but at this mileage, the previous owner would have to show me all service records for the car. The oil should've been changed every 3000 miles. Also, I would call a Chrysler dealer and have them tell you what should have been serviced and/or replaced by now(e.g. timing belt, spark plugs, wires, egr valve, filters,ect.). If the seller cannot provide you with service records, then the 3.5 is a better choice. While there is nothing inherently wrong with a car with a 2.7 engine, this engine can be troublesome if it is not maintained properly. Other than that, just realize that at 100k miles, some routine maintenance is to be expected, as things just start to wear out after 100k miles. Hope this helped!!! GOD BLESS!!!<>< P.S. I happen to be a dealership mechanic, so I do have experience with these kinds of things!!!
#1177 of 1243 2002 concorde with 100k miles by cweston Aug 08, 2007 (2:23 pm)
We have a 1999 concorde we bought used and it only had 80K miles on it, now has 114K....so, in my opinion, I think a 100k for a 2002 is quite a bit. I'd like to give some of our personal experience and what to watch for.....the engine of course as your last reply touched base on and I agree the 3.5 is better. But beware of the sensors---speed control sensor--when it goes, you would think its the transmission going out--about 200 to replace....the output control sensor is another one---this one, you won't be able to move the car--tow it in--transmission will not shift--250 to fix plus labor. Air bag light--if it comes on/stays on-you won't have power windows, blower for heat/ac or turn signals---check the clockspring in the steering column---another 250-300 to have fixed. Chrysler had alot of problems with these cars BE SURE to check to see what's been replaced and the engine sludge build up--have it looked over before you buy it! if I had my 'rathers',,,i wouldn't have bought it. I'm not a guy or a mechanic---I'm a mom of two and have learned about the chrysler concorde! but each to their own and good luck!

Replying to: daveali98 (Jun 30, 2007 10:49 pm) I had the same problem once...It was the Ignition Fuse located in the power distribution center (fuse box inside the trunk on the left side of the engine)...try it, may help

Replying to: cj1 (Jul 23, 1999 9:36 pm) im acutally having probs too...i just changed my front brake pads (would have done all but 1 of the 2 screws that hold the caliper to the rotor are so rusted bad that it wont come off). but anyways, i changed the pads and now my parking brake wont cut off unless it wants to. my brake fluid isnt all the way up to max but there is still visibly enough i s'pose. should i possibly fill it to the max line? or is it an electrical thing?

#1182 of 1243 ok well... by konsoul12 Nov 14, 2007 (6:38 pm)
ive posted actually a couple of posts...and still no reply...and i really need help on this issue....   yesterday i finally figured out how to change my brake pads on a 97 concorde lx..and since then the parking brake like near my speedometer turns off and then on for a while and then just randomly turns off....could i have done something to the brakes? they work fine to me...bled them and everything....    one thing it could possibly be is that the resevoir for the brake fluid isnt all the way filled up...but when i take the cap off it still has some in it. would i need to fill it up to the max line possibly?    also does the same thing with my brights near the speedometer...ever since i changed the bulb the light stays on all the time (which i did that maybe 3-4 months ago)   one other thing....   for a while now my steering wheel has felt loose, for instance, while driving straight my steering wheel is turned to the left or to the right (depending on how im trying to stay straight).    for instance lets say im driving straight. i have to move the wheel left and right just to keep it straight. almost as if was loose. then when i go to make a turn i have to turn the wheel more than im supposed to.    alighnment?? other probs?
