"I purchased my Acclaim used one year ago. I have been unhappy with many things about this car. The dealer was not a Plymouth dealer and I don't know if this would have made any difference in my satisfaction. First,a belt was making a slight squealing sound when I purchased the car. The dealer said the belat just neede to be tightened. I ended up spending over $100.00 replacing the belt tensioner. I have had electrical problems with this vehicle and still have not solved the problem. The car just won't start sometimes, but if you keep turning the key it will eventually start-up. The engine on this particular vehicle sounds a little too much like a diesel, despite the fact that it is not a diesel. The car dies sometimes upon acceleration. If anyone out there has had similar experiences with an Acclaim, and if you have a solution I would like to hear from you. Thanks "
