==================================================
The auto industry has given us some incredible machines over the years. But not every car is a masterpiece of engineering. Some vehicles barely make it past their warranty period before giving up completely. In this video we're counting down the absolute worst offenders - cars that are likely to leave you stranded before hitting 60,000 miles.

Really??? You're going to reach back to a car from the 1960's and 1970's? C'mon. How many of these cars are still on the road today? Few, of any.
You never know what parents may get their kids. Even if the car is a dinosaur
He was going through the history/evolution of the cars which helps to explain where we are now. Be patient plz.
He is being fair no matter what it is
The best cars from that era were far worse than the worst cars from today.
@@JunkerDriver999 Except he's lying in the thumbnail. Find me the Taurus in this video.
Most of these cars listed on here, I've personally seen with 300k+ miles, original everything. No car is reliable, if you don't do maintenance. I do agree that they don't make cars like they used to. But at the same time, take care of your car, and it'll take care of you. It's like taking care of your teeth.
Most of them you take care of them they still junk
But,if the maintenance is really high like $400 for transmission service,$400-500 for brakes,and $100 oil changes and the fact that their manufacturing vehicles with cheap quality.They are designed to fail
@ It only costed me $40 to do the transmission service myself. Now on European cars, yeah it’s generally more. But on a regular car like a Ford Explorer or Taurus, maintenance is generally cheaper. And easier to do yourself
I had a 1966 mustang Fastback .and a 1979 Firebird Esprit ..both were junk ..I would love for someone to tell me when they did make good cars?
They were only junk because you maintained them like junk.
“The AMC Gremlin’s straight six engine” *shows a 360 AMC V8*
Stay AWAY from anything chrysler altogether✋️✋️✋️
Can you say Alfa Romeo
But I want the 300c thooooo
Ignore him and get your 300c. My cousin put over 250k and had no major problems.
@@colinschmitz8297 What year is his 300?
@AndrewFaust-y1t it was a 2007
The rendezvous and the Aztec are basically the same car.
ford taurus, 2011, over 200000 miles and running like a champ, zero issues for over 6 years. drives like a luxury car, good interior, good looks. a new battery is all i have done to it. its very comfortable and very quiet inside while driving. just an fyi....
Love my 2011 Taurus with 190000 .Why did they use a photo of Taurus? Lol
How’s the water pump? I always wanted the Taurus but trying to do research for the best year of that car
It's the luck of the draw. One relative has an 09 with 250k on the original water pump. Another relative had on 172k miles on their 2011 when the pump failed.
I have a ‘15 SEL…absolutely love the thing. Very quiet interior…even at 85-90 on interstate drives, excellent power, and I absolutely LOVE the cockpit. Timeless dash design if you ask me. My only complaint is the gearing…the trans is a bit sleepy at lower speeds.
My mother's '08 only has 85k miles but it's 16 years old and the water pump still hasn't failed. The 3.5 is an incredibly reliable engine. Even the poorly designed water pump is very reliable, with most making it close to 200k miles before failing. It's just very expensive to repair and can be an engine-killer if you don't notice it immediately.
Fun fact! My parents have a 2015 Chrysler C200S 2.4L the serpentine belt is difficult to deal with. To remove the starter you have to remove the battery, battery tray, relay box, and CV axle. When the motor is cold it would start up with no issue then turn itself off after 2-5 seconds. If you rev the motor a little bit it will stay on for about 10-25 seconds.
Current recalls
The rear control arm mounts to the frame can break from the welds. Using windows can potentially cause wiring to burn or even catch on fire. ECU problems with bad catalytic converters from the factory. Cruise control can stay on without being able to turn off the cruise control.
Thats why I will only own Toyotas or Hondas. The two most reliable brands.
Exactly. Nothing better
I have a civic from 2002 still drives like a dream
@Rosbergen80 I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix with close 190,000 miles and still runs good.
ABSOLUTELY
Yup. I'll stick with my Civic.
I got rid of my nissan altima 2015 due to cvt transmission. Happy with my honda accord with the reliability
Glad I watched was thinking about buying a pinto now I’m second guessing myself
Make sure I won’t get a corvair in 2024
@@moisesperez4659 I think many of them are in the Junkyard long ago.
@@albertcarello619I've seen a few
This is why I drive a 2013 Lexus ES350.
Have a 99es300 that i bought 7 years ago. Has 210k miles, never left me stranded, and have only done maintenance and a few sensors.
Lexus really peaked around that time maintaining superb reliability, quiet, comfort and was arguably one of their better looking ES 350s.
Can't go wrong with Toyota.
I had a 73 Gremlin X that I bought for $100 in the early 80's. I hated it but it was as reliable as stove bolts. I sold it 2 years later and the new owner drove it for another year. I also owned 2 Corvair's. Nothing remarkably bad about those cars and were fun to drive and handled well
Fiat, Mitsubishi, Audi, VW, Mercedes, Ford, BMW, etc. Each of these manufacturers have been around for over 100 years. It's a joke that they didn't learn anything about engineering and assembly in all that time. Other makes, like Nissan and Suzuki have always been unreliable cars, even though Suzuki has made some outstanding motorbikes.
I have a '98 Nissan Maxima, 5spd w/171k. I've never owned a foriegn car, but have been told this particular car is quite reliable. So far, so true..😏
True Suzuki cars are one the most Reliable vehicles in the world, gotta study more buddy, the problem is that in US It got outshined because of the crappy GM and Daewoo Rebadges! There never were true Suzuki cars in the US except for the Grand Vitara and SX4 which are japan made and very reliable!
The ford Vulcan 3.0 v6 was a good engine. I had one in a 03 Taurus but the rest of the car rusted out so bad that i it was too dangerous to drive anymore i had to scrap it. The gas tank rusted out the subframe started to go.
I don’t think I saw a single Toyota or Honda on this list. Both companies have a reputation for reliability and it shows.
Guess what? I have a 2009 Accord... it leaks oil like a damn sieve. I'm adding oil every 3 days
I got a 2004 ford focus wagon. 298 000 km and still runs good. Did a oil change on her last fall and just added half ltr of oil and drove 29 000 km in that year. Might do a oil change soon. But ya old car uses less oil then new
WHAT IF THEY DESIGN CARS KNOWING THEY WILL FAIL IN A SHORT TIME. MEANING IF THEY MADE ALL CARS TO WORK PROPERLY THEN MECHANICS WOULDN'T MAKE ANY MONEY...
Hence why I love my Mazdas, with the lone exception of that dreaded RX-8 model. But over the course of nearly a decade and a half, I've sworn by Mazdas, owning a 2010 Mazda 6, a 2013 Mazda 3, a 2014 CX-5(totalled, but kept me unscathed), and a 2013 CX-5 that I still have as we speak, and I have yet to have one leave me or my loved ones high and dry. 💯🙋🏼♀️☺️
I notice Toyota isn’t on the list. I have lost faith in any Ford, Chevrolet or Chrysler product. I blame a lot on the unreasonable government regulations for reliability problems. The old cast iron, push rod engines would last 300,000 to 500,000 miles.
Whot !! no Land Rover ?
Friends 07 land rover is secretly a Fix Or Repair Daily. lol. Could have bought a new car with the repairs but that said almost 20 years and 170k miles it's still getting him around town. Guess some people just love their cars.
No rovers yet he picks on old 60s and 70s cars DUNG ALERT !!!!!
He Probably Drives One Himself And Is An Avid GEO METRO HATER!! And Loves It!
Also No 1986, 1987, 1988 FORD ESCORT GT??? WTF??
@richardkaltenbach3961
I thought all the Escorts had engine problems. BTDT
I bought a used 2000 Passat once, drove it for 3 years with no problems at all
I own an X type jaguar, best car I have ever owned.Always maintained,good looking car.
I bought a Hyundai kona 2022. I thought they were past the engine issues. No, the car had heat control module failure in 20,000. Then had a radiator failure at 30,000. The dealer service liked to argue that they may not cover it under mfg warranty. We traded it in at 40,000 after the starter would get stuck in the flywheel, the auto start feature a pain. No point having the dealer look at it, they would just ignore it. I previously owned older Hyundai Accent that ran 200,000 easily trouble free. A second Kia Rio 2008 my son bought has 200,000 runs great with typical Hyundai minor issues. We bought a Lexus, basically a Rav 4 on steroids with comfort features standard. Cheap cars are just that> Cheap. We have had Nissan never again, then a Subaru Forrester which had the head gasket failure under warranty. They didn't replace it, put sealant in the radiator to get it to the end of the warranty. So, no more Subaru for me. They treat you like a criminal, not a customer.
At least the Taurus from the thumbnail is not included.
I once owned a manual transmission Vega. It was fine for a $400 car. I drove it for a year until engine compression because a problem then junked it for $100.
Vegas are not as problematic as this guy suggested. I had good luck
Get over yourself . Where did you get your confusion?
idk why you choose the 2010-2019 taurus in the thumbnail, its such a good car, only problems were withe the SHO V8 edition which had a turbo valve leaking problem that makes you think it needs rebuild, but it just needs a new turbo
Justin Bieber on the Mercedes part and can't blame them on air suspension because any vehicle with air suspension are naturally going to fail regardless no matter how old or how new the vehicle is 3:28
The 4 Maddox there are transfer case weren't that bad but the common one that had the problem with the GL not the ml
Tesla Cybertruck have to be worse car ever produced. 6 recalls within one year, and major issues on brand new car. Delivered with rust... Many dealers dont want them at all.
Click bait!! They show a Ford Taurus but it is nowhere on this list. They also show 70s cars, really!!
They built the new Beetle till 2019, not 2011.
The first generation new beetle ended in 2010
I'm surprised they didn't mention the Trabant, which was worse than the Yugo.
The car on the video preview I got to 280k miles before I sold it for something else. Never touched anything besides regular maintenance. 2013 Ford Taurus. One of my favorite vehicles
It's funny, I own a 2009 Chevy Aveo and it's been my most reliable car to date. Simple, basic motoring with nothing to go wrong. Mine has covered just shy of 277,000 kilometres and it runs great. I've only replaced the clutch once, besides regular servicing and wear & tear parts the car is still original, engine has never been opened and only front control arms have been replaced.
Maybe the Aveo sold in your market was better than the one for the US market.
@filippocorti6760 It's definitely possible or maybe I'm just lucky 🤷🏻♂️
My Toyota hilux pick up 4x4 had 497,000 miles in it before I let her go, she ended up going from the UK to Nigeria , it was the 1st time I had any emotions over a vehicle leaving my life , was a sad day glad I have some photos of her and pretty gutted that I sold her, still got £1000 for her and she cost £17,000 new 👍
Basically anything and everything not Honda or Toyota is unreliable
FIAT ( FIX IT AGAIN TONY)😩😰🥵
I don't want anything with turbocharged mower engine, CVT transmission, hybrid or EV.
My 2013 Hyandai elantra coupe SE still kicking. Im terrified of buying a new car because my hyundai elantra has been so good over the years. Im keeping it till it falls apart. Just get it repainted and keep up oil changes and regular maintance is all I do.
Ive had it for 5 years straight, and almost 200k miles
I owned a 2017 FIat 124 Spider convertible. Assembled by Mazda, I had no problems up to 70k miles when I traded it in for a 2023 Honda RIdgeline. So, not all FIats are junk, just the majority of them!
It wasn't assembled by Mazda, it was a Mazda. Just a Miata with a differenet skin on it and Fiat badges.
@paultomaszewski1964 not completely true, Paul. The FIat 124 had a Mazda transmission but a FIat 1.4L Turbo, iron block with aluminum heads. Ran very well through to the time it was sold. Mazda upped their non-turbo 4 in the Miata in 2018 to 185 horses (v 160 horses in the Fiat 124).
It had a Chrysler 1.4 turbo whereas the Miata, a non-turbo Mazda 4. Only the bodies were built by Mazda.
Timing belt issues seem to be very common in a lot of these vehicles.
Fequently due to neglect. Happened to me.
My brother had Opel Astra for almost 17 years, in all that time he change only batteries couple of time and disc brakes, engine and electronics worked like a Swiss watch..
C'mon now, the Pinto wasn't too bad. I had a Pinto S.W. that pretty much pulled double duty as a small truck. That thing seemed indestructible.
My late grandma had a PT Cruiser when new and after 1st year, it became a lemon. I remember driving it and noticed the gas pedal sensor was failing while i was driving it (i was still a student driver at that time). I had to floor the pedal 7 times before it would work again.
I bought a new Buick rendezvous and it was the worst crap I ever bought. I will never buy g m again.
Take a shot every time he says “catastrophically” lmao
This must be AI generated.
Bro my dad drove a 2009 mittsubishi lancer evolution for 13 years, and for 280k miles. Idk if he's just REALLY good at taking care of cars, or if this video is false, but either way, I like the lancer
Well you've convinced me. I won't buy a 1985 Yugo GV now. Thanks!
The Mitsubishi lancer isn't that bad I've had it for 5 years, It's a 2014 Mitsubishi lancer ES it currently has 150k miles on it, the most major problems I had was it's spark plugs and that's it.. with proper maintenance it'll be able to last long before you get a new car.
Wtf.. my 2001 pt cruiser never failed me once!! Over 350,000 miles on it, and it ran flawlessly! I miss that car almost every day.. almost as much as I miss my aztek!
My wife has a mercedes benz suv. At 80,000 it has oil leaks everywhere. It's nothing more than a glorified Chrysler.
LOL 60,000 dead before a tune up 😮 who’s driving these?
Spark plugs are good for 80,000 +
gm been making turds for years
The Yugo should have been called the Nogo or FLO =Future Lawn ornament
I knew a lady who bought a PT CRUISER and she said that it had the mpg of a big block race car and the horsepower of a fisher price toy
As I observed a corvair passing by, the engine dropped to the pavement producing a shower of sparks. Pretty impressive display.
Yugo station would be called We All Go 😂
Thumb nail looks like a Ford Taurus, I got a 09 still running like a champ . Luck of the draw maybe 🤔
Mines is also, 2013 Taurus. The only thing I hate is the water pump issue.
Ive got a 2012 fusion its very similar car . 280k with no issues
Notice it wasn't on this list, because it was a decent car that Ford and their wisdom stopped making for more profit margin SUV/CUV's that have been less reliable.
@@zoomanx9661did you have the pump replaced yet? How many kms?
I’m in the market for my very first car, I’ve been doing a lot of research on many different vehicles, right now I’m looking at a 2014 Subaru outback. It has 128.3k miles. And it does have a CVT transmission. From what I’m getting from this video is that I’m good if I buy it. Correct?
What you talking about yugo is best calr ever in Yugoslavia , you still can see them in Serbia 😊😊😊😊
Now I know buying a Honda was a wise thing to do: Honda always!
I guess my Accord missed the memo. Mine leaks oil like a damn sieve. I'm adding oil every 3 days
You left out the 2004-2007 Mazda 6 S sedan & Sport Wagon with the Ford Duratech 3.0l engine. My 2005 S Wagon 143k miles won't stop springing coolant leaks as we speak[= Hoses, warped plastic T-fittings, water pump & belt and >now the radiator have to be replaced. It got so bad that I actually purchased every hose & plastic hose fitting under the hood as backup along with the drive belt, tensioner & idler pulley (it chirps at startup). [=

The FoMoCo Panther platform cars are probably the most reliable American vehicles ever built
Been driving cars since 1966. Most all-American cars made in the 70's were junk which is when Japan took over the market and by the mid 80's had established the world's highest quality standards. My 2011 Highlander with 165k drives like it just came off the assembly line. Sorry to say that in the five years it looks like even foreign manufacturers are slipping in quality.
Never had the best luck with domestic made vehicles.
How about the F250 with the 6.0 diesel engines
YOU left out most of the garbage GM has thrown at us over the last 40 years
My 2008 Pontiac Garbage GT is still running strong.
To say a Subarus cooling system is reliable is like saying Biden isn’t old. Those H-block pieces of sh*t are notorious for head gasket failure aka the biggest failure anyone could have within the cooling system 😂😂😂.
If you leave them stock, especially the turbo models, then the demerit comes into the realm of being reasonable. Non-turbo models literally just leak oil externally from the head gasket. I have yet to see a 'stock'(trust me, checked the CAL ID and VN) with a 'blown'/leaking head gasket. The term 'blown' is thrown around waaaayyy too loosely. I've seen non-turbo(ej251-253 back to EA engines) 'blown' head gaskets go another 100k miles(I serviced them personally) and as long as the owner knows how a dipstick operates and the lack of funds to replace said 'blown' head gaskets...no reliability/driveablity issues. I'm the youngest SMT one of the largest dealership networks(over 60 stores and various brands) has seen, setting a record in the company back in 2018, at their Subaru store. To say I know the brand well, especially on the technical side, is an understatement 😂😂
@ I work on them nearly everyday, they’re a junk car. Nothing you can say can convince me otherwise. From the trash cvt thats notorious for failure to external coolant and oil leaks from the head. I’ve seen it on both n/a and turbo models. And yes the cars I’m working on are all daily drivers/stock vehicles. Being 100% honest with you if you’re such a big Subaru enthusiast you should know Subaru has had these problems sense the 90’s (outside of the cvt issues, thats relatively new). Two main issues, the power plants themselves have always been faulty and in conjunction with negligence on the maintenance it’s only a matter of time before it’s being towed to a shop.
@ what does it matter if the coolant leak is external or internal? the head gasket failed (normal operation for a Subaru😭😂), meaning the head(s) needs to be pulled off. The term “blown” is used to give a one word description pertaining to the underlying fault at hand, no one needs a multiple sentence explanation on the coolant leak being external or internal because the end result is the same (unless you’re typing a story for warranty, which I know you do a lot😭😭😭).
@@coolkid8934 ok lubie, let the journeyman/SMTs work. You've read a brochure somewhere clearly.
Fun drinking game everytime he says "catastrophically" take a shot. You won't make it to the end of the video😅
USA has low octane and high percentage of ethanol in their fuels. For example in Europe 95 octans is minimum, while is the US 93 is premium gasoline. Also, USA has 10%-15% ethanol in fuel (not including high ethanol fuels for apecial vehicles), while Europe has up to 5% of ethanol in their fuel.
Interesting point. I wonder how much it matters for longevity.
@filippocorti6760 more octanes is better for engine.
I drive around 7k km (around 4.4k miles) a year. 60k miles is more than 13 years for me. I do not see a problem :)
Not one Lexus Toyota or Honda.
Makes me sad the new Toyota trucks are having issues.
Fiat 1.4 MA has timing chain?
@simrfestin: I sure thought it would have a timing belt.
the Beetle shown on the video is not even the model mentioned. the car in the video is an A5, the third and last model, from 2011 to 2019.
Yugo was sold at the swap shop flea market in ft lauderdale at a table with no money down and $99 a month...whats not to like?

He said straight 6 in amc as showed a v8. Does this guy know engines?
Range Rover 2020 onwards are dogs that always have problems 😂
You have seriously mistaken in number 18.Vw Beetle. 1.8 turbo is the best engine in Vw history, but wasn't installed in Vw Beetle. I think catastrophic TSI 1,2, 1.4, 2,0 series was on your mind.
I bought an 06 Sentra new , it now has 200k miles on it, and it runs like a top .The only thing that broke before it's time was a window regulator. WTF has Nissan done to one of the best cars out there?
I had a 74 Vega used little oil AC ice cold.took out the 4 cylinder was still running good.but found a 400 small block car was fast and fun
Fiat 500L only had problems with its automatic transmission. The 1.4 fiat engine like all modern fiat engines are bulletproof. The regular Fiat 500 is very reliable. Never heard it wasnt.
The Mini would have been great if BMW didnt steal it from Rover.
The 2.8 engine in the chimaron was a very reliable unit.
You know I hate to be the one but we a Pinto when I was a kid and it never broke down and the Yugo..if the people would have followed the maintenance they were pretty reliable
My mom in 2015 till 2016 had this car 3:21 and it was from 2008 and she said she didn’t like it bc she traded for Toyota sienna and didn’t like only 2 rows
The Buick Rendezvous is the same platform as the Pontiac Aztek-- identical engine from the Chevy Venture and equivalents... They should have the same ranking, not be on opposite ends. I'm also surprised that Land/Range Rovers didn't make it to this list, but otherwise there aren't many surprises in this one.
26 had the same system as the Chevy traverse, gmc Acadia, and at the time the Saturn outlook
Over engineering plus cheap manufacturing on new vehicles is a recipe for disaster. My 83 Thunderbird 5.0L with 85,000 miles still fires up and runs like a dream. And all electronics still work including power windows and locks, cruise control, digital dash, and all interior and exterior lights.
There are some or many Yugos in the former Yugoslavia that have gone over 200,000 miles.
How about we just say it like this:
If you can’t afford it new, you can’t afford to fix or maintain it
96 volvo 850 455k miles runs great
Not surprising you didn't include the worst ever failed foreign automobile manufacturers who once sold cars here in the US. The ones that just stop selling here in the US once their poor reputation became more than obvious. Notable examples are Peugeot, Renault, Saab, Isuzu, Daewoo, Daihatsu to name just a few.
Nissan went downhill in quality after Renault bought are large part of Nissan.
My advice is: DO NOT BUY A BMW.
Exactly! Buy a Chrysler. So much better!
These vehicles are fully equipped with planned obsolescence and gremlins from the factory to force you to buy another engine or another car
Knew someone who had a 91 Passat GL and it made it to over 400 k recently and they live in Northern MN. Must’ve been a fluke. Used to have a 90 Jetta that I sold in 1993 with barely 30k on the odometer, and everything electrical, was a problem. Sometimes it would not start at all. Luckily it was under warranty at the time.
That was when they couldn't tell them V-Dub manufacturers NOTHING. 😊 And THEN...corporate big wigs got their hands in that cookie jar and I think everyone knows where I'm going with this...
And then lemons back then were quite few and far in between in comparison to today...
I've always liked the Gremlin 🤪
What a crock.
