1995 Chrysler Concorde 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

RECALL DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL RAIL O RING AND NUMEROUS OTHER EXPENDITURES AFTER THEIR REPAIR. *BF THE SERVICE THE CONSUMER RECEIVED DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM HE WAS HAVING. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE TRANSAXLE FLOOR SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE PROBLEM CREATED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MONEY SPENT ON REPAIRS. *TC *JB THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE DRIVES OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD POP OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO NEUTRAL. THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THE GASKETS WERE REPLACED. THE AIR CONDITION WAS INOPERATIVE, THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE SHORT IN A WIRE

BURNT FLUID IS NOTED ON THE REPAIR SHEET. DEALER WAS NO HELP AT ALL SO WENT TO INDEP TRANS. REPAIR SHOP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER AUTOS FROM RESEARCH I'VE DONE ON-LINE AND WITH TALKING TO FRED'S TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH [(219)266-2144]. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY CONSTANTLY GET CHRYSLER'S IN FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES AT ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE AS MINE. WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER USED POOR EQUIPMENT IN THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSIONS. I PRAY THAT SOME DAY CHRYSLER WILL REALIZE THERE'S A PROBLEM AND DO A RECALL FOR THEIR POOR PERFORMANCE OF THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. *AK

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
