Nice car

2002 Chrysler Concorde LX 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I bought the car on October 2006 with 54K miles and after three yrs and 40K miles more, works like new. At the beginning I was skeptical due to the Chrysler reputation, but I was wrong with it. For its size, its very comfortable for 5 adults, sometimes six. My car has leather seats and dark interior, which I liked. Until now, I have no complains with the engine, after all the terror stories I read after. Major fixes: A/C evaporator blown in summer 2009 ($400), faulty driver side power windows ($100), regular maintenance (tires, oil, brakes, etc.). The paint is OK but I find recently a few spots due to excess rain in Puerto Rico and the warranty doesn't cover it.

Favorite Features

2.7L engine does the work fine, good MPH for a car of that size, a lot of ammenities for the money, good initial quality (at least my car).

Suggested Improvements

Better warranty for exterior paint and corrosion. Radio with AUX entry for my IPod.

MULTIPLE ISSUES

Review

Shortly after we brought the car in for its 60000 mi maintenance which included coolant flush & fill, it overheated several times. We brought it back to the garage & they told us that some particle had gotten stuck in the system. They flushed & filled it again (no charge). A couple of years later it developed a fuel leak which goes away after engine warm up. We brought it back to the garage for this & they replaced the fuel injector seals but it still leaks. We have brought it back several more times but they cannot fix the problem. My suspicion is that the leak developed as a result of the engine overheating some years ago. Several other issues as well. Not enough space to write here

Favorite Features

Comfortable ride, good for long trips.

Suggested Improvements

Quality control needs to be greatly improved. While still under warranty, had to have drivers window power motor replaced, & right rear taillight & trunk rainwater leak repaired. Out of warranty, have had to replace right headlamp 2X. Car only 73000 mi. Not impressed w quality.

2002 in distress

2002 Chrysler Concorde LXi 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I have a 2002 Concorde LXI and I love it. Recently I was very disturbed to find that the part I need to fix my drivers side air bag is not in stock and possibly would be hard to find. This has made it difficult for me as I am at this time on vacation in Arizona and I live in Ontario Canada. So can you see what the problem is. I simply want to correct this situation before I head back another 3600 mile drive on the freeways. Seems to me that although my car is 7 years I am not to get the service and quality that Chrysler is always raving about. I just can't believe this is actually a problem. I have had through my business over 20 older cars and have never had a problem such as this.Help.

Favorite Features

All of them. Overall it's a beautiful car.

Suggested Improvements

Service your vehicle regardless of it's year. My car is in great shape and can't afford to have this problem. Would love to here back asap please. Thank you

Review

I bought this car used with the 3.5L engine in it in 2007 and since then I had no major problems with the vehicle other then the A/C which stopped working.It turned out to be a broken hose which cost me $275 to fix.Other than that ,do your general maintenance and the car will treat you right.Love the factory navigation unit it came with but updating the disc can be pricy if you get it from the dealer ($250).

Favorite Features

radio controls on the steering wheel, Navigation System , cd changer ,moonroof, leather seats

Suggested Improvements

Heated seats (not availble on LXI models), make Navigation disc updated maps cheaper in price ,seeing that you can only use a chrylser brand.

2002 Chrysler Concorde Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

The '02 Concorde Limited is a TEN. It's a cross b/t a Lexus and a Jaguar. I have the 3.5 H.O. aluminum block Motor- brand new rebuilt. Fully loaded and Black - awesome. - I recommend a set of 235/55rs/17 GOODYEAR EAGLE RS Tires - the difference in the ride quality is absolutely stunning and amazing compared to any other brand I've ever driven on.

Favorite Features

I like the 17" chrome spoke stock rims, heated seats, sunroof, stereo system w/ built-in cd changer, the controls on steering wheel, the leather and wide body- the back-seat is cool, the trunk is huge, it's a beautifully styled, seriously looking, hi-tech, sleek and impressive car.

Suggested Improvements

It's basically perfect in every way I think.
