I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORD THAT HAS NEEDED REPEATED WORK. SOME HAS BEEN FIXED AND OTHERS NOT. MY FIRST COMPLAINT TO THEM WAS THE HEATER NOT COOLING. OF COURSE IT ALWAYS WORKED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT. I HAVE HAD THE PAINT TOUCHED TWO TIMES OVER THE DRIVER'S DOOR ON THE ROOF, THE SEAL WILL STAY AROUND THE HEAD LIGHTS. THE TRUNK LEAKED AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE CAR OVERHEATED ON THE 4TH OF JULY AND AGAIN THREE WEEKS LATER. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED AN OIL SEND RECEIVE SENSOR ON THE CAR BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO OVERHEAT AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON A HOT DAY. ON AUGUST 8, 2003 I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP HOT AND THEY HAVE HAD IT EVERY SINCE THEN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT, YET THEY WILL NOT CALL IT A LEMON. I NEED A CAR TO DRIVE AND I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT EVEN HAVE.*AK
