1991 Plymouth Acclaim Standard review from North America

My father bought this car and at 12004km the a/c H valve had to be replaced. At 52000km, 57001km, 67634km, and 71732km the air conditioning has failed for one reason or another. It has failed again close to 114000km and must be serviced. I have spent close to $2500 repairing the air conditioning. This is not a good car for A/C.

The O2 sensor has been replaced at 43098km and 94500km.

This car is very hard on brakes and hard to find ones that don't squeak.

The trunk leaks which is a know fact from other surveys and reports and I now have to have some body work done on it.

This is a very easy car to maintain if you like to do your own maintenance. The plugs, wires and oil filter etc. are all located ahead of the engine and easily accessed. The engine bay is not cluttered with a lot of electronics like some cars.

The paint finish is very good and has kept up its lustre.

The bodywork has fended off rust very well except the bottom of the doors are starting to rust. The drivers side door is the worst.

The engine is still very strong and I cannot detect any oil burning. It has passed the Ontario Drive Clean Emission tests well below the limits over the past 4 years since testing was mandatory in Ontario. Likely due to regular oil changes.
