- Front Suspension Issues: The front suspension of the Chrysler Concorde is known for its poor design, with owners reporting issues related to suspension and struts. One owner reported spending a significant amount of money on the suspension and struts of their 2002 Concorde, only to experience more noise two months later.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with the 2.7 engine. Despite hearing some negative things about it, I've actually had a great experience with mine. My wife bought our car back in July '04 with 31k miles on it, and it's been a reliable workhorse for us ever since. We did have a scare when the check engine light came on around 50k miles, but it turned out to be a minor emission issue that didn't affect the car's performance. I know there have been reports of engine sludge problems with some models, but luckily ours was a later 2001 model that avoided this issue. Now, in 2013 and nearing 150k miles, I still drive it 60 miles a day with minimal upkeep. Overall, I'm really happy with our car and wanted to share my positive experience with you.

Vehicle year: 1999
This is the best car I have ever driven! The style is outstanding, the ride is smooth, the tracking is excellent, and the 3.2L engine provides more than enough power with good gas mileage. The handling is superb, partly due to the 16 inch rims with 60 ratio tires. I must say, Chrysler really outdid themselves on this one. Even after 3 and a half years, I still enjoy it just as much as ever. Oh, and the front plate goes on a bracket the dealer installs in the middle of the grill, which works out okay.

Vehicle year: 2003
We had an amazing trip! We drove 1900 miles in just two days, without stopping. We spent 17 hours on the way there and 14 hours on the way back, but we were comfortable the whole time. We even managed to average 26mpg while driving at 80mph most of the time, with the AC running.

I have a 2000 Chrysler Concorde with a 2.7L engine, gold exterior, and beautiful black leather interior. The center console and bucket seats provide a comfortable ride for long trips. The car has 150,000 miles on the odometer, but it has been very reliable. I purchased it in 2013 with only 75,000 miles on it. The car has excellent handling and provides excellent highway gas mileage for a large car. On my monthly trips from Baltimore to Scranton, Pennsylvania, I average 27-28 MPG, and on my return trip, I average 30-31 MPG. The car has plenty of interior room, especially in the back seat, and a large trunk area. The exterior styling is beautiful and sleek, and the interior leather seats, console, instrument panel, and dashboard are very attractive. The car is fairly quiet and very smooth on a blacktop highway with good tires. However, it can be quite noisy on concrete highways and concrete bridge overpasses. I am hoping that a new set of Michelin Defender tires will lower the road noise on concrete roads. Overall, the noise in the cabin is probably about average, with most noise coming from the road, some wind noise, and a slight amount of engine noise. The car has limited interior headroom for a tall person, and limited visibility, which makes parallel parking very difficult. It is very difficult to judge where the front and back of the car are when parallel parking. The transmission will buck a bit if you slow down for a red light, but then accelerate if the light turns green before you come to a complete stop. Consequently, I make sure to accelerate very slowly in this situation. (I did have to replace a transmission sensor in my previously owned 1999 Chrysler Concorde because of accelerating before coming to a complete stop).The 2.7L engines may experience sludge build-up, so it's important to replace the engine oil every 3000-5000 miles. I recommend using Castrol GTX, an anti-sludge oil. The battery is located in the right front wheel well, which can be a bit tricky to access. Replacing the headlights and bulbs can also be a bit challenging. The braking may feel a bit mushy, but this is normal for this car. Overall, this car is reliable, beautiful, fuel efficient, roomy, and handles well, especially if you take good care of the engine and transmission. To keep the engine and transmission in good condition, it's important to replace the engine oil frequently and accelerate slowly. Avoid accelerating quickly from a stop or before coming to a stop, and the transmission should be fine. The overhead cam sensors on these engines may go bad before 100K, but they can be easily and inexpensively replaced within 20 minutes if you have any mechanical aptitude.

I have owned Cadillac's for the previous 12 years, but recently bought a Chrysler for better gas mileage. I am extremely happy with my Concorde Limited. Despite putting 36k miles on it every year, I have had no problems with it. It has all the options I was used to in my caddy and has held up much better. I highly recommend this car to anyone!
Are you having problems with your Chrysler Concorde?

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to let you know that while this car may not have the best performance or fuel economy, it's definitely comfortable and a pleasure to drive. Take care!

I bought this certified 2.7 LIT, 2000 Chrysler Concorde with 67,000 miles in February 2004. Unfortunately, after just 2 months, the front hub assembly failed, and then 2 months later, the engine started vibrating and the oil light stayed on. I had to get the engine replaced, and then just 2 weeks later, the speed sensors needed to be replaced. After a year and 3 months, the engine failed again. It's frustrating that I'm still paying for the car note and full insurance while it's just sitting there.

We received this vehicle from a family member and are now looking to pass it on to someone else. We recently took it to the dealership to have the gas smell checked out under a recall, but unfortunately, they informed us that the recall was not active for our vehicle. However, they offered to perform a diagnostic for $90. We have noticed that the ABS and traction control have failed, and the vehicle shakes quite a bit when idling. Despite these issues, we are hopeful that someone else will find value in this vehicle. Thank you for considering it!

I was given this former company car as a gift about a year ago. It has been well-maintained with frequent oil changes and preventive maintenance. The car runs great and has more pick-up than my 2002 Olds Aurora, even though it has more or less the same size engine (3.5). I had a prior Concorde (a 1993 model) that had more problems, including a transmission failure at about 60k miles. There were a few maintenance issues such as the fuel gauge being replaced, oxygen sensors (twice), and power steering pump. However, there were no problems with the drive-train on this one. Overall, I believe it is a good value for the money.
Marlin Purdy 2025-04-16

We received this car from an estate and it was very well taken care of, with only 62,000 miles. The car drives and handles great, and the interior and trunk space are more than adequate. Although we've had to deal with some minor weather stripping problems, we believe that overall it's a great car. However, we did experience an issue with the engine, which unfortunately was not resolved to our satisfaction. We hope that Chrysler will take better care of their customers in the future. Thank you for considering our experience.
