Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1) driving 1999 chrysler concorde when weird noises started. pulled off the road. stuck with my (2) children in a hot car until tow truck came. 2) car would not restart. called chrysler dealer. they said the tensioner for the timing belt was broke. we fixed that for over $400.00. then they ran a compression check. no compression. they said the valves in the engine were probably bent. looking at $2,500.00 or more to fix or a re-built engine for $7,000.00. 3) my husband had the car towed back home. we are tearing it apart ourselves. (cant afford chrysler to do it). the valves are bent. we are taking the heads to a local machine shop to put new valves in.*ak
