Dodge Stealth Years to Avoid

The 1992 Stealth generated the most complaints, with twin-turbo models experiencing EGR failures, turbo issues, and electrical problems common to complex Japanese sports cars of the era. The 1991 first-year model has expected teething problems. All years of the twin-turbo variant require extensive maintenance to remain reliable.

Best Dodge Stealth Years

The 1996 final year Stealth benefits from five years of production refinements and is the most sorted version. The 1994-1995 models are also good choices with improved reliability. For best value, consider the naturally aspirated models which are far more reliable than the twin-turbo.
