Followup report--- Stalling --must have been the crank sensor as it has not stalled in four hot days and 200 miles. (Remember it had a hole in the plastic covering). Hope this helps someone else with a stalling Concorde or 300M. Roger/Nashville

Your idle of 600 rpm in gear and 800 rpm in park is normal. I wouldn't worry about the fan speed unless you find the car is not maintaining the correct inside temperature.
Any problems I have ever had with stalling or potential stalling with 4 300M's (my wife and I each have had 2) have been electronic. It always seems to be the sensors that fail.

Replying to an old posting--just starting to feel a pulsating when braking on my 02. With 50k I'm betting the rotors are warped. You said you had yours turned every 35K. Who did you have do the work and were the pads replaced as well? Local dealer will match prices on repairs but don't know if I need to go to them or a brake specialist. Just changed tires---maybe over torqued on the lug nuts?

2000 300M - How turn on security system?

After the BCM was replaced in my 2000 300M, the security system no longer actuates when the doors are locked; when the car is started, it flashes showing it is working. Is there a way to turn off/on the security system?

The security system is activated when you lock the doors. Is it not honking the horn anymore when you lock it? If so, read the owner's manual. There's a procedure to turn that feature back on. It's a series of key twists that I can't remember.
To test that it is indeed working, lock the car with the fob, then use the key in the door to unlock it, and open the door. The alarm should sound.

I have a 99 300M that has just recently started having a problem with the brakes. Pressure keeps changing on them- sometimes I have to press really hard. Other times, brakes go down under my foot without my pressing. Mechanic thought it was master cylinder, but that is not problem. Pads, rotors, etc are all replaced. Mechanic spent all day and can't find anything. Car is drivable but we are concerned.

Sounds like air in the brake lines.

It's your power brake booster or a vacuum leak in the line that controls the power brake booster. Classic symptoms.
