MY 93 PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH A 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THE TRANSMISSION AT STOPS STARTED TO SLIP CAR WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE FORWARD AT ALL THEN WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO BRING UP THE ENGINE RPMS IT JUMP FORWARD AND I HERD A HIGH PITCH SQUEALING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IT STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN...THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NOW WONT EVEN SHIFT... WITH CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT ME AND WIFE BOUGHT IT NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP....THIS IS SAD WHY CAUSE YOUR COMPANY HAS HAD ALOT OFF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECTS FOR YEARS .. AND STILL THIS COMPANY THAT SAYS IT PROTECTS THE PEOPLE IN THE US..

MY 1993 PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM'S FRONT HEADLIGHTS COLLECT WATER AND EVENTUALLY BURN OUT THE HEADLAMPS. ALSO CAUSES POOR VISABILITY FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I WOULD LIKE REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS SINCE I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $120.00 FOR EACH.
