2000 Chrysler Concorde Electrical Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the electrical system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Electrical reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I OWN A 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE DOOR AND INSIDE COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SHOPS TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT THE LIGHTS NEVER COME ON. FRUSTRATING IS PUTTING IT LIGHTLY. THE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS POWERED OFF AND HAS DRAINED MY CAR BATTERY. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THIS ON AND OFF WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR THREE + YEARS. GOOD THING I OWN ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS NOT A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

2000 CONCORDE~THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A/C REPAIR. IT WILL JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP COOLING. THE FIRST TIME, 08/2004, IT HELD A CHARGE AND CHRYSLER COULDN'T FIND A LEAK OR PROBLEM ANYWHERE. THE SECOND TIME, 04/2005, CHRYSLER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AGAIN, SO THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE EVAPORATOR COIL (THEY WEREN'T POSITIVE IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM OR NOT SINCE THE E. COIL SEEMED "O.K.") TO REPLACE THE E. COIL IT WOULD HAVE COST $1,100! SO, CHRYSLER REFERS ME TO A LOCAL, VERY REPUTABLE, AUTO A/C BUSINESS. WE TAKE IT THERE, 04/2005, THE A/C HOLDS A CHARGE ALL NIGHT AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANY LEAKS ANYWHERE, PLUS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE EVAPORATOR COIL. TODAY IS A MONTH LATER AND MY A/C IS NOT WORKING AGAIN! I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE.

THE HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, MAKING THE ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD DIFFICULT AT NIGHT, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. OWNER WILL CONTACT MANUFACTURER. *AK THIS CONDITION ALSO EXIST WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ALSO THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. *TT

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE AND ELECTRONICS HAVE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING 10 TO 40 MPH, ESPECIALLY DURING WET WEATHER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED WHEN THE BATTERY GETS WET AND TEMPORARILY SHORTENS OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY IS LOCATED IN A LOW LOCATION, FORWARD OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT TIRE WHERE IT CAN GET WET. CONSUMER RECOMMENDS A DESIGN CHANGE TO PREVENT THE BATTERY TERMINALS FROM BECOMING WET. *TT *SCC
