#910 of 1243 astonishingly surprised by supplanter Dec 05, 2002 (8:45 pm)
Today I stopped at a Chrysler dealer and took a glance at a Concorde up close for the 1st time (even sat in it and started it up). It was a 2002 LXi I believe but not sure. They were asking $17K for it with only 10k on the odometer. It had all the "hoochies" I have been looking for. Though my wife is not comfortable with the fuel economy, I'm very satisfied with the vehicle. We are looking at replacing our vehicles in the fall next year so does anyone have any recommendations to us about purchasing one of these. I think I'm sold on it. I went back 60 posts and found only 1 truly negative posting about the car and that was on a 94 model when it was only like 2-3 years old. Feel free to blab blab blab all the unsolicited advice. I really like the car and the funny thing-I haven't even driven it yet. Replies to this message: lenny27 (Jan 09, 2006 10:43 am)

My 2000 Coincorde has had very few issues. I like the car a lot, highway driving is the best.      I have to say for a big car gas milage is not bad at all.   FRank

If you like the LXI look at the Concorde Limited or an 01 LHS same car but with the nicer 300M interior. Look for one with the Luxury package, You can tell by the half wood steering wheel, the wood grain on the dash is real burlwood a lot nicer that the lxi wood grain and should cost about the same price. I have an 01 LHS just a gussied up Concorde but it is the best car I have ever owned and I have been driving Mopars for the last 40 years. Last car was a 96 Concorde and it was great also no problems on either one.

Hello everyone,   About two months ago I purchased a 2000 Chrysler concord lxi with 75,000 miles on it. I payed 11,500 for it. I really love the way the car drives and it looks great inside and out. It is fully loaded with everything, even the spare tire is with the allow rims. I just had one question and hope someone could give me some feed back. Yesterday, I had parked my park and turned it off and came back about ten minutes later to turn it on when the engine and the car started shaking and didn't start. When I turned it on again it still was shaking and as I started driving it for about five second it stopped shaking. Does anyone know what the problem might be or is it something serious.

Your symptoms need a bit more explanation.   For example, 'when I turned it on again it still was shaking..."   Was the engine totally off between these starts? If so, I would suspect fuel starvation to one or more cylinders.   Since the engine ran fine a bit later, I doubt if your spark plugs might be fouled. Water in the gas could do this also. A car driven 75K could have quite a bit of condensation in the tank.   Why not try this? Put in a pint of denatured (wood) alcohol (get it from a drug store). It is what commercial fuel dryers are made of and only costs about $1.29 or so versus $7 or $8 for the commercial stuff. It will absorb the water in the tank and clean up the fuel and injectors. You may have to do this a couple of times to get good results, particularly if you have a lot of condensation in the tank.   If the problem continues, suggest having the dealer check the fuel injectors, though the alcohol should also clean them out.

I knew it was brief, but I was heading out the door. What I was trying to say was that when I started the car for the second time it still kept on shaking and decided to drive it out of the parking space. When I got it out of the parking space it kept on shaking for about 5 sec. and then it stopped shaking as if nothing was wrong with it. Which was somewhat weird to me. I really didn't put much hands on to my previous car I had and with the many parts that I'm not familiar with on my chrysler, that I don't have an idea what might be the problem. Thanks for the suggestion and I'm going to check that out and see if that helps out.
#916 of 1243 One Year Update by robw64 Jan 02, 2003 (6:51 pm)
Just an update for all you "forum scanners" who may be considering a Concorde: My 2001 LXi passed it's one-year-of-ownership mark on 12/27, and I still love this car. The ride, handling, and comfort are outstanding. The only problems I have experienced were: 1 - when the car was brand new, turning on the rear defrost caused static on the radio (dealer replaced the entire window, putting me in a rental vehicle until the replacement was completed) and 2 - some minor vibration in the front tires (I also had the dealer tighten up a squeak in the door while it was in the shop).   I see on AOL that Consumer Reports has added the Concorde to it's list of recommended vehicles. Perhaps I'm biased, but this is a domestic vehicle that offers tremendous value for the money whether it is compared to imports or any other large sedan.
#917 of 1243 Power Mirror Problem by hpark_home Jan 11, 2003 (4:24 pm)
Any and all suggestions are welcome...   My wife smashed the driver's side mirror of her 1999 Concorde pulling out of the garage. I bought a replacement mirror assembly on the Internet and began replacing it. I figured I'll be smart by cutting the wires and splicing them to the existing wires thinking that I wouldn't have to take the entire door apart, right? WRONG! When I spliced the wires, I must have messed up in the wiring--the mirror control switch worked for a little while, but then it gave out and stopped working.   I figured the fuse must be blown, but the fuse seems fine. It adjusts neither mirrors... Does anyone have any idea on how fix this? Could it be the switch? I'm lost...

maybe the wires you spliced came apart? did you solder the wires? or just tape them? . You really should have just taken the door panel off , and replaced the mirror using the plug on the harness. not really much more to take apart after you get to the point of removing the screws that hold the mirror to the door. re-check your splices
#919 of 1243 Few complaints by driver60 Jan 25, 2003 (1:46 pm)
We bought this car new in April 1998. 1998 Concorde LXI On a trip through Colorado, Utah, Wyoming in Oct 1999Gas mileage was 27.7 for trip of 3400 miles. We were very satisfied with that as we drove 75 mph in the west and prowled the mountains a lot in 10 days. Two weak spots. Needs larger brake pads. Warped the front rotors going down the west side of Loveland Pass even in lower gears. This early winter had a no start. Positive battery cable completely corroded and broke.In the future I will pull air cleaner housing once a year and recoat the connection. 77,000 miles now and will keep for some time. Don't usually put on too many miles since retirement.
