Owner-reported

2000 Chrysler Concorde mileage at failure

206 of the 307 complaints on file for the 2000 Chrysler Concorde give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Engine	Median 70,000 miles	Middle half 60,000–85,000 miles	Based on 151 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Complaints received before December 15, 2002 rarely give a mileage, so they aren't counted here.

Mileage from NHTSA's complaints file of October 31, 2026. How these figures are worked out

Incident: April 23, 2015 · Filed: April 29, 2015

I WAS LEAVING WORK WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AND MY LIFE LITERALLY FLASHED IN FRONT OF MY EYES . I ENTERED THE FREEWAY VIA THE MERGE LANE AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. WHEN I ENTERED THE FREEWAY I SLOWLY INCREASED MY SPEED TO 50 MPH. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND SHUT OFF. AT THIS POINT I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, I COULD NOT STEER. MY VEHICLE SCRAPPED OFF THE JERSEY BARRIER AND I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I THEN PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD CAUSING ME TO SKID SIDEWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID HITTING ME AND IN DOING SO HE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FACING THE WRONG WAY ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WAY WORST. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE ENGINE FAILED DUE TO SLUDGE BUILDUP IN THE ENGINE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE MADE BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE CHANGED MY OIL EVERY 3K MILES AND I HAVE PAPERWORK TO PROVE THIS. I CANNOT FOR LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND HOW A KNOWING PERSON OF THIS PROBLEM CAN TURN AN EYE TO IT WITHOUT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE GONE THE OTHER WAY, CAN WE PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT DOES. WHAT IF IT HAPPENS TO YOUR FATHER OR YOUR MOTHER OR YOUR KIDS. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO HERE!

Incident: September 1, 2010 · Filed: March 13, 2012

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I WAS DRIVING WHEN I HEARD A TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE, I USED MY CELLPHONE TO CALL MY MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY MY TIMING CHAIN BUT THAT IF IT'S JUST TICKING IT'S NOT IMMINENT DANGER OF BREAKING. I ARRIVED TO WORK AND UPON LEAVING WORK, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND, I SAW SMOKE COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK COMPANY AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND WOULD COST $6000.00 TO REPLACE IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME ( 2 TOWING FEES AT THIS POINT AT $90.00 EACH). I CALLED A MECHANIC THAT SPECIALIZES IN INTREPID/CONCORDE REPAIRS AND HE ADVISED THAT I SHOULD TOW THE CAR TO HIM AS IT MIGHT NOT BE COMPLETELY BLOWN. ANOTHER TOWING FEE ($90.00) AND ANOTHER MECHANICS OPINION, YES THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AND THIS MECHANIC STATED THE REASON FOR FAILURE WAS OIL SLUDGE. I ASKED WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING AND HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO, IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT IN THAT PARTICULAR ENGINE AND THAT IF I WERE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, IT WAS HIS ADVICE TO NOT PUT A 2.7L ENGINE BACK IN, BUT RATHER A 3.2 OR 3.5L ENGINE IN AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE DEFECT OF THE 2.7L. I NOW HAVE A PAPER WEIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AND NOW HAVE A CAR PAYMENT TO A CAR THAT I DON'T EVEN REALLY LIKE MUCH. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY I WAS SOLD A VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN ENGINE DEFECT AND WHY CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
