I've heard nothing but horrible things about the 2.7, yet I've never experienced nearly the amount of hardships anyone else seems to have with this engine. My wife (fiance at the time) bought this car in July '04 with 31k miles on it. It's been nothing short of a workhorse for us. Of course at around 50k miles, the check engine light came on, and looking around online, I found tons of reports of the dreaded engine sludge fiasco, but it seems mine was a later 2001 model that avoided this issue. The light turned out to be for an emission issue that didn't affect how well the car ran. Now, in 2013, nearing 150k miles, I still drive it 60 miles a day with minimal upkeep.
167,000 strong... good bang for the family sedan buck!

The 3.2 liter models were superb to other offerings at the time. If you don't like the exterior design, add a spoiler, and voila! This car is reliable, has never failed me. I have kept with regular maintenance since I received it at 114,000 miles, and the previous owner kept it and recorded it as well. The only major problems I've encountered is the ABS pump failing (not a huge deal) and my frame was warped when I drove over an unmarked curb, causing a clunk I can't eliminate despite all new front suspension. I can't blame Chrysler for a business not marking their curbs. Overall, a great car. I've met owners with 250K on their daily drivers, I'm sure this one will make it!

Mine had very low mileage for the year and as a result somethings are in exceptional shape other things time is not great for so I’m looking at air conditioning replacement and a few other things that don’t age well with time. The car is exceptionally roomie very comfortable and stylish good looks and I understand it’s one of the first cars totally created by a computer as far as optimization of space aerodynamics etc. 3.2 L engine is spirited enough to move the car briskly you might think it’s a luxury sports car of sorts. I find service parts to be reasonably price and the only complaint I could have his gas mileage around town is 15ish. You get the best gas mileage obviously on the highway but mostly because the car is low presents very little wind drag so it doesn’t require the horsepower you would think for car of the size at highway speed. I.e. it’s aerodynamically slippery . Interior is very well appointed and a classy style not soon to fade. Although it has no gps or MP3/booth to othe smart link, find an old cassette adapter and plug in your smartphone and voila....state of the art nav and music plus phone calls lol perfect.

My concord has 350,000 kilometers on her and she purrs like the first day she was purchased. regular fluid changes and minor undercarridge replacements, other than that, its very quick for a large car, best car I ever had, hope to make it to 500,000 ks at least.
This car is worth it

I must admit that I initially thought this car was for a senior citizen when I first looked at, when my father wouldn't take it, I kept it and boy am I glad I did. Fuel efficiency is great, it takes 87 gas unlike my Cadillac and the acceleration with the 6 cyl engine rivals that of a sports car. The ride is soft and roomy. I really have no complaints. Nothing has broken down ever, and I've put about 80,000 miles on this car in 2 years and it already had a 100,000 on it when I bought it.

I bought the car in 03 with 67k miles in 07 120k 60k later timing chain went 130k all four struts needed to be replaced and the front hubs were shoot. Now a 167k the transmission axle on the passenger side is loose and and noisy. Father don't buy this car for your daughter's first car to take to college. Other minor issues are door windows move slow and the window control switches won't stay in place. When i bought the car it rode great and still looks great but every 30 thousand i have to put in the shop for a major repair i love the car but i don't think i would buy it again.
Great Road Car

This is an all around great touring car that has a luxury feel and is loaded with extras. The leather interior is gorgeous, and the car easily and comfortably holds 5 adult passengers on long trips. MPG is 23 city and 29 hwy if your tires are kept inflated. In the two years I have owned the car, I needed to replace the A/C condensor and the battery. Both are more costly than necessary as the under hood arrangement does not make it easy for your mechanic. This is my third Concorde since 1994 and I will miss them when they are all gone!
It's been a love/hate relationship : )

Purchased with 29,000 miles - at 92,000 had to replace my engine. Although I had done oil changes regularly the engine was caked with gunk! I still owed...so I replaced it and am using premium gas and better quality oil. So far with the refurbished engine I've put 72,000 miles on it. Other than the car just up and dying on me the one time, it's been extremely reliable, starts great, still runs smooth and has been roomy enough to accommodate my growing children. The paint job still shines. When I'm ready to purchase another car I will consider a Chrysler again, with a different engine.
What a Nightmare

I purchased a pre-owned 2001 Chrysler Concorde LXi with a 3.2 L V6 engine. While we have all heard stories about the previous owner being an old lady that babied the car, in this case, I knew the owner and knew that to be the case. The car had been maintained by a local Chrysler dealership with 3,000 mile oil changes and had 42K at the time of my purchase. At around 50,000 the transmission welded itself solid, common problem with this model. Now at 75K it has major engine failure. What a piece of junk. Chrysler should be ashamed. And this is on top of the fact that the trunk supports are weak and the trunk constantly falls on your head when retrieving items from it. My first Chrysler & my last

My wife and I went shopping for her new car. She didn't really know what she wanted and I couldn't believe she picked this big Chrysler (she was only 30 at the time.) She said my Taurus was too big. This has been a fantastic car. The ride is wonderful, has plenty of power for a V6 in a big car, and hers has every feature. It has completely changed my view of the Chrysler product and makes me want one as well. Plus, we bought at the end of the year and got thousands off the sticker, below invoice even.
Love this Car

Needed to purchase a second car since we gave our second car to daughter who totalled hers. We came upon this model and it was in MINT condition. No scratches or stains. Beautifully maintained mechanically and in appearance. Pleased to see high owner satisfaction ratings. This helped make our decision easier. We love this car. In fact, my wife said "I'M DRIVING THIS CAR," and she turned over the mini-van ("her car") to me. The design is contemporary and an eye-pleaser. The ride is luxurious. Every option is available.
Beware the LX model with the 2.7 liter!

I purchased the car used (with the 2.7 liter engine) as a a roomy rather fuel efficient, full sized family vehicle. The car had 65,000 at the time of purchase. Less than a year later, at 75K, the internal water pump failed and flooded the engine with coolant, and also a loose exhaust valve guide caused the valve to wiggle and not seat seat properly, in turn causing damage to the valve seat. Hence the cylinder wouldn't hold compression. The total cost of repairs was $2,481 !! The 2.7 liter has an awful reputation of premature, catastrophic failures. Research the web!! I did, but it was too late for me! Stay away from the 2.7. Trust me.
Very nice, very good, but trans sucks

I bought a 19 months old LXI with 20,000 on odometer to replace my 1993 LXI. The car is great, but the transmission is tuned so the RPMs rarely go below 2000 under 40mph. This makes the fuel economy in city traffic worse. Also the trans does not down shift fast enough. The other problem that I have with the car is damage it sustaines in collisions. I had a low speed front end collision 4 months after buying the car (first accident ever). The damage was massive. I learned that the bumper with this grill is not very durable.

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.
Good Car

Interior Finish Work- Poor

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.
