Used 2001 Chrysler Concorde Consumer Reviews
Nice car.
The 2.7 engine is a bit underpowered, and the transmission could use some refinement. Otherwise, the car is great. 70,000 miles and it's still as solid as the day I drove it off the lot. The only problem I had with the car was small gasket leak in the transmission. Very reliable compared to other American made vehicles. Chrysler vehicles should retain their value better.
happy car owner
I'm the original owner and have always babied my cars. I have to say I am very pleased with this vehicle and am SO thankful it has a 3.2 and not the infamous failing 2.7 motor. Lots of pep. With a few accessories it's a looker in town. The only downsides which I've learned to live with are wipers with a mind of their own which mechanics have no idea what's up with them. Just the intermittents. On my third factory radio. Door weatherstripping keeps shrinking and shrinking and causes it to hang. And as many chryslers, the factory chrome lettering is peeling off. Overall, I would recommend this car.
Great Car. Why Buy Import Luxury?
I have had my car for almost a year. Purchased it used with 57k on it. This car has all the bells and whistles as the more expensive import cars but half the price. The 3.2 engine is very strong but I still get mid 20's on the gas mileage. It is very comfortable on the inside and plenty of room. The trunk is so big "You can fit 5 bodies in there." The only problem I have had is having to replace the weather stripping due to shrinkage and the headlights filmed over a little. There is no reason to purchase a more expensive import car when these cars are half the price and just as reliable. Take it from me I am a sales manager at an import dealership. Just follow the scheduled maintenance.
A Future Classic
This vehicle has had no motor or drivetrain problems. Two electric window problems and twice the front transmission cooler lines had to be replaced. Car still looks great with regular washing and annual polishing. Mobil 1 used since bought -7500 mile oil and filter changes. Hope to get 200,000 miles from car.
Engine Failure
I purchased this vehicle new in December 2000. The car performed well until Feruary of 2005 when at 98,000 miles, the motor began making a noise and the oil light came on. Diagnostic tests revealed that the engine was destroyed due to oil starvation from oil sludge. The vehicle would require a replacement of the 2.7 liter engine. Faced with this option I decided to replace the car. Research over the past few weeks has revealed that the Chrysler 2.7 liter engine appears to have many problems. I would seriously recommend that anyone purchasing this vehicle type with tis motor, perform a in-depth check of the engine.
