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.. YOU YOUR COMPANY HAS DONE NOTHING MILLIONS OFF PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT CARS FROM CHRYSLER,DODGE,PLYMOUTH, JEEP WITH THIS AUTO TRANSMISSIONS IN THEM...WHEN OR IF EVER WILL YOU PROTECT THE CONSUMERS.IF YOU CANT EVEN DO ANYTHING TO STOP COMPANY'S LIKE THEM FROM RIPPING PEOPLE OFF ..I SEE YOUR COMPANY WENT AFTER TOYOTA CORP FOR ITS DEFECTS.. JUST BECAUSE ITS A US MADE AUTO YOU SHOULD REALLY DO YOUR JOBS ..JUST BECAUSE THE CARS ARE OLD DOESN'T MEAN THERE ISN'T ALOT OFF THEM STILL ON THE ROADS TODAY..SO STOP IGNORING THE FACTS .. ABOUT THIS COMPANY'S THAT HAS HAD MILLIONS OF BAD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS....A BAD TRANSMISSION CAN CAUSE UNTOLD OR EVEN UNKNOWN FATAL AUTO AND DEATHS ACCIDENTS...ACROSS THE HOLE WORLD WERE THERE BEING DRIVIN.. NTO TO SAY HOW MANY CONSUMERS HAD TO SPEND OUT OF THERE OWN POCKETS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A COST OFF AT LEAST 1,500 TO 2,000 DOLLARS FROM THE YEARS OFF 1980 TO THE PRESENT DAY WHEN IT WAS A DEFECTIVE AUTO PART TO BEGIN WITH......SORRY TO BE SO NEGATIVE TO YOU BUT ISN'T IT YOUR JOBS TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS OFF THE UNITED STATES... *TR
