Is the Chrysler Concorde a reliable car?
- Thread starter ShyAnne
- Start date
The Concorde/LHS was discontinued in 2004. There are no 2005 or 2006 models. They were replaced by the 300 which has developed a reputation for being troublesome.
From the Consumer Reports review:
The Concorde and the longer LHS were the most luxurious of Chrysler's large front-wheel-drive "LH" sedans. The LHS provides comfortable accommodations for five, but the Concorde feels comparatively tight. Both handle nimbly for their size, with well-weighted and communicative steering. They ride pleasantly even on rough roads. The 253-horsepower V6 engine is the one to get. The 2.7-liter has less power and is no more efficient. Both engines are noisy and unrefined. The LHS was redesigned in 1999, and dropped after 2001. The Concorde soldiered on until 2004.
Their repair data shows the Concorde to be about average in needing repairs. The Fuel system is the major trouble spot along with minor transmission problems.
You can probably read their review at your local library. They should have a copy of the annual auto issue which came out last month.

they are reliable, as well as comfortable. The ride's smooth and quiet, and it has decent power. But be advised. You will be driving a ticking time bomb. After you roll over 150,000 miles, sometimes less, you're treading on thin ice. My mom was driving along, and it just died. No warning lights, no crazy explosion, just died. We hauled it in, and discovered that the water pump (which was brilliantly placed IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE by a computer programer, not a mechanic) exploded, sending water into the crankshaft, cam, pretty much everywhere you don't want water. It was a good car by all acounts, and we were sad to see it go, but when it finally lets go, it'll cost more to fix than the car's worth.
