1991 Dodge Stealth Base review from North America
"Dependable, long lasting, daily driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal wear and tear parts have been replaced such as the alternator, starter, radiator, ball joints, front wheel bearings, steering rack, ECU computer rebuild, and tranny rebuild at 185k miles. All to be expected at such a high mileage.
Heater core and A/C are still running strong.
General comments?
This has been my longest lasting, most durable vehicle to date. Those that complain about the reliability aren't following maintenance schedules. One person claims that the belt snapping at 72k miles was a bad thing. Well you are supposed to change it every 60k miles! If you maintain it, it will last very long. I've got 272k miles to date on the original engine! The SOHC will never die.
Everything replaced was to be expected for the miles and all of these things were replaced after 175k miles. The tranny needed to be rebuilt because of the syncros going out, but they did last a long time. This car has been in seven accidents (no joke and not my fault) and still looks good. It has even bounced back from being declared totaled in 2003.
I know this car can last past 300K, but the rocker panels are now starting to rust because I live in salty road Michigan, so I might hit 300k and sell it to buy a newer one or a 3000GT.
