1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

TRANSMISSION FAILURE, I READ THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE 95 CHRYSLER CONCORDE, DUE TO SHIFTING PROBLEMS, MY 95 CHRYSLER CONCORDE, DROVE FINE AND THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED, IF I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTART IT, IT WILL DRIVE, UNTIL IT TRIES TO SHIFT TO SECOND THEN IT WILL NOT DRIVE ANYMORE, AT ALL, UNTIL I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT, THEN IT WILL IMMEDIATELY DRIVE AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY A SOLENOID SHIFT PACK, WHICH WAS RECALLED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

MY VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE INTO SECOND GEAR. I FOUND OUT WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND BECAME A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN IN REVERSE, IT HAS A "CLUNK" NOISE WHEN THE GAS IS APPLIED. THE PROBLEM CAME ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE ALSO COMPUTER AND IGNITION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS CRACKLING IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN THE HEATER IS ON, THE IGNITION SWITCH CANNOT BE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION WHEN THE CAR IS ON OR THE ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AND PREVENTS FUNCTION OF THE HEATER. *TR

DT: CONTACT STATES THE GEAR SHIFT IS HARD TO PUT INTO GEAR. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE MOTOR. A MECHANIC SAID THE GEARS BROKE AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. CONSUMER DID HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. THE CONSUMER DID NOT HAVE THE PURCHASE DATE OR THE DEALER INFORMATION AVAILABLE. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A POPPING NOISE WHILE CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIRS BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK THERE WAS OVERHEATING AND THE POWER BRAKE WAS DELAYED. *SC

CONSUMER STATED THAT EVER SINCE SHE HAD HER VEHICLE, SHE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND THE TRANSMISSION. SHE ALSO STATED THAT NOW SHE IT NEEDED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. ALSO, SHE WAS TOLD BY HER MECHANIC THAT THE CRANK SHIFT IS GOING BAD. CURRENTLY SHE ISN'T DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *LA

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WILL SHUTTER WHEN GEARS ARE CHANGED OR WILL STICK IN SECOND GEAR.CONTACTED DEALER.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE JUST STOPPED AND WOULDBNOT GO INTO GEAR. CONTACTED DEALER, WHO CANNOT FIX PROBLEM. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE OVER 30 DAYS AND THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING THAT THE DEALER ISSUE A FULL REFUND OF THE COST OF PURCHASE UNDER THE LEMON LAW. *YH

TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. ALSO, VEHICLE COULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE.*AK

WHEN PUTTING GEAR LEVER INTO DRIVE THE ENGINE REVS, AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT COME OUT OF FIRST GEAR, VEHICLE WILL NOT DRIVE PROPERLY ANYMORE.*AK CONSUMER STATES ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE SHAKES LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME APART. *YD

WON'T GO IN REVERSE. *AK

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. DEALER HAS REPLACE TRANSMISSION.*AK

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES. IT WAS THE 2 GEAR THAT WENT OUT. THEY HAVE NO OTHER REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. *AK

CAR SPINS AS A RESULT OF INTERMITTANT TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS USED CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT VIOLENTLY. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. TWO DEALERS UNABLE TO FIND ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. WHEN TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON WET PAVEMENT AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS THE CAR WANTS TO SPIN IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. *AK

WHILE HAVING NEW TIRES INSTALLED ON THE CAR THE MECHANIC FOUND THE LEFT OUTER TIE ROD END WORN OUT. DUE TO THE MILAGE ON THE CAR I FEEL THIS IS PREMATURE. IN CHECKING YOUR SITE I AM FINDING STISTEMIC PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND LIKE CARS (IE DODGE INTREPID) ALSO FOR THE MODEL YEARS OF 1993,1994,1995. THE THREE MAJOR AREAS I FOUND ARE AIR CONDITIONING, STEERING/ LINKAGES, AND TRANSMISSION WHICH I HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I HAVE REPORTED THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THE TRANSMISSION TO YOU A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. *AK

TRANSMISSION IS SHUTTERING WHEN SHIFTING, INDICTATING THAT TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. DEFECT IS COMMON PROBLEM. NEED TO REBUILD TRANSMISSION. *AK.ET.

TRANSMISSION HAS HARD DOWN SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR, TRANSMISSON WAS REBUILT IN 1998 UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. DOWN SHIFT PROBLEM RETURNED WITH-IN 2 MONTHS OF REBUILD, BUT EVERY TIME TOOK TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. ON LAST DIAGNOSTIC TEST 9 MARCH 2000 DEALER STATED INTERNAL DAMAGE AND EST. REPAIR COST $1800.00.. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, DOES NOT MATTER IF CAR IS WORM OR COLD. AT TIMES TRANSMISSION HAD SLIPPAGE PULLING (SLIGHT) UP HILL GRADES. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOV EVEHICLE. *AK

TIE ROD END SOCKETS AT STEERING BOX COMPLETELY WORN OUT (ELONGATED). AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR FAILED. TRANSMISSION FAILED.

PROBLEM SEEMS TO START WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKING THEN EVENTUALLY YOU WILL START TO HEAR A POPPING NOISE IN YOUR FRONT END, COMING FROM THE TIE ROD. THOUGHT THIS WAS A SUSPENSION PROBLEM BUT TOOK TO DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY REPLACED MY BRAKES AND SERVICED TRANSMISSION. CLUNCKING NOISE STILL EXISTED WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS AND THE SLIGHTLY ACCELLERATED. TURNS OUT THE TIE ROD, TRANSMISSION MOUNT AND AXLE WERE TO BLAME. CAN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE AXLE AS THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPLACE BUT DID NOT SHOW UP ON REPAIR. I KNOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN AND SUSPENSION IN THE CAR. AS FOR THE DIP STICK, THE HEAT CREATED BY THE ENGINE IS COOKING THE PLASTIC IN THE COLORED DIPSTICK TO THE POINT IT JUST FALLS APART. I RECENTLY HAD THE TIE ROD AND TRANSMISSION MOUNT REPLACED AND NOW...

I HAD ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICING DONE AT BOTHUN'S (EAU CLAIRE) ON 3-16-99 INCLUDING TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THEY REPORTED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT THAT DATE. WITHIN THE MONTH I BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE. IT WOULD SHIFT ERRATICALLY OR NOT AT ALL. I CALLED BOTHUN ON 4-16-99 AS PROBLEMS GOT WORSE. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR 4-19-99 AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION PUMP/TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING BADLY AND NEEDED REPLACING. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERED TO PAY 75% OF THE COST AFTER BOTHUN'S CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE REPAIR. I WAS NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AS I FELT IT WAS A PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE CAR HAVING FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES. I AGREED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND PAY 25% SINCE I NEED THE CAR,BUT I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY THE REST OF THE BILL. IT DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL WEAR AND...

TRANSMISSION FAILED TO GO INTO REVERSE, SEALS REPLACED.

TRANSMISSION FAILED.

TRANSMISSION CAUSING SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING INTO 4TH AROUND 40MPH. DEALER INDICATES NEED TRANSMISSION REBUILD. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO OWNER'S MAUNAL SPECS. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYLSER HAD A PROBLEM CLEANING THE TRANSMISSION CASE AT THE TIME MINE WAS MANUFACTURED. DEBRIS WAS LEFT IN CASE THAT CAN WEAR TRANSMISSION EXCESSIVELY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHRYSLER COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. OBVIOUSLY THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT AT 50000 MILES. THANK-YOU
