1992 Dodge Stealth problems
The Mitsubishi 3000GT is a front-engine, all-wheel/front-wheel drive grand touring/sports car manufactured and marketed by Mitsubishi from 1990 until 2000 over three different generations. Manufactured in a three-door hatchback coupé body style in Nagoya, Japan, the 2+2 four-seaters were marketed in the Japanese domestic market (JDM) as the GTO, and globally as 3000GT. In North America, it was sold both as the Mitsubishi 3000GT (1991–1999) and the Dodge Stealth (1991–1996), a badge engineered, mechanically identical captive import. As a collaborative effort between Chrysler and Mitsubishi Motors, Chrysler was responsible for the Stealth's exterior styling.
The car was based on Mitsubishi's Sigma/Diamante and retained their transverse mounted 3-liter, 24-valve V6 engines and front-wheel-drive layout. The GTO's engines were naturally aspirated or with twin-turbochargers and were also available with active aerodynamics (automatically adjusting front and rear spoilers), four-wheel-steering, full-time all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension.
Mitsubishi marketed a retractable hardtop variant, which were engineered and converted from coupé models in California by ASC, and sold as the GT Spyder or VR4 Spyder for model years 1993–1995. These were the first fully automated retractable hardtop marketed since the 1959 Ford Skyliner.
The JDM model took its name from the Galant GTO, a two-door hardtop coupé marketed by the company in the early 1970s, which in turn took its name from the Ferrari 250 GTO, short for Gran Turismo Omologata – "Omologata" signifying that it met motorsport homologation requirements.

How reliable are Dodge Stealths?
super reliable
It has been extraordinarily reliable. We have owned this car for 10 + years and have had to invest less than 300 dollars in it outside of normal maintence (oil, tires, etc). I would Highly recommend this car to someone looking for a SOUND car, with a beautiful exterior BODY, at a GREAT PRICE.
What was special about a Dodge Stealth?
In top form, the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 was good for 300 horsepower, on par with the era's best. The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 and Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo also came with four-wheel steering, adjustable suspension, and active exhaust that let you change the exhaust note with the touch of a button.
Why was Dodge Stealth discontinued?
Too mitsubishi continued selling the 3000. Gt with its sales of 8 300 units that same year enough to continue exports from japan. The lowest output v6 base engine that once only existed in the base.

After seeing my friend's 91 twin turbo, I became interested in getting a Stealth. These cars have awesome power, great looks, and plenty of features. However, one issue is that the engines don't seem to last very long. Unfortunately, my own Stealth's engine failed after only three days and 81,000 miles due to a spun bearing, requiring a costly replacement. My friend experienced the same problem just a few weeks before I bought mine, and now we both have our cars in the shop for engine rebuilds. Despite these setbacks, I still really like the car and can't wait to get it back.
-
The car is the best I've had so far.

Hey there! I wanted to share with you that I recently got a '91 Stealth ES from the junkyard for only $500! I'm only 16, but I was able to fix it up and get it running in just two days. It's a great car for street racing on a budget, even though it's supposed to be worth around $3000 to $4000. I've actually beaten all Hondas with it, and it's completely stock!
-
Clean and beautiful. I am a 51-year-old professional woman, but I feel like I'm going on 25! I absolutely love speed. I've had this car for 2 years now. Unfortunately, I was rear-ended by a truck going 50 miles per hour in stopped traffic. If I had been in any other car, I might not be here today. Thankfully, the headrest took the impact of my head, which saved my life. Although the car suffered major damage, the hatchback window did not break. The car turned easily and quickly, allowing me to move out of oncoming traffic when the accident occurred. Unfortunately, my car is now a total loss. However, I truly believe that if I had been in any other vehicle, the results would have been much worse. I would highly recommend this car to anyone, whether they're into sports cars or not.
-
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed driving it very much. It's unfortunate that you have to sell it, but I understand that the 'Lady' is getting old. It's impressive that she still has the ability to turn heads and zooms through the highways. Best of luck with the sale!

Are you having problems with your 1992 Dodge Stealth?
Carleton Wilkinson 2024-09-20
The Stealth represents what is wrong with Chrysler and why they are where they are today. A unique, sporty, and attractive exterior design plagued by a dollar store interior and reliability of weather. Numerous electrical faults, windows, alternator, and transmission in the first two years! Spent more time at Dodge than in my garage. Performance was great then, but I've seen R/T Stealths blown away by 4 door G-35 recently
Merlin Kreiger 2024-08-24
Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that this car might not be the most reliable option out there. Although it's badged as a Dodge, it's actually a Mitsubishi 3000gt, which means that parts and labor can be quite expensive. However, if you happen to get a good one, the twin-turbos are awesome, and the all wheel drive is really fun as well. Don't let this discourage you though, just make sure to do your research before making a decision!
