2.7 will fail

We bought this car new and we loved it. The first 120,000 miles we had no problems at all. Then the door locks started to make a bad noise when you use them. Then the engine blew. We have found out that about 2/3 of all the 2.7L engines have blown and there might be a class action suite against Chrysler. If you do get a Concorde DO NOT get the 2.7L engine. I know of engines failing anywhere from 15,000 on up. We have had a few Chrysler vehicles in the past but I will never buy another one again, it is a shame because I have a relative who works for them.

I Love my 2000 Chrysler. I Love the leg room. I was also surprised at the 26.5mpg on my 120 mile commute from Eugene to Salem every day. This is the Only Big car I need.

What can I say, just a solid, reliable but boring ride! No issues in five years, reliability is really underrated for these cars. HUGE trunk and back seat, with two kids it hauls all sorts of stuff. Resale is horrible so if you're looking for one they are a bargain!
Its OK!

Bought the car from my grandfather, who had bought it new. The car is nice but I have a few complaints. First the steering wheel does not return to center after releasing while turning. Also lots of road noise.

I have owned this vehicle for four years, and am amazed at how little maintenance it requires. After 68,000 miles, the engine still purrs like the day it was made, and has required no repairs. One word describes how this car rides: smooth. There are plenty of places to put coffee, too, with two cup holders in front and two in back. The seats are comfortable, with plenty of leg room for all passengers. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a big sedan. It has lots of interior space, a huge trunk, and is very reliable. The mileage is also pretty good; I average 26 MPG on my daily commutes.

I purchased mine used from a dealer after a three year lease was up by another owner. Drove well for the first while. At 74,000 miiles the 2.7 L engine blew, need to repalce or rebuild. After doing much research I found many major problems with this engine. Oil sludge builds up and the parts do not get lubricated. Chyrsler is not accepting responsiblity. Many, many people are stuck with repair bills in the thousands of dollars. I would not buy another.
Solid, reliable car

Good car that averages about 20 mpg in the city and anywhere from 30-33 mpg. Lot's of room and easily accomodates 5 passengers. Yes the engine power is a little on the lower side, but that's to be expected with such a large car being pushed by a 2.7l six cylinder. Huge trunk and plenty of room. We've had the car for almost four years and 47,000 miles; the only thing I've replaced is the windshield wipers. The OEM brake shoes will need changed soon.

I bought this car after rolling into the dealership in a car that wouldn't move anymore. Overall, I have been very pleased with the car. I have had no mechanical problems with it so far (knock on wood), and it is truly a luxury car for the person who doesn't want to pay for a luxury car.

I love this car. It is fun to drive and very comfortable. It has been a reliable car too that I would recommend to anyone. I, however, have also had door lock actuators go bad. Two of them sometimes choose to not unlock.

I bought my car used from a private party and love the way it looks and feels. Unfortunately, it tends to be sitting motionless in my driveway due to frequent breakdowns. Currently, it is at a dealership and in need of a $5000 new engine due to a thrown rod. It has less than 75,000 miles on the engine, so what gives? My 1990 GMC Suburban with 200,000 on the original engine and transmission is much more reliable, although not nearly as attractive. The engine episode is just the latest of a series of problems, large and small. I'll never, EVER own a Chrysler again. Lesson learned. Point me to the Hondas.
Love it except for one thing!

I love my Chrysler Concorde LXI! Smooth ride, nice handling, sporty looks! Under warranty, my car has had the radio replaced 2 times for shorting out! The only thing I don't like is that there is no room for a front license plate & I got a ticket today for no front plate!

The Concorde is one of the few cars available (and affordable) with good gas mileage that can hold five people in any comfort. Last year I averaged 29 mpg over 68000 miles of mostly highway driving. Driver seat comfort and ride quality are excellent. In other seating positions anyone over 5'10" may have problems with headroom. Road noise is a bit high for this caliber car.

I bought the car new from dealer and had 66,000 miles on it with a near perfect maintenance record, then this past week, the check engine light came on. I was told by the dealer I would need a rebuild engine at a cost of almost $8,000. I have since learned at various web sites, this is a common problem due to the infamous 2.7 liter engine and excessive oil sludge. A second, independent repair shop indicated this is a long known problem. After buying four brand new Chrysler cars over the past 20 years, I'm extremely disappointed with how they are taking care of (now-former) long term customers.
A Really Good Car !

To support our retirement's fixed income in May 2004 we paid cash and our 93 Jeep Cherokee for a dark-red Concorde LXi (tan interior) with 49000 miles. It was a great choice. With its peppy 3.2L V6 it's a good looker and (even for me at 72) fun to drive. It's now 9 yrs old with 72000+ miles and hasn't given us any problems whatsoever. When we bought it we chose to replace it's battery and tires, tinted it's windows and have changed it's oil every 3000 miles - nothing more - and today it still drives like a new car with reliability and very good fuel economy! The sole criticism is a higher level of road noise than it should have on an interstate. Other than that it's a really good car.
Reliable and Great Value

Bought this one new. It is extremely reliable, inexpensive to maintain, has the ride of a luxury car 3x the price, has the fuel economy of a car half the size and handles like a charm. This car has to be one of the most under-appreciated, under-rated American cars ever built! Wish I'd bought two of 'em!
One of the best!

This car has been excellent, fun to drive, gas mileage 22/28 with the 3.2V6, no repairs up to now. Love the interior space, the exterior looks, all of this on regular gas. A most comfortable car, fairly quiet and very good suspension. Chrysler hit a home run on this one; it's a shame that it was discontinued.

Only because we added a 4th child! I've really liked this car and have all the bells/whistles, but need more room. My only grip: DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS!!! I replaced three of them (three separate doors) within 1 year of each other. SHEESH! Incidentally, the USMC bought a fleet of these cars to transport their general officers!

I've had this car for a couple years now. Use to own a smaller car. This is one comfortable car to drive. The surprise to it is the gas mileage I've been able to get with it. I've had as high as 35mpg with it. On a long trip taking the I-80 from CA to IA. I had some tanks of gas I was able to get 35mpg, most of the time I was able to get 30mpg. When I had a big car in the early 80's I was lucky to get 15mpg.

180k miles plus, doesn't burn a drop of oil, no leaks or drips. A starter at 175k, $6 thermostat @ 165k and brakes. You can't ask for any more than that. 30 MPG on average, set of platinum plugs at 100k and that is it. The original battery just went out!! AMAZING, big car has a powerful 3.2 engine. Chrysler would own the auto world if they built all of them like this!!

I purchased my Concorde in 2006. I'd been looking for one for over 6 months. When I found this one it rode out smooth, everything worked and it had 121,000 miles on it. I've since had it for almost three years and with it being used I've loved having it. I've never had to fix it, I used high mileage oil for performance and keep all my fluids changed as suggested. I love my Concorde.

I previously owned a '96 Concorde with 3.3 L engine; a great car. We bought this car used, with the 2.7 L engine. The engine selfdestructed at less than 52,000 miles due to the timing chain problem. There are many web sites detailing this problem with this engine. Chrysler denies any help. Changing the headlamp bulb requires removing the front fascia!
I'm so happy!

I drove the car to the beach(700 Miles) and got 29 mpg. I was very pleased. The car has been a dream to drive and very, very comfortable. It's silver and beautiful. It has every feature I want or need(it's an LXi).

Owned the car since new,extremely reliable car. No major issues, car has 165,000 miles, replaced brake booster/ battery at 163K, brakes/ struts at 100k, original engine/ transmission, does not use oil or leak. Oil is changed every 3000 miles, all fluids replaced per the Chry schedule. Plan to drive the car for 1 more year at which time will replace due to the Michigan road salt rust
Very reliable

I do all types of driving. This car is very comfortable and rides the best of any car I have owned. I have had no problems with the car----Zero. I had front brakes installed at 72,000 miles. This is about normal for any car. Gas mileage on an interstate trip tops out at 30.6 to 30.8 any time on a trip.This is cruising at 65-72mph.

Problems with the power windows. Required all four power motors to be replaced. I only replaced driver's side. Didn't favor side blockage of windsheild. Easy to miss oncoming traffic! Loud wind noise interior. Alarm could not be fixed so unable to lock all doors without having alarm go of unexpectedly at times.

POOR INTERIOR WORKMANSHIP - Finish color coming off dashboard (paint instead of dyed plastic). Power window operation makes crunching sound when going up and down - due to poor molding fit-up.Weather stripping on all 4 doors have shrunk away from doors (poor material selection or glue job), with 3/4" gaps and do not seal or keep out road noise. Plastic door molding delaminating due to manufacturing defect (bad glue job)- never had any type of problem like this in any other car. Exterior black weather stripping parts become badly damaged by UV rays and look worn. CD player wore out in 4 yrs. Front dashboard speaker failed in 2 yrs. Just overall poor quality workmanship and or components

Previously own a Chrysler LHS: Wonderful car. Now own the Concord Lxi that is simply beautiful inside and out: Country blue and black interior. Prefer cloth as leather burns in the hot Texas weather. The interior is comfortable with all creature comforts like hidden treasures. Multi use accessories show attention to detail for creature comfort. This is a great car.

The exterior styling is elegant and modern. The interior is well-designed and roomy. The overall build quality is light years ahead of previous LH series vehicles, with nary a squeak or rattle to be heard. The ride and handling are first rate: smooth and well-controlled with no "american full-size floatiness". Although a couple of the little switches do have a less-than-premium feel to them, the overall package is a solid and well-built vehicle.
Reliable so far, but likely not for long..

I'm driving this car as a hand-me-down with ~160k miles on it. It has no A/C, trunk lid hydrolics gone, weather stripping is falling completely off, two windows won't fully roll down, driver's side window has gone off-track twice, the front passenger door won't unlock without reaching over and unlocking it from inside, the auto-lock/unlock sounds hideous now, and the front passenger door speaker crackles (not from loud music, this car came from my sweet little grandmother.) The performance is acceptable for daily driving, but has unacceptable passing acceleration. About the only good thing I can say about this car is that it's definitely roomy and the seats are comfortable and durable.
