Vehicle year: 2002
The car seems to be in good condition both inside and out. However, I have noticed that there is a loud humming noise when I am at a stop light. I took it to the dealer and they said there is nothing wrong with the car. Despite this issue, I really appreciate the size of the car, including the spacious trunk and roomy back seat for taller passengers.

Vehicle year: 1996
I bought this car used with under 18,000 miles and I have never regretted it. The sporty design, power, and handling caught my attention and it still holds up today. Out of all the cars I have driven, it is by far the most comfortable. I just can't seem to part with it. The car has a timeless appeal and durability that is hard to find. I have kept up with repairs and the paint still looks new. The only major expense has been maintaining the A/C, which has had a few costly leaks. Additionally, the A/C struggles to keep up with the black dash and dark leather interior in the 95 degree Charlotte NC heat. Despite this, at 170,000 miles, it still runs great!

Vehicle year: 1997
It's great to hear that you've owned this car since it was new! With 24 city and 30 highway mileage, it sounds like you've taken good care of it. It's impressive that you've driven over 185,000 miles and only needed your first non-scheduled service for the intake manifold gasket. Your regular maintenance routine of an oil change every 3K miles with Mobile-1 10w-30, spark plugs every 30K-40K miles, trans filter/oil every 60,000 miles, and timing belt, accessory belts, water pump, and radiator hoses at 120,000 miles is very thorough. It's understandable that you had to replace the power steering hose and fuel pump at 150,000 miles, but it's great that you were able to fix the manifold gasket and install new struts and engine cradle bushings at 185,000 miles. Overall, it sounds like you've taken excellent care of your car!

Vehicle year: 1998
I'm so glad I bought this used car! I was really impressed with the rear seat leg room - it's the best I could find. At first, I was a bit worried about the low front window, but I got used to it within days. Unfortunately, the main computer went out within 24 hours (@42000 miles) and the headlight gaskets creep out of place, but overall, I've only had one other non-major repair in the 147000 miles I've driven it. I love it almost as much as my Porsche! It feels so luxurious and rides like a dream. Plus, the gas mileage is surprisingly good. Even if you're 6 feet tall, you'll be comfortable in the rear seat. Another great feature is the pass-through to the trunk - it's so handy, especially when grocery items roll to the back of the trunk and I can't reach them any other way!

Vehicle year: 1999
If you're willing to overlook some minor issues like door handles, window motors, cup holders, and upper hood molding strips, you'll find that driving this car is an absolute pleasure and the ride is incredibly comfortable. I'm currently weighing my options between purchasing a new car or rebuilding the engine on my 143,000 mile Concord, which has been burning oil every couple of weeks. It's hard to find a car like this nowadays that's both affordable and luxurious.
Are you having problems with your Chrysler Concorde?
Dan Erdman 2025-08-18
Vehicle year: 2000
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.
Marcos Schmitt 2025-08-17

Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with my 1999 Concorde. I've been really diligent about changing the oil every 3,000 miles, but unfortunately, it recently broke down on my way to work and the mechanic said it needs a new engine. I was pretty disappointed to find out that this is a common issue with this car. Now I'm left with a car that's not worth much and I'll have to pay to have it taken away. I would recommend checking the internet for more information on this issue. Take care!
Jessie Pollich 2025-08-11
Vehicle year: 2000
Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my car. I bought it back in May of '06 with only 31K miles on it, and I thought I was getting a great value because of the low mileage. Unfortunately, a few days after I drove it off the lot, the cam sensors failed and the engine stopped running, leaving me stranded on the side of the road. It was repaired at a cost of approximately $400, plus the $90 tow. After that, it was okay, except that it burned oil. Now, at 69K miles, the engine has blown! I'm told it is a very common problem with the 2.7-liter V6 engine, and Chrysler has a kit to repair it. I'm told it will cost between $1000-$1700 to fix this problem. Although I love the looks of this car, it is not worth the trouble. It is comfortable to drive and has nice lines. However, I would not recommend this car to anyone due to the engine issues. Take care!
Edgar Dicki 2025-08-09
Vehicle year: 2000
My 2000 Concorde was a great car, but unfortunately the 2.7 engine had some issues. Despite taking excellent care of the car with regular oil changes every 3000 miles and transmission changes every 40,000, I was disappointed to learn that Chrysler was aware of the engine problems and did not take action. As a loyal customer who has purchased 5 Dodge/Chrysler vehicles in the past, I am disappointed in their lack of concern for their customers and products. I have since moved on and purchased a 2007 Ford, confident in its quality and reliability.
Omer Hoeger 2025-08-01
Vehicle year: 1999
I wanted a car that looked good and was fully loaded, and that's exactly what I got. Unfortunately, the car has spent more time with the mechanic than on the road. In less than 2 years, I had to replace the radiator, water pump/timing chain twice, cooling fan motors, starter, numerous sensors, 3 power window motors, fuel pump, and engine control module. I invested $5,000 in parts and repairs on top of the $5,800 I spent when I purchased it new. The car has been in the shop for over 8 weeks due to electrical problems, and I am hoping to get at least $250 for it as is. I will never buy a Chrysler product again.
