2004 Chrysler Concorde

I WAS DRIVING WEST ON HWY 8, GOING 5-10 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT AND A VEHICLE AT A SIDE ROAD WAS STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. HOWEVER, HE THEN PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME INSTEAD OF WAITING, SO IT WAS HIS FAULT. HE EVEN SAID IT WAS HIS FAULT, AND HE WAS IN A HURRY AS IT WAS HIS LAST MEAL TO DELIVER FOR MEALS-ON-WHEELS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH BACK PROBLEMS AND MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS EVER SINCE, AND STILL TRYING TO WORK. ALSO, THE POLICE REPORT SAID THE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED, HOWEVER THEY DID NOT COMPLETELY DEPLOY; THEY STARTED TO BUT THAT WAS ALL, AND PICTURES WILL PROVE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I DO NOT KNOW THE RECALL NUMBER FOR OUR 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. PS: LOOKS LIKE THE POLICE REPORT IS MORE THAN 5MB SO HOW DO I SEND THAT TO YOU? *DT

WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE AT A STOP LIGHT, MY CAR TRIES TO QUIT. WHEN I SLOW BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE LUNGES UPON CONTINUING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE TIMING CHECKED, BUT THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I CAN SMELL GASOLINE WHEN MY VEHICLE ACTS UP. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY 12 YEAR OLD SON. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WORKING FOR $ 9.00 AN HOUR. I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO WORK, BUT I'M AFRAID OF IT, AND I JUST DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND REPAIRED! I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT MIGHT HAVE A RECALL ON IT, BECAUSE SO MANY OTHERS DO!

MAY 21, 2013 AT ABOUT 8 AM I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON, IT STARTLED & SHAKEN ME TO THE POINT THAT IT ALMOST CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT OR GUNSHOT TO MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE I SEEN A FLASH, I PULLED OVER AND EXIT TO THE NEXT OFF RAMP TO CALM MYSELF FOR ABOUT 25 MIN THEN DROVE MY CAR TO THE CAR DEALER SERVICE AREA HOPING THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY ON MY FACE AS I DROVE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND HOPE TO HAVE SOME ONE LOOK INTO THIS VERY DANGEROUS FAULTY AIRBAG ISSUE THAT I'VE ENCOUNTERED AND FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT. THANK YOU *TR

THE CAR HEAD LIGHTS & DASH LIGHTS DIM WHEN DRIVING. IF YOU PLAY WITH CONTROL SWITCH IT SOMETIMES MAKES THEM WORK RIGHT. CAR STALLS AND DOESN'T WANT TO RESTART. WE HAVE DONE THE RECALL FOR EXHAUST. THE A/C ALL THE SUDDEN STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN STALLING AND NOW DOES NOT WORK MAKES A HISSING SOUND. I HAVE KEPT THIS CAR IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAVE IT MAINTAINED & SERVICED REGULARLY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SENSORS REPLACED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REFUSES TO GO OFF. I PUT IT IN THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE GAS CAP WAS LOOSE. THAT WASN'T THE CASE, CAR IS NOW SITTING IN DRIVEWAY UNABLE TO START. HAD THE HEADS REMOVED AND FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED AND CAR STILL WON'T RUN. *TR
