1992 Dodge Stealth Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Chrysler told me to take my car to steve landers chrysler in little rock, ar and after multiple frustrating calls with them and chrysler they a month later told me they weren't fixing my car because they couldn't find the parts when they told me where to find the parts. It's a safety recall that doesn't expire but they refuse to fix it.”

“Vehicle experienced a catastrophic 4-wheel lockup at 70mph on the interstate 5 freeway. Because all four wheels locked up, and de-clutching the vehicle did not alleviate the condition, I believe the awd transfer case failed. This failure at highway speeds could have caused a multiple car accident, but luckily, in my case, did not. However, the amount of vehicle damage to the drivetrain is currently unknown, but it is presumably substantial...”

“Output shaft in transmission has broke twice, once when I bought the car and the whole transmission was replaced, no more than a few hundred miles later the shaft snapped again. The shop that replaced everything the first time stated that the shaft is very weak under pressure. The vehicle has been babied and taken well care of, never driven very hard, but a few times of taking off and the shaft has broken on me 2 times. This time, the car has been sitting for months because I cant afford to buy another $4000 dollar transmission, which would probably break again. …”

“Had goeke Dodge in noblesvil, in do the recall 02v143002 when I first brought it in with a leak they took three hours and came back and told me it would be ten hours labor but they would charge me eight. I then asked about recall b17 for nthe leaking tranfer case on 91-96 tt stealths, they siad what recall. Went awy for another 1/2 hr and came back and asked if I wanted a new transfer case. I said sure if they can. They ended up keeping my car for 7 days, they ordered the wrong transfer case. After I picked it up I parked on a clean piece of cardboard. The next day it was full of oil. …”

“I have experienced two incidents of stripped splines on the transmission output shaft [that goes to the transfer case]. The bevel cut gear in the transfer case has also stripped in both instances. This has resulted in considerable expense having the transmission torn down to replace the shaft [not to mention rental car needed during the repair]. Once the shaft splines strip out - the car will not move and presents a clear and present danger to the driver who is out on the road!”
