It's a Keeper
This is my second Concorde. I like its style and my previous experience with the same model and my local dealership made me hardly consider any other car. I'm never embarrassed to give someone a ride, always enjoy its comfort on long trips, yet get good enough gas mileage to drive by myself. I'll drive it to 200,000.
Love it at 1st - - Then the repairs came
I love the car when I 1st bought it (used). It only had 59K miles on it. I thought it was a steal. Perhaps 6 months after the purchase I know why. I started hearing rumbling/throttling noise that sounded internal. Smaller garages wouldn't touch the problem. No engine lights were on. I thought Chrysler would know what it was better then anyone. They're more expensive but they would know their car better than anyone. I had to replace the crank shaft at a cost of $3,100. I contacted Chrysler to see if they could help cover some of the cost since it only had 66K miles on it but they were no help. The dealer kept my car for 8 days with no loaner. Now the A/C is shot & the engine light is on!

2002 Black Concorde Limited
We just bought this 2002 Limited. WOW! Superior styling and quality inside and out. The cavernous interior is extemely comfortable with fully powered, heated leather seats. The stereo system featuring a 4 changer CD and cassette player has plenty of power and sound seen rarely in a factory system. The exterior is flawless and the panels all fit together with the slightest gaps. The doors, trunk, and hood close with a soild "Thump" with no rattles or clanks. Since we bought this car, I have been asked by several people, "What is that?" I believe most had know idea that Chrysler made such a high quality product. It feels good "It's a Chrysler!"
An LHS and now This :)
Well I've had this car almost 8 years now and I have to agree that it's one of the best cars I've ever owned. I have under 60000 miles on it and no major repairs and only a few items that need attention. The black trim on the hood close to the windshield has faded and required frequent buffing. A few cracks on the drivers seat. Had to replace the climate control, easy and cheap $30 ebay part.
Great Car
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.
Great Value for what we Paid...
Bought the car at a great price and right from the beginning had great Customer Service. Have only had minor problems with the car (Thermostat), other than that, both my wife and I love the car. Initially rented a Concorde for the Christmas Holidays and we fell in love with it. I have a bad back and there are some car seats that are just not good for my back, this car was exceptionally comfortable. My wife thought the Leather seats would be cold in the winter and hot in the summer, but we both found that they warm up quickly in the cold and with the efficient Air Conditioning, cool down quickly when hot.
Concorde
We took a 1900 mile trip in two days nonstop 17 hours there 14 hours back and were comfortable the hole time. avg 26mpg at 80 mph most of the time with ac running.
Gorgeous
This is a gorgeous automobile !!! Fit and finish are exceptional, just flawless !!! With a great ride and exceptional handling / road manners for such a large car, I think the Concorde / Intrepids are the best value for the dollar in the auto industry today.
Better than the first
I thought I enjoyed my old '97 Concorde, until I traded it for this one! The Limited has a peppy engine, that still gets good gas mileage - about 23 mpg. The handling and performance reminds me of a vintage corvette. There's more room in this car than some efficiency apartments, and it's got about every luxury feature, except GPS/mapping and a lowjack.
Excellent car
Outstanding vehicle, with lotsa of power and lotsa of room. Bought new and wouldn't sell it for anything don't think we could be any happier withthe overall preformance period. By the way this is what the Marine Corps uses as their staff car for generals.
Best Car I've Ever Owned
I have owned Cadillac's for the previous 12 years, but bought a Chrysler for better gas mileage. I couldn't be happier with my Concorde Limited. I put 36k a year on it and I have had no problems. It has every option I was used to in my caddy and has held up 10x better. I would highly recommend this car to anyone!!!
Outstanding Car at a great price
Love this car and everything about it.. I drive a truck and this is my wives car and I always look forward to geatting to drive it. The amount of room inside is great, even if you sit behind me (6'2") there is still plenty of room. Plan on keeping this car a long time..
Nice car so far
So far this car has been a joy to drive. After dealer checked for front door speaker function after letter from Chrysler, the right front door speaker quit. Hard to notice though with the 10 speaker system. Leather appointments are nice. Steering wheel with 1/2 leather 1/2 simulated wood trim makes for easier operation. Nice luxury ride, with ample pax room. 2 flat tires (slow leaks) are the worst things we have experienced. Best MPG has been 22.0.
The car
The car in general is ok - interior, exterior. But when I am at a light the noise inside my car is very loud, like a humming sound. Took it to the dealer they say it's nothing wrong with the car. But I have had 2000, which was total and it never sounded like this. Other than that, I love the size of the car, trunk size, room in the back for the tall ones and etc.
Good Choice
We traded in a '97 De Ville. While we miss a few things from the Caddy, this has proven to be a better car than we expected. Enough amenities to satisfy us, quite comfortable & roomy. The Concord rides very nice and handles beautifully. The power of the 250HP 3.5 V6 gave us the most pleasent surprise! If I didn't know better, I'd say it's got as much giddy-up as the '97 Northstar had! I put some new Firestons on it, & the northern Wisconsin winter has been nicely tamed.
2002 in distress
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.
New Car - November 2009
This is my 2nd Concorde I have owned. I just purchased this car Nov 9, 2009 as itr was a onw owner trade in with only 22,523 actual miles on it and I paid only $ 8500.00 for the car. It rides and looks like a new car !! Had to travel 305 mile one way to get it and it got 27.7 miles a gallon - not to bad !!!
Great Car!!
I bought the car with 44,000 miles on it. It is a great car! I love the power that comes in the 2.7 Lx package. The car has a lot of room and grea MPG! The only problem is that the car has trouble getting up hills not because of power but because of the transmission. Since it is a 4 speed automatic it you have to gas it to get it to shift down. When it does though it goes with no problems. I love the car! It has some trouble going throgh snow, but no really a problem other than that
Owned 2 years so far
I have owned my concorde limited for 2 years almost and i would have to say it has been one of the best cars i have ever owned. After 2 years and buying it used the only thing that i have had to fix is one tire from running over a nail. Unfortunately the only thing that i could complain about is the trim piece on the hood that has started to weather and the glaze has started to peel off other than that the car is great.
Expecting long troublefree ride
Excellent comfort. Good oomph. Only trouble with transmission at 39,000 due to issue with valve and broken hose due to minor accident- totally taken care with original 7 yr 70,000 powertrain and transmission warranty. Leased for 3 years and decided to purchase due to reliability and comfort. I would have had to pay 10k more for the standard conveniences. Brakepad changed at 38,000 miles - tires still originals with good thread still remaining.
Concorde
This is a great car. Lots of get up and go. Looks good. Good handling with a smooth ride. Really comfortable, great on long trips. Loads of interior and trunk room. Stereo sounds good.
What a Car
What a sound system. When I drive the car, feels like I am driving my corvette. I could not tell I was driving 90 mph on the Interstate.
simply the best
we have put 90k miles on this car in 4years. much more room on the inside compared to the Bonneville. the 3.5 h.o. engine has lots of pep. This has been the best car we have ever owned. the only repair was for an electric fan for the cooling system, that it in 90k and 4 years.
Great car, good value
We've been very happy with the car. Two long trips, 28-30 mpg crusing at 75 mph with the 2.7L V6. Room for three adults in the back, including my 6' 2" father in law. Large trunk. Handles pretty well, turns well for a large car thanks to the cab forward design.
Concorde Rocks
This is definately one of my favorite cars. Chrysler has done for the large sedan what it did for the convertible: completely set a new standard for design and value. The Concorde's ride is better than many 'luxury' vehicles I have ridden in, and it's options are well designed and appealing. The quality is great and the price is more than acceptable. I will definately buy again.
81,000 miles and still going strong
I bought a certified LX (2.7L V6) 3 years ago and it has served us very well. No major mechanical problems, just routine maintenance (changing fluids, brake pads, tires). Real-world fuel mileage averages in the 21-24MPG range (the advertised 28MPG only happens if you drive at or below 60MPH) Some minor electrical problems: window motor went out, flickering dome light. Those are the only reasons I didn't give it a 10 on build quality and reliability. I have had no engine problems with the 2.7.
Unhappy
The car is a very nice car when it runs. When the car reached 30,000 miles it fell apart. 2 Coil packs ,4- o2 sensors,5 thermostats ,1 cat. all trans lines and 1 big headache! All this in 2 years. The car now has 69,000 miles on it and still overheating. Stay away from this car!
pleased & disappointed
The car does idle rough when stopped. The reason we have been given is that the car computer is set to thin out fuel after the 2000 mile break-in period to give better fuel economy. Blind spots which are a concern. The heat/air controls have been noisy and blend door replaced.
One of my Best Cars
This has been one of the better cars I have owned. I get 28 MPG on the highway and around 21-22 mpg in the city. I have all the "bells and whistles" on it except for a moon roof. I maintain it on a regular basis and only have had the usual wear and tear like brakes and front end alignment. I hesitate to trade for an economy car as the mileage would not be that much better and I would sacrifice the ride and comfort.
Same Ol' Problems
After Caravan, Intrepid and now Concord: Air conditioning bad - 2 compressors already. Engine missfires, in shop 7 times no solution. Car is comfortable and when working fun to drive.
MY CONCORDE
I have had the car for a little over a year. There is plenty of power in the 3.5L 250hp engine. The transmission and ride are very smooth. The seats are comfortable and the interior build quality is good.The car is very nimble and handles well for a big car.There is a ton of room in the trunk and the cargo net is great for holding groceries from rolling about.
Easy rider
I now have 16,000 miles on my LXI and have had absolutely no problems with it. It is the best "road car" I've ever driven. I'm 61 years old and have never had a more comfortable, reliable ride.
Whats not to like
This car is AWESOME! I have 1300 miles on it now..The ride is great, soft,and takes bumps easy...The interior..What can I say....Soft seats, great stereo, room,room room.....The looks of this car is great...Under 28,500 loaded...i mean loaded....What more can i say
Into the 50's
I recently traded in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee for this vehicle. I was already familiar with the Concorde having had one in the mid 90's. I was truly delighted and satified with what Chrysler has done to this model. Lots of power both under the hood (engine) and dash (stereo). For the price this is porbably the best value of any car on the market. The interior and exterior looks are second to none. Having just turned 50 I'm enjoying myself as much as I did in the 60's- 70's with the muscle cars of that era. Living in Canada I would have thought that heated seat would be standard in the Lxi version.
MULTIPLE ISSUES
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
da bomb
It is a whisper quiet car and a very comfortable car. The price is exeptional for the car's performance, value and great looks.I will buy another Chrysler because I was plesantly pleased wuth the cars reliability, power and spacious interior size.
Bad sevice
Nice car that rattles down the road.We went to 3 dealers to fix problems and all three could not help.One of them swichted the tires on my car because I did not buy rear breaks from his shop.The car needs some help with rattles But it's fun to drive.I will not buy another crysler because the service is so poor
Best Car Ever
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).
Surprising Value
I purchased this 2002 Concorde off lease with 17,000 miles on it and now have 118,000 miles on it in under 4 years. The car handles well, gets anywhere from 26 to 30 miles per gallon depending upon where I'm driving (lots of rush hour stop & go) and I'm very pleased with it. The car has held up well and I recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well designed car.
2nd Concord
We originally bought a 1999 Concord LXI and when it was time to get a new car we knew based on past experience, that we wanted a new Concord. We were extremely happy with the performance and luxury options and have not been disapointed with the new car.
Rosenthal
Car is great if you are large, or tall It is not great for a small person.
I love this car
Smooth shifting comfortable machine. Plenty of pep and not the first problem. Grill ornament adds a classy look. Handles great. Nice interior add-ons (temp, direction,fuel mileage calculator and garage door opener. Very well built.
Concorde Limited Great Car!
Nice clean lines. Smooth looking dash, all the bells and whistles anyone could want, standard. Great abs,4wheel disc brakes for a car this size. Killer 360watt stereo and CD changer. Just turn the key and go. The car does everything for you automatically. Very smooth ride. Plenty of pep with the 250hp high output engine. No problem getting on the freeway with this baby!
Stupid sensors
This is a very nice car, only had one major problem, the fuel pump. However I keep having issues with oil sending unit. The part is only $11.00 at local auto part stores, but I have go through 4 of them. They sending unit leaks little drops of oil or the doggone oil pressure light comes on and goes off. The trunk don't like to stay open some times too.
6 months and 16kmi & no probs!!!!!
It is a large car, that averages 20.5 mpg with maybe 40-45% (65mph is less than 2k rpm) highway driving. It has space for 5 adults and ALL their stuff. The trunk is like a cavern. Preformance is excellent for 234hp an auto, and being a relatively large car. Fantastic brakes also. There has been one warranty repair, and that was because the antenna is in the rear window, and when the rear defrost was on it had a little static if listening to the radio, no biggie. Slightly rough idle, but is very reliable. You get a very nicely finished car for a great price, but you get a slightly rough idle that runs excellently. I see no problem there.

Nice car
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.
Chrysler 43 years later
This is the first Chrysler product that I have owned since 1959. The quality level is miles better than the last one. As you can see I have black listed their products for 43 years. I have owned several Ford products over the years but found that between 60k and 80k miles they fall apart. I have owned several GM products and continue to own, since new, a 1989 Cadillac DeVille with 125k miles on the odometer. I'd buy another Cadillac but they priced them out of my reach. I can only hope that my new Concorde will hold up over the next several years.
Loved the 2000 model- Hate the 2002 mode
This car rides like a truck.Without the luxery touring options,like my 2000 had,this car belongs in a junk yard.There are too many complaints to mention.Because of this,I will never buy a Chrysler again.It is unfortunate because I loved my 2000 model.
A lot for the money
Very nice design inside and out, excellent blend of performance, size, luxury and comfort for the money.
