I purchased a 2002 Chrysler Concorde LX in February of 2005 and it was serviced at a key Chrysler Dodge and Jeep in xenia oh twice in March of 2005 for an internal oil leak which is now a recurring problem which is going to cost me at least 6500 dollars to fix!!!! Chrysler has no intentions on helping to fix my car! I still have a car payment with no car. This is very disturbing to me. Being that the oil leak couldn't of been fixed I can't possibly understand why they won't just fix the car. With several attempts to come to some type of agreement I have been unsuccessful. If anyone has any help as to how I can get my car fixed please let me know.

August 2005, my Chrysler concord's oil was changed by the dealership, twelve days later my cars engine was knocking loudly, the dealership told me I let the oil run low (which I had not)and sludge was also a problem within the lower engine. They changed the oil again for free, and flushed the sludge from the engine, at my cost. Now two months later my cars engine is blown up from the sludge problem in the engine. The dealership park Dodge @ 301-737-0088 is quoting me 7,500 to replace the engine. I owe 6,000 on the vehicle which is my final 12 months of payments. My engine has 88,000 miles on it and has been taken very good care of. I have been told four times by the service representative and a salesmen these 2.7 concord engines have a bad sludge problem which causes each engine to be replaced. They stated Chrysler is not owning up to the problem.

2002 Chrysler concord LX. Consumer complained of an engine failure. It first started by the engine knocking and light colored smoke from the tail pipe. The car was maintained with oil changes every 3000 miles. Took T vehicle O dealer, and they said it was not under warranty. Then engine specialist said vehicl needed a brand new engine at the cost of $5500. I was told by the engine specialist that there is defect in the oil pump and it will not maintain oil pressure and this causes oil sludge and this in turn locks the engine up. I have only owned the car 7 months I bought it used and I still owe $9000. On this car now. I have did research on the internet and found at least 900 other cases of this problem.
