Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1999 chrysler concorde engine failed without warning on 9/21/2006. i talked with two local mechanics who both have had over 20 years in their respective businesses and both indicated the engine in my vehicle is notorious for failing without any warning and that they both have seen several of these engines and have read the problems that have been associated to this vehicle and other chrysler products with the same engine. i have contacted the chrysler consumer center and they want me to have the car towed to the closest service center so that they can diagnose why the car failed with no apparent warning. they indicated they would not offer any reimbursement of the tow bill or cost of tearing the engine down if they determined the engine was not their responsibility. i am reporting a complaint now due to fact that i have read several incidents where chrysler has not offered any help on any of the repair cost on the vehicles that apparently have a real problem with the 2.7 liter engine failure and have not recalled the vehicles or tried to fix the problem prior to engine failure. *nm
