THE ENGINE IN OUR 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORD BLEW AT ONLY 38000 MILES, IT WAS THE FAMOUS FLAWED 2.7, CHRYSLER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE - TOLD US WE MUST NOT HAVE CHANGED THE OIL OFTEN ENOUGH! MY HUSBAND IS A DISTRICT SUPERVISOR FOR A OIL CHANGE CHAIN HERE IN MICHIGAN, THE OIL WAS CHANGED RELIGIOUSLY WITH SYNTHETIC BLEND, AN OIL FAR SUPERIOR TO THE BASIC FACTORY RECOMMENDATIONS. WE REPLACED THE ENGINE OURSELVES AT OUR OWN EXPENSE WITH A 3.2 AT A COST OF $3000. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADMIT ANY DEFECTS IN THEIR 2.7 MOTORS, YET OTHER COMPANIES WHOM USED THIS ENGINE HAVE VOLUNTARILY RECALLED IT! *TR

HERE IS A COPY OF OUR SALES TICKET THAT EXPLAINS ALL OF THE UPDATES THAT WE PERFORM ON THIS ENGINE. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 1-800-827-7450. --OIL STARVATION IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, SO JASPER INSTALLS THE NEWEST DESIGN OIL LINE WHICH HAS A LARGER DIAMETER PIPE TO ALLOW MORE OIL FLOW AND BETTER LUBRICATION. THE NEWER DESIGN PIPE HAS ONE GENTLE BEND OPPOSED TO THE ORIGINAL WHICH HAD TWO 90-DEGREE BENDS WHICH TENDS TO RESTRICT TO OIL FLOW. --TO PREVENT BEARING FAILURE JASPER INSTALLS ALUMINUM ROD & MAIN BEARINGS INSTEAD OF TRI-METAL BEARINGS. THE ALUMINUM BEARINGS CONFORM TO THE MATING SURFACE MORE COMPLETELY, WHICH PROVIDES MORE EXACT CLEARANCES. THE ALUMINUM BEARINGS ARE ALSO MORE CORROSION RESISTANT. THE ORIGINAL TRI-METAL BEARINGS WERE PRONE TO NOT CONFORM WELL, WHICH LED TO DIRT AND DEBRIS BECOMING LODGED IN THE BEARING DUE TO EXCESSIVE BEARING CLEARANCES. --WATER PUMPS ON THIS ENGINE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO LEAK OR FAIL. ONE OF THE ISSUES LEADING UP TO THIS WAS DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. IT WOULD APPLY MORE TENSION TO THE CHAIN THEN WAS NEEDED, CAUSING STRESS ON THE WATER PUMP. JASPER INSTALLS A LATER DESIGN TENSIONER, WHICH APPLIES THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TENSION ON THE TIMING CHAIN AND REDUCES THE STRESS ON THE WATER PUMP. JASPER INSTALLS THE NEWEST DESIGN OE WATER PUMP & WATER PUMP GASKET WHICH WILL SEAL TO THE BLOCK BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL OE DESIGN. --WITH THE USE OF AN MLS GASKET, THE STANDARDS FOR MACHINING ON THE HEAD AND BLOCK HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO INSURE THAT THE GASKET CAN SEAL PROPERLY. THIS IS TO HELP PREVENT COOLANT FROM ENTERING THE OIL CAVITIES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. ----JASPER DOES NOT INSTALL THE CAM GEAR BALANCER DUE TO A BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER EFFECTIVE 12/14/01 STATING IT IS NOT NEEDED AND NOT SERVICED FROM THIS TIME FORWARD. --DO NOT REMOVE FROM CORE AND INSTALL ON JASPER'S ENGINE. --LIVE RUN TESTED OIL. *TR

MY WIFE'S 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE (2.7 MOTOR) SHUT DOWN UP AT WAL MART. I GOT A CALL FROM MY BUDDY WHO SAID HE THINKS SHE NEEDS A BATTERY. I GO UP THERE, BUY A BATTERY, PUT IT IN, START THE CAR AND IT IS KNOCKING TO HIGH HEAVENS. I PULL THE DIPSTICK AND THERE IS A GREASE LIKE SUBSTANCE ON IT. I IMMEDIATELY GO INTO WAL MART AND BUY OIL. I FILL THE CRANK CASE UP AND HAVE HER START IT UP AGAIN. I KNOCKS FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN SECONDS THEN SOUNDS SOMEWHAT NORMAL. I INSTRUCT HER TO DRIVE HOME AND I WILL FOLLOW HER. IT IS ABOUT FOUR MILES TO HOME. SHE MAKES IT THREE MILES AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AND SHE STRUGGLES AND GETS IT OFF THE ROAD. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT TWO HUNDRED YARDS FROM AN EXIT AND A RED LIGHT. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK IN AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND WE WENT UP TO SEE THEM. THEY NEVER ONCE MENTIONED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS ENGINE. THEY SIMPLY SUGGESTED WE EITHER REPLACE THE ENGINE WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE OR BUY A NEW CAR FROM THEM. WE BOUGHT A CAR BECAUSE SHE AND I WORK AND BOTH OF US WORK THIRTY PLUS MILES FROM HOME. TO BOOT, THEY SOLD US ANOTHER CONCORDE!!! UNBELIEVABLY I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES TODAY, 8-18-08 AT A DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE OFFERING US VERY LITTLE FOR A FOUR YEAR OLD CONCORDE AND STATED THAT ENGINE AS THE REASONING. I WAS FURIOUS. WE TRADED IT OFF, LOST OUR TAILS-AGAIN- AND MOVED ONTO A MORE RELIABLE FOREIGN NAMED VEHICLE. I STARTED SURFING AROUND TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS FOREIGN DEALERSHIP WAS NOT LYING ABOUT THE ENGINE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. I FIGURED I SHOULD DO MY PART AGAINST THESE ROBBER BARONS AND ENTER THE ARENA AS WELL. THE WORST PART OF THIS WHOLE THING IS WE REFINANCE OUR HOUSE YEARS AGO AND PAID OFF THAT 99 CONCORDE TO GET AHEAD. IT BLOWS UP MONTHS LATER AND WE ARE BACK TO SQUARE ONE AND ACTUALLY WORSE OFF BECAUSE THE 04 WASN'T WORTH ANYTHING EITHER. *TR
