1993 Plymouth Acclaim problems
The Plymouth Acclaim is a mid-size sedan produced in the 1989 to 1995 model years. The Acclaim was Plymouth's updated replacement for both the similarly sized E-body Caravelle and the K-body Reliant. Badge engineering was employed to give Dodge and Chrysler their own versions of the AA-body Acclaim: the Dodge Spirit, the Chrysler LeBaron sedan, and the export-market Chrysler Saratoga. It was replaced by the Plymouth Breeze in 1996.
Platform
The Acclaim was a version of the Chrysler Corporation's AA-body 4-door sedan, which was an evolutionary development of Chrysler's extended K-car platform. Acclaim (and Dodge Spirit) production ended on December 9, 1994, after a short 1995 model year and the Cab-forward Plymouth Breeze was introduced as a replacement for 1996. The Acclaim was one of the last K-car derivatives produced by Chrysler. In all, just under half a million examples of the Acclaim were built in its 7-model year run.
Market positioning
The AA-body cars were badge-engineered triplets, as were most Chrysler products of this time. The Acclaim differed from its siblings primarily in wheel choices, bodyside molding, and fascias where it sported its unique taillights and the corporate Plymouth eggcrate-grille. Like the K-body and E-body vehicles they replaced, the Acclaim and Dodge Spirit were both marketed as mainstream variants, while the Chrysler LeBaron was marketed as the luxury variant. Despite this, there was substantial overlap in trims and equipment among each car. For example, a fully loaded Acclaim was almost similar to a base LeBaron in features and price.
In addition to its entry-level base model, the Acclaim was initially available in mid-range LE and high-end LX trim. LE and LX models came equipped with features such including premium cloth seating, power windows/door locks, premium sound systems, bodyside cladding, additional exterior brightwork, and on the latter 15-inch lace-spoke aluminum wheels. In spite of this, the base model accounted for nearly 85 percent of Acclaim sales. Unlike the Spirit, the Acclaim did not receive any sport-oriented models.
The Acclaim has also been characterized as the replacement for the smaller Reliant, though the Sundance launched in 1987 is closer than the Acclaim in most dimensions to the Reliant.

Common 1993 Plymouth Acclaim problems
The 1993 Plymouth Acclaim is known for several common problems based on complaints from owners, including engine oil leaks, suspension control arm bushings replacement, coolant change, fuel level sending unit replacement, windshield washer fluid reservoir replacement, electrical system diagnosis, brake pad replacement, air conditioning refrigerant line replacement, tie rod replacement, and exhaust pipe replacement.
One of the most commonly reported problems is engine oil leaks, which can be caused by various factors, such as worn-out gaskets, damaged seals, or a faulty oil pan. These leaks can lead to significant engine damage if not addressed promptly. To resolve this issue, it is essential to identify the source of the leak and replace the damaged components.
Suspension control arm bushings replacement is another common problem with the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Over time, these bushings can wear out, leading to a noisy and uncomfortable ride. Replacing them can help restore the vehicle's ride quality and prevent further damage to the suspension system.
Coolant changes are also a common issue with the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Over time, the coolant can become contaminated, leading to corrosion and damage to the engine's cooling system. Regular coolant changes can help prevent these issues and ensure the vehicle's engine stays at the correct temperature.
Fuel level sending unit replacement is another problem reported by owners of the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. This component is responsible for measuring the amount of fuel in the vehicle's tank. If it fails, it can lead to inaccurate fuel level readings and potential engine problems.
Windshield washer fluid reservoir replacement is also a common issue with the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Over time, the reservoir can crack or leak, leading to a loss of washer fluid and impaired visibility while driving.
Electrical system diagnosis is another problem reported by owners of the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. This issue can be caused by various factors, such as faulty wiring, damaged fuses, or a malfunctioning alternator. A professional diagnosis is necessary to identify and resolve this issue.
Brake pad replacement is a common maintenance task for the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Over time, the brake pads can wear out, leading to reduced stopping power and potential damage to the brake system.
Air conditioning refrigerant line replacement is another common issue with the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Over time, the refrigerant lines can leak, leading to a loss of refrigerant and reduced cooling performance. Replacing the lines can help restore the vehicle's cooling performance and prevent further damage to the system.
Tie rod replacement is also a common issue with the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Over time, the tie rods can wear out, leading to a loose steering feel and potential damage to the suspension system. Replacing the tie rods can help restore the vehicle's steering performance and prevent further damage to the system.
Exhaust pipe replacement is another common issue with the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim. Over time, the exhaust pipes can corrode or develop leaks, leading to reduced performance and potential damage to the vehicle's engine. Replacing the exhaust pipes can help restore the vehicle's performance and prevent further damage to the system.
In summary, the 1993 Plymouth Acclaim is known for several common problems, including engine oil leaks, suspension control arm bushings replacement, coolant change, fuel level sending unit replacement, windshield washer fluid reservoir replacement, electrical system diagnosis, brake pad replacement, air conditioning refrigerant line replacement, tie rod replacement, and exhaust pipe replacement. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help prevent these issues and ensure the vehicle's longevity and reliability.
What is the Dodge equivalent of a Plymouth Acclaim?
Dodge Spirit
Badge engineering was employed to give Dodge and Chrysler their own versions of the AA-body Acclaim: the Dodge Spirit, the Chrysler LeBaron sedan, and the export-market Chrysler Saratoga.
Why was Plymouth discontinued?
Plymouth (1928-2001): Once a well-known brand under the Chrysler umbrella, Plymouth was discontinued due to overlapping models and declining sales. Oldsmobile (1897-2004): Established in 1897, Oldsmobile faced declining sales and was eventually phased out by General Motors to streamline its brand portfolio.
What was the difference between Dodge and Plymouth?
Dodge and Plymouth have made the same cars for years. They are the same company, (DaimlerChrysler), different 'brands'. Cars like the Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Sundance were the same body style with different accessory packages.
What was the failure of Plymouth?
After a rough start, the Plymouth Colony found some success as the colonists learned how to grow crops. However, due to poor soil, population increase, and wars with the native tribes, the Colony was eventually absorbed into the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
When did they stop making the Plymouth Acclaim?
Acclaim (and Dodge Spirit) production ended on December 9, 1994, after a short 1995 model year and the Cab-forward Plymouth Breeze was introduced as a replacement for 1996. The Acclaim was one of the last K-car derivatives produced by Chrysler.
Why did Plymouth cars fail?
Final years: 1990s–2001
By the 1990s, Plymouth had lost much of its identity, as its models continued to overlap in features and prices with its sister brands, Dodge and Eagle. Chrysler attempted to remedy this by repositioning Plymouth to its traditional target market as the automaker's entry-level brand.
Why did Plymouth stop?
It's all about the money. As staid as it may sound, the answer has nothing to do with corporate intrigue, malfeasance from competitors, or even cars so bad it killed the brand, even if the Plymouth Prowler didn't help much. Plymouth went the way of the dodo for one simple reason: Money.
What were the problems in Plymouth?
Many of the colonists fell ill. They were probably suffering from scurvy and pneumonia caused by a lack of shelter in the cold, wet weather. Although the Pilgrims were not starving, their sea-diet was very high in salt, which weakened their bodies on the long journey and during that first winter.

Congratulations on your long-lasting car! It's heartwarming to hear that you and your husband bought it just before getting married. The car has been well-maintained, with only a few repairs like brakes, battery, and tires, and a single tune-up in its 7th year. It's impressive that the car has almost 200,000 miles and is still going strong. It's great that you plan on keeping it around for your older kids and as a 'kick around' car when needed. Thank you for sharing your story!

Hey there! I just wanted to share with you how amazing my Granny's car is. She bought it new in '92 and it's still going strong! It's a 2.5l 3spd that gets 35mpg and is quick, quiet, and smooth. I know it may look a bit old-fashioned, but trust me, it's much better than those pricey new cars. Even after 30 years, we can still find parts and have only had to do a couple of repairs, like the head gasket, O2 sensor, and a set of mufflers. We just need to find a replacement window and we're hoping to keep it for another 30 years! I can't help but laugh while passing each and every bank. :)

Exception Car...you may not have noticed them when they were new...but they are very roomy. The styling also holds up well.
-
We bought this car new and it has been a reliable choice for our family. It comfortably fits three car seats and even grandma! With 116,000 miles on it, we have had no major problems so far. In fact, all three kids who used to sit in car seats now drive the car daily to high school. We are so satisfied with this car that we are looking for another Acclaim to give to our second high schooler. The V6 engine is powerful and can easily handle a carload of 5-6 people. It's a great, safe car!

I was fortunate enough to receive this car from my professor last year when it had 135,000 miles on the clock. After servicing it for around $500, it became even more enjoyable to drive. The steering control is truly exceptional, surpassing even that of brand new models on the market. I consider myself very lucky to be the owner of a PLYM.

Hi there! I noticed that you mentioned you bought this car new in 1992 and had to change the transmission twice. Did you know that this model of transmission is known to be defective in many Chrysler models like the Voyager, Caravan, Dynasty, Acclaim, and more? Just thought I'd share that with you!
Art Wilkinson 2024-09-12
Extensive warranty work was done on the engine. Unfortunately, the A/C, transmission, and other parts broke down prematurely. After 125,000 KM, the car required several repairs such as the transmission, alternator, fuel pump, and A/C. We understand how frustrating this can be and we are here to help.
Adolph Vandervort 2024-07-29
I got this car initially when I was in high school. We've had to replace the electronic sensor in the car many times, and it always dies when I come to a stop. It has major problems when it comes to the transmission, and it doesn't offer a very smooth ride. Additionally, there are plenty of weird noises from under the hood, and the belts squeak really badly!
Gunner Hane 2024-03-21
The car was great at 75,000 miles and still running well at 100,000 miles. However, it has required a lot of repairs since then, including a cracked head, left axle, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, oil pan, and head gasket, in addition to the usual maintenance. With 127,000 miles on the clock, I have decided to sell the car as soon as possible before any further issues arise.
Dean Boehm 2024-02-24
It's great to hear that you took such good care of your car over the 7 years you had it. It's a shame that it eventually died at 136,000 miles, but that's still a pretty impressive lifespan. It sounds like you were pretty diligent with maintenance, only needing to replace something once every two years. It's interesting that your wheel bearing went three times, but it's good to know that you weren't driving recklessly. I've heard of other people having issues with their driving belts breaking around 60-70,000 miles, so it was smart of you to replace yours at 75,000 miles as preventative maintenance. Overall, it sounds like you were a responsible car owner and did everything you could to keep your car in good shape.
