On christmas day driving with my son to my mothers home about one hour away, I exited the freeway and stopped at the signal. When the signal turned green, I pushed the gas, the car did not respond. I checked to verify that the car was in drive. Put the car in park, and attempted to restart the engine. The engine did not respond. The vehicle was pushed to a park and ride, then towed to the dealership. The dealership reports that the engine seized, and is destroyed beyond repair of the value of the vehicle. There was zero warning. The vehicle did not lose any fluid. There were not any warning lights registering inside the vehicle. The make is a Chrysler Concorde. It is a 1997, with 97,000 miles. Up until that moment the vehicle was ideal. Then within ten feet it is destroyed beyond repair, without any type of warning.
