Welcome to our video on "5 Used Cars You Should Never Buy". If you're in the market for a used car, it's important to be careful because as cars get older and more miles are put on them, common problems can arise that aren't always reported. Unfortunately, many car review companies only focus on the newest and latest makes and models, leaving those in the used car market at a disadvantage. That's why we've put together this list of 5 used cars that you should avoid at all costs. So, before you make your next used car purchase, be sure to watch this video to learn more about the cars you should steer clear of.

Want to know about my 2019 corrola bought new 36 748 miles auto le eco bought for reliability did i make the right choice ,
I have subscribed!
I agree with you Mike. As I stated before, my 2017 Kia Optima 2.0 GDI Turbo engine that started to smoke when I started it up in the mornings. The last oil change, I noticed a creamy yellow color oil when I did the oil change. I flushed the engine and filled it with synthetic oil as per the user's manual. The smoking continued. I also noticed soot around the tail pipes. I was having to add oil to the engine every other day. Took it down and the car had 18 miles left before it went off warranty. They changed the oil again and noted that the oil had a slightly creamy color again. They wanted to do an oil consumption test which I agreed to do but when they handed me back the form for the warranty service there wasn't any mention about the soot nor the color of the oil. I did not accept the receipt until they noted the mileage and the current issues with the car and the three-day window that they slated the test period. I took it back on the third day and the mechanic said that the head gasket was blown, and they found metal in the oil pan. They put me into a loaner car and put a new engine in the car. A month later the car started to smoke again. Beings that the car was now off warranty they said I would have to pay over $3k just for the engine and another $1,500 in labor to replace the engine. From day one, I had steering issues as if the front end was out of alignment. That was attributed to someone who test drove, before I bought the car and had struck the curb hard enough to bend some front-end parts. (That was accidently supplied to me via the service department when I asked for the service history of the car.) Thank goodness I had records of the front-end complaints and combined engine issues. I contacted our State Attorney General who went to bat for me. They threatened to sue Kia Motors and within three weeks my loan through Kia Finance was paid in full and received a check from KIA, enough to cover a down payment for another car.
Wow, imagine if the attorney general didn't intervene? It amazes me how badly some manufacturers treat customer (who bought their products)
Good for you!
Can't buy a new engine for 3000 dollars....
Like all direct injection engines, you need to clean out the intake ports because it clogs up with carbon.
As someone in the business of cars and finance, I don’t think it’d be possible to narrow the list to 5. I don’t think I could narrow it to 20…
Truth
Meh, if there was a perfect vehicle EVERYONE would own it. Absolutely EVERY manufacturer has their major egineering flaws... VW has plenty, but i love their look, their ride and their ergonomics and I'm wiling to put up with their issues even though being an automotive technician i have to fix my own junk.
@@gmctech not as simple as you are implying. There are vast differences in flaws that prevent a modern car from going 100k miles without catastrophic failure and cars that can go twice as far or more.
I own a 2015 Chevy traverse and bought used from a used car lot with a warranty. Shortly there after it had multiple issues. Bushings, control arms, mounts, rack/pinion all gone bad. Then in the last month the transmission had shifting issues. Although I love this car, each vehicles reliability depends on how much the car was taken care of from a previous owner. But each car has its own issues.
Go look up Car Wizard and see what he says about Traverse, Equinox etc
I had that issue a few years back as well
GM 3.6 is good for 125-150K per 3 friends who had 2 Acadias, 1 Traverse…2009-2014……then repair exceeded value of car
When cars have nicknames from the manufacturer/new dealer/shop you know to steer clear; Ford Fucus. The Chevy Travesty...etc, etc...
Just wait your going to have more problems…
I know you are Chevy person and I was Chevy but I not anymore. My 2017 Silverado is on its 3 set of door actuators. I have spent over $1000 of my money. Chevy replaced the original door actuators with same deflected door actuator and they have gone out now. I have replace the second set with a new replacement part and those door actuators are going out now. I only have 51300 miles one the truck. I will never buy Chevy again. And all manufacturers have problems but Chevy is now built just good enough to pass warranty. I have more problems with defective parts they build them with cheap parts so have to but the replacement part to. I have spent in total over $5000 fixing stuff that should not have be fixed yet.
Our son-in-law bought a newer F150 ecotec with extended warranty. Tow months later it was in the shop with a bad timing chain, a $6000 repair. The warranty company said it was a pre-existing condition and wouldn't honor the claim. Three months later the dealer finally paid the cost of repair. Be careful to read fine print and reviews before paying for a warranty.
Agree with you on the transmissions. A lot of it is the CVT transmissions. Even though it is 15-20 year technology until recent emmission standards they never cared much to develop them. Now that they have to use them for the MPGs, they are working on developing them. It's just a transission period in the transmissions. Once they all get them figured out they will be stable. But the Nissan's and Kia's were never known to be good.
I agree 100%
I have a 12 year old Altima with a CVT and have never had any problems. I believe the main reason these transmissions go out early is that people aren't changing the CVT fluid and filter every 30,000 miles. I always have and my 12 year old Nissan CVT runs perfectly.
I have a 17 Altima. I agree, I found the trans filters on rockauto. I change the filter and fluid every 20k. 122000 miles dollar for dollar lowest maintenance cost of any car I’ve own.
From what it seems like they can be great transmissions if they are maintained but most people don’t maintain them.
@@damian.739 if I’m not mistaken Nissan doesn’t recommend any trans service. I recommend a trans filter and fluid every 30k but I’m not a mechanic
@@ohhyea3794 In the Nissan owners manual Niissan does recommend changing the transmission fluid. They mention it near the back of the owners manual so owners just have to look for it.
@@damian.739 Nissan CVT's require more maintenance than most to keep them going.. On my old Buick Lesabre car I changed the transmission fluid and filter every 75,000 miles.
the main issue I find with newer 6 speed auto's or CVT transmissions is the owners don't get the transmissions serviced because they are told not to by the manufacturer. Modern transmissions really need a regular fluid service, I just had my 6 speed auto serviced after 60k and the difference is very noticeable.
My mechanic says there is nothing that can be serviced on a modern transmission. I like my mechanic and I trust him. Good luck scaring people into spending hundreds of dollars they dont have to.
@@thomasallen6980
Just the CVTs, but the fluid can and should be changed.
@@thomasallen6980 The fluid can be changed on any trans. Filters on most of them. Your mechanic either doesn't want to mess with it (I can understand why) or doesn't have a clue.
Subaru extended the warranty on the CVT to 10 yr, 100,000 miles. If you change the fluid, you void the warranty. I'll be getting rid of our Subaru before then. Lost me as a return customer.
@@hotpuppy1Me too.
Dodge/Jeep sold to lots of lower credit people because they had base models aka Journey,Renegade,Patriot and Compass until a few years ago brand new were under $22,000...They have a wild variety of trim and option levels more so than most other companies!
Higher trim levels were more expensive 40k or more..Lots of those lower trim models went to rental car agencies and that's where in the used car land they have issues, a 1 owner is generally trouble free!
Journey 3rd row is good for people who occasionally need to use the 3rd row,like a 2nd car or once a month you have to carpool your kids friends to a sporting event..Nonetheless,Durango is better..Remember the Journey replaced the short version Caravan the older version until 2007..
They are rebadged Fiats posing as Jeeps.
Great list. All those problems are dead on accurate. I am surprised you don't have a sixth choice - the Subaru CVT. The throttle body on the CVT goes on many of the cars at 80,000 miles, which is a $900 repair. Then at 150,000 miles or in about 10 years, the CVT just goes dead and needs to be replaced which means you are getting a new car (transmissions go for as much as $9000 new, or remanufactured which no one recommends is about half of that).
Sti swap?
@@burdock4419 I would only buy the stickshift today as that will last a very long time.
We had a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. By 75K miles, the CVT was acting up, interior plastic pieces kept breaking (interior door handles, sun visors, air vents, etc), and 3 radiator fans. By the time we traded it off, we had almost as much in repairs as what we traded it for. Traded it for a 2016 Buick Enclave 3.6L, currently at 105K miles and aside from one sensor, it has had zero problems.
The transmission issues are mainly from trying to squeeze as much mpg out of them as possible and at the same time make them cheap as possible while also pairing them with a turbo that puts stress on them.
I wouldn't own a Chevy passenger car as I had a 2011 Malibu had the " reduced engine power" issue then it would start and shut off . I traded it in and found out the new owner had a timing chain issue cost them $1100 to repair. Plus I had a 2012 Impala 3.6 as the diagnostic system fails to tell you when your battery is bad which caused transmission issues I robbing the tcm of voltage intermittently. I replaced the battery after it tested bad and no more trans issues drove it another 37k miles.
Had a bought-used 2001 Ford Taurus that would act as if there was no battery under the hood every so often. NOTHING. DEAD. Open the hood, there's the battery. VOM says 13.whatever volts. Hmm. Cables tight? Yup. Terminals: Wait.
Remove negative cable. Replace cable on terminal. Start car like nothing is wrong. Lather, rinse, repeat for a couple of years at totally random intervals. The only thing that prevented it was cleaning the terminal posts and connectors until you could eat off of them. ANY tiny amount of off-colorness and it would happen. Or it wouldn't. Maybe. Replaced the battery several months before trans failed for second time since I bought it; car never acted that way again. But before you blame the battery, it started year-around in all kinds of temperatures the entire time. But it was funny to not even get a click turning the key, yet removing and replacing the cable on the battery terminal and the car started instantly.
Ive had 3 kias an 1 Hyundai. All were excellent to over 100.000 miles, none ever required any warranty work. In fact my 17 Elantra turned 100.000 miles 2 weeks ago. 0 repairs, 0 issues. Engine and transmission still performing just like new. I should state I only buy brand new, and maintain my vehicles VERY WELL.
You got lucky. I had 2 Kias start burning oil at around 50k, I got rid of them due to their bad reputation.
@EricVonZipper I agree. 2017 Hyundai sonata 2.4 oil guzzling POS. Luckily A deer took it out. Fighting with Hyundai was exhausting and every chance I get I will let anyone willing to listen to STAY AWAY from anything KIA/Hyundai. Several thousands of consumers have had to eat these.
Also, in my opinion just like any car. It depends on how you use and maintain your vehicle. I had no problems with my 2019 cherokee. I also get recommendations maintenance done in a timely fashion.
& usually with Jeeps if you off road often and lots of Work done. That’s when I noticed problems with other’s vechicles.
You think a 3 year old jeep not having many problems is impressive? I think my Honda made it 11 years without a problem, and then it was minor. The Toyota is looking better than the Honda, 7 years, not a tiny thing wrong so far, as expected.
My local tv station in the American Midwest says that some insurance companies are refusing to write up auto insurance policies for Kias and Hyundais any more after it was revealed online how easy it is to steal vehicles that are those car brands.
in the you RUclips search engine, watch a documentary called Kia Boys. Very interesting of how they steal the Kias/Hyundais and have ZERO regrets.
Had a new Jeep Cherokee in 91 and it went forever with little repairs. Wish you could get the same today, the 4wd worked very well.
Chevy dude don’t forget Hyundai and Kia have a new thing where you bring your car to the dealer and they do an update or something and makes the car not start when they try to start it the immobilized system activates
I know everyone says avoid Nissans with the CVT, but you sure see a lot of old Altimas on the road. Like 10-20 year old ones that look like they've had a very hard life, but keep chugging along (usually driven by someone who acts like they have nothing to lose).
They probably change the CVT fluid and filter every 30,000 miles like your supposed to. Those CVT's can last a very long time with proper maintenance.
@@josephkelleher8820 I had a 2010 Mitsu Lancer with that Jatco CVT and did just that. My nephew now has it and its well over 100K with no CVT issues. I told him to absolutely spend the money every 30K for a CVT service. I warned it that he doesn't want a repair that would cost more than the car is worth. So far so good.
Avoid ANY CVT
@@josephkelleher8820 They probably are on their 5th CVT. Changing fluid doesn’t extend the life at all.
15 or 20 year old had regular transmissions, not CVT.
My daughter bought car shield bumper to bumper coverage for an extended warranty. When she had an issue with it and took it to the dealer not only does she have to pay $100 deductible for car shield but the dealer tacked on another $130 fee that was not covered by car shield. Car shield stated the shop just didn’t think they were making enough money on the deal so they tacked on the other $130 so you also have to be careful about the extended warranty.
The reason the shop tacked on extra money is because they have to spend hours on the phone with car shield to get the approval for the warranty claim. Car shield is absolutely trash. You’re lucky they even accepted their warranty. I wouldn’t accept it at my shop.
I wish I knew that earlier!! But she made the claim thru car shield and it was approved before she took it to the dealership. Or at least they stated her claim was approved. Who knows. However thanks for responding, keep up the good work. Wishing you great success!
@@ChevyDude So what warranty program do you recommend?
@@jimowens381 the one he sells.
@@ChevyDude Sounds like a good follow up topic for an upcoming video.
We just bought a 2014 Santa Fe Sport with the GDI and 87,000 miles. Hopefully we don't have these issues anytime soon.
I own a 2019 Dodge Journey. I like it. I can attest the transmission went out at 38,000 miles totally uncalled for but whatcha going to do? the dealer fixed it no questions. Other than that I haven’t had any issues with it. It’s got about 50,000 on it now. So you would think it would not have issues but that’s cars for you. BUILT TO SELL NOT BUILT TO LAST. The 3rd row is tight but it comes in handy when I had all 7 seats taken up. I bought it brand new. wish me luck everybody. Lol I hope it lasts. I do take excellent good care of my cars so I hope me staying on top of maintenance will save me a lot of grief. Only time will tell.
My 2014 Kia optima is currently in the service center for the second time for the engine first time they replaced it this time I have been without a car for two weeks now with no approval for repairs as of yet😢I was surprised to see you say Kia optima and confirm my on going issues
My Dodge has over 300,000 miles on it and it is still running fine never rebuilt motor or transmission
The worst vehicle I ever owned was a 2006 Chevy 2500 with a Duramax. At 61k miles driving on I40, there was some sort of catastrophic failure under the hood and it caught fire instantly, the entire truck burned and I got my kids out just in time. Actually filed a lawsuit against Chevy and won over that truck. The second worse vehicle I have ever drove was a 2011 Chevy Equinox that was my company car. We had to get rid of it after 2 years because it had over $7k woth of repairs in 18 months and lived in the shop, but only had 68k miles. Because of those two experiences, I stay far away from Chevy now. The only two vehicles that have ever left me stranded in 22 years of driving were both Chevys. And no they were not driver errors, both vehicles were very well cared for and driven normally. All brands have issues. Just buy what you want and fix it when it breaks.
There's no way Chevy Dude is putting a Chevy on the list, despite their MANY piles of junk.
I’d gladly buy a car that’s 20 years old, 200,000 miles and with a service history before I buy a new car with a warranty!
My FNI Mgr never came in saying they regretted owning an extended warranty when car crapped out.
I wish I had known this earlier about Kia. Me and my wife just bought our first car and it's a Kia Optima.
Yeah. Kia and hyondai are know for bad engines. Best to keep up that oil change to delay the inevitable
Mumbling the legal disclaimers has been and continues to be a standard feature of tv commercials for decades.
The trend is so persistent that Saturday Night Live did a sketch on the subject years ago featuring a product liability lawyer talking to ad agency executives.
The lawyer was saying something like "The bad news is that you are legally required to mention information contained in federal law that this company passionately disagrees with. We propose the way to just barely comply with this law is to mumble the information so that it is not easily understandable."
My 2017 Nissan Sentra has near 120,000 miles on it and the only issue I've had with it is the AC compressor going out. The CVT has had no issues. I just had the fluid and coolant replaced just last week for the 4th time. Even at the dealership they are shocked it's still running.
Why did you have to change the coolant 4 times in the short period? Once every 50,000 miles is plenty for grant or coolant changes.
@@becausehelivesministryintl6841 it's recommend to change it when you change the CVT fluid. On Nissan models due to the coolant degrading as it ages and temps increase which can have an effect on the CVT fluid keeping cool.
Hyaundai put me through the ringer to use "The worlds best warranty" took a good 6 months overall 2 of which we had to cover our own rental fees. I love the Looks and features but with all the issues I had on my 2018 and now my 2022 I wouldn't recommend them if you main reason for choosing is the warranty
WHY purchase a '22 model after the 2018 Hyundai was an absolute lemon ?!? Most buyers would move away from that Korean brand lickity split to avoid being burned once AGAIN. What Say You ?!? 🗣️🚗. 🔍
@@johnde2754 I have a 2009 Hyundai Elantra with 109k miles on it. No major issues. Just normal maintenance. *knocks on wood* I was going to consider getting another Hyundai after this one, as my last two were Hyundais as well. Sad to hear the quality has diminished.
@@johnde2754 the 18 wasn't a lemon so to speak. just stating having engine problems around the same time as we got the 2022. and it was used upon purchase. didn't think the brand new one yield the same problems
Had a 2017 Dodge Journey and loved it. Never had an issue. Was very nice riding and quiet.
I have a Jeep Cherokee Limited from 2015. Not a single problem after 80,000kms. (From Vancouver Canada)
Most warranties are bogo warranties !
Paid $1900.00 for my last bogo warranty, 4 claims and 4 excuses why not one item was covered!
Shout out to Mcclusky Chevrolet in Cincinnati for that warranty and a junk car!
Thanks Keith Mcclusky!
"McClunker". 😁
Putting the money in the Bank is usually wiser. However year ago we had a customer pay almost $5000 for a Cadillac Northstar with a Blown Head gasket. Rather than take the car back the Dealer bought the customer a one year extended warranty and provided them with a loaner car for 2 weeks and turn the claim in after 2 weeks( warranty fine print). The warranty company paid like $2500 of the $3000 bill. I think the warranty cost the dealer like $350.
Anything with a cvt transmission should be avoided. 22 chevy 1500 with 5.3 engine. Any electric vehicle because of fire,well noted during floods and quick depreciation.
I bought a 2017 Skoda. Fabia. Dsg. Auto. I’ve had it three years. And have it properly serviced at the right time it needs it and by the main dealer. I pay extra every year for all major component warranty just incase I have any gearbox problems but so far nothing has ever let me down and no signs of any rust. Anywhere
Had a Jeep Patriot for 10 years but then the transmission began slipping at only 70K miles. That was my last Jeep. I’ve gone back to Honda with a 2022 CRV which I love.
Jeep Patriot had a CVT transmission,your 2022 Honda CRV also has a CVT transmission and they dont make it to 100,000 miles either! Honda has huge issues with their cvt transmissions,many are replaced under warranty and 50,000...60,000 miles!!
You bought the same type of vehicle,same issue you will have..Furthermore,Jeep no longer has any model with a cvt transmission only the Compass until 2014 and Patriot used the cvt,others use a 8 speed or 9 speed transmission.
Upgrade, our Jeep Grand Cherokee has been flawless. No CVT transmission or any cheap stuff. Excellent vehicle
@@rediron44flawless. Lol. It’s a Jeep. Just wait.
@@joes7930 how long?? We've had it 5 years already. My wife's daily. Just drove it from Cincinnati to Kansas and back. Perfect. My 2003 Jeep Rubicon has been tough as nails. Our previous 2004 Grand Cherokee had 222,000 before trade in, never any major problems. Engine, and all powertrain was great. Quit buying cheap economy models
@@rediron44 never any “major” problems. Key word. I’m sure it’s has several non maintenance issues . meanwhile my Japanese made car (subaru) has had NONE in 6.5 years except routine maintenance.
I have a 2009 Jeep Patriot. Bought it used for $3000 2 years ago with 100,000 miles. It now has 120,000 on it. Just had the trans serviced for $250. Other than normal maintenance, it's actually been a good car. I guess I got lucky
I bought my 2014 Jeep patriot brand new in 2014, just this year I had to replace spark plugs and starter. It’s been amazing! But I also take really great care of it
I had a friend that had a Hyundai that they refused to warranty because the oil changes (which were all documented) didn't all happen at a dealer, some were done at other places. No oil changes were skipped. Bassically, you can't count on a Hyundai or Kia warranty.
Not my experience. They have been great to me. My 17 Elantra I bought new , just turned 100.000 miles with 0 repairs. And 0 issues.
Thanks for the great information. We want to buy a retirement car but with all these cars coming out now not worth buying we decided to wait. We will continue researching and watching your videos. Again Thanks 👍
Buy a new Lexus ES 350. Still has a naturally aspirated V6.
My retirement car was a Toyota Camry. Owned it for 10 years now. Best, least troublesome car I have ever owned.
Friends mom had a jeep cherokee. They paid 5k for extended warranty when they bought itm the car is 60k and has been through three transmissions and 2 major electrical issues.
Parents bought a rogue and trans went out at 38k miles.
How about a video on say the 5-10 best used vehicles to buy?
Have 2 Nissans with the CVT transmissions. One with 85k and the other with 120k miles. No problems, both bought new, but you MUST change the fluid every 40k or you will regret it. Easy to do yourself. I use Castrol CVT fluid. Lot cheaper than Nissan fluid from the dealer, and is as good or better.
CVT’s try replacing the crank sensor for $40. When this sensor goes bad even transmission shops believe the transmission is bad
Great video, my sister bought a Hyundai and at 105k the engine went out. She bought it from carmax and the Hyundai replaced the engine. This was last year. So they do have engines but I still would not buy one.
I’m not sure about the journey we’ve had two and a few people i know have them. They have been great little suvs. Lots of family vacation trips made in ours with no issues. We now have a Durango and love that also
I'm a firm believer in extended warranties but shop around. And if you have a problem make sure its covered.
Can not believe the Ram ECO diesel did not make this list. Horrible design.
Bought a hyundai accent (cheap) 14 years ago, paid off 10 years ago, still my daily driver.
Those were the 'good' ones. NO GDI engine, conventional automatic trans. Simple and cheap to fix if you stay away from the dealer.
What about genesis should I buy 2015 used 104, thousand miles haven't heard anything yet what you think 🤔
I daily a C7 and a Gladiator. The Gladiator doesn’t feel slow at all to me. JK days were slow, but JL/JT is far better. Totally disagree with you on this one bud.
I've had Nissans and Chryslers, won't have another one,cvt, horrible, Chrysler 300 c34000 miles when I bought it in 29000 miles over 5000 dollar of repairs,traded for Lexus es 350,great car
Purchased a 2010 Jeep Compass brand new back in the day...drove it up to 56K and without warning (and after a state inspection just two weeks prior) the stability control light comes on, and within 100 yards, the right front wheel...the entire wheel...drops out of the side of the car. The dealership later claims that the ball joint was bad, but again, after an inspection that said that everything was fine, they point to the ball joint, which usually lasts up to 100K before needing to be replaced. In the time that I owned it, I had to replace the suspension, but otherwise, it lasted until 150K miles when I traded it in for another car. So now necessarily the best car, but I didn't have transmission or engine issues. Oh...and the A/C compressor died after six years of relatively minor usage. So I'd agree, Jeeps have really lost their shine in the last decade or so.
Mainly a rust belt issue, brand doesn't matter. Lots of cars in the Carolinas no matter how old with little rust. Cars along the seashore area can rust because of the salty air.
I grew up in a time extended warranty was a joke. Not now. Never lost money on extended warranty regardless of manufacturer
Michael I own 4 vehicles that need extended warranties. How do I get in touch with you?
I have a 2010 nissan altima.
I'm the first owner and no issues with the transmission or engine.
I follow the maintenance schedule
Everything else, just wear and tear
Excellent! How many miles you got on it? I’ve got a 2017 Nissan Versa Note with 68K miles on it. So far only battery and oil changes.
@robertmoore2049
Don't get Nissan battery. Those only last 2 yrs, best u get interstate battery if one is available in your area. They can help find the issue why it keep dieing every 2 yrs
I'm at 152,000 miles. Still going strong 💪
@@DanielGarcia-zz9eg awesome to hear! I did get an Interstate battery. I’m glad you are getting a lot of miles on your car and its going strong!
My neighbor & I both had a Dodge Journey. She had all the problems in the world. I had none. Smh
3.6 gm stay far away
buy a new one,change the oil every 2000 miles with good synthetic oil,oil passages to the timing chains won't clog up,it will last
@@georgestrickland9278 or just buy a toyota that will outlast any modern "American car"
My Hyundai tuscon knock sensor thing is now engine covered 15 years to 150k what ever comes 1st
Might not be most owners, but my family put over 200,000 on a 2019 jeep Cherokee in a year, no problems. As in putting that many miles on it over some years, I’m not too sure about the longevity of the plastic parts on the engine.
My 2011 Rouge's transmission went up and the transmission guy told me that there's a problem with those
FYI
The Nissan SUV with CVT can be problem free but require transmission service every 30K, the issue with CVT is from what I have seen lack of maintenance the fluid gets to hot and kills the transmission.
Funny didn’t mention all the engine problems w bent rods in Chevy v-8s recently
So, most cars in the tri-state area?
CVT'S are not made for mountain driving (unless you have the set/hold gear option)
I disagree with the journey. I own 2. 2010 and 2011. Both with the 2.4 engine. It is a tad under power but for what I paid I have no complaints. My 2010 has 266,000 miles. Only repairs I've done 8s rear shocks, brake pads, one caliper, 2 ball joints, one sway bar link. The 2011 has 188k, did one ball joint, 2 sway bar links and brake pads.
Can you make a video about this but with performance vehicles? Like maybe used Hellcats, Zl1s, Corvettes, things like that
As far the Escape, mostly 2013-2019 had transmission issues.. Currently have parts on order for my own Escape lol. 2-3 bump shift and torque converter failure. The jelly bean Escapes don't have as many issues. And the coolant intrusion has extended coverage for some years of the Escape.
Your info on the Kia engine issue is not correct. It was the Theta 2 that had the milling issue AND was only from 2010 to 2013. The key issue is only Kia's with NO immobilizer installed with the security system and is only a few models in certain years. My 2012 KIA Optima SX has been an excellent car and KIA has always covered, under warranty, any issue I have had and I have 110k on it.
I gave JD Power enough money...now I'm number one on the list!
The Dodge jokes of 17% APR for 96 months is, insanely relevant.
Jdpower recommends Hyundai/Kia…. Tells all you need to know about JDPower.
if you want a CVT to last change the fluid and filter every year. in 1 year it go from light green to almost black under normal driving conditions
Yeah that's the problem. For decades, you only needed to change trans fluid around every 60 -70K miles under normal conditions. Now these CVT's are everywhere and people just aren't used to having to worry about trans fluids every 25-35K miles.
He is 100% correct on the Gladiator! I bought a 2022 Gladiator Mojave. Slow as F%ck… traded a wrangler for it. Wrangler was just fine
Wrangler and Gladiators have the same power train as mentioned. They are basically the same vehicle from the front seats to the front bumper. I’ve owned both.
The Gladiator weighs about 600-800 lbs more than a Wrangler Unlimited with the same powertrain. The Gladiator needs a V-8 (or the Hurricane engine but I don't know the status.)
who can afford a used car ? Great video Sir
My only disagreement is with the 2015 and later Cherokees. I know of several of these vehicles with well over 300,000 miles and no trouble. The pre 2014 Cherokees in that style yes and definitely the Patriot, Compass, and Renegade. The last of those is just a Fiat 500 with a new body. BTW that is one I would add to your list. I would also add the Range Rover and Land Rover money pits.
Well I have a 2001 Saturn sl1 have had it for 8 years a very good car
How did you not mention the GM 3.6L major engine failures after 120K miles. I like these vehicles, the Traverse, Enclave, etc., but look to trade or sell it after hitting 100K miles.
Improper maintenance most likely.
I had a 2011 CTS Premium Coupe with the 3.6L LLT and that car was amazing. 196K miles and still no issues. Just keep up on your maintenance.
I've owned a renegade and it was a good car plenty of power with the 2.4 in it never had any warranty work on it and it quiet threaded it in at 120.000 on a new compass I've owned alout of Chrysler products over tears
And stay away from 4 cyl turbo unless you have bumper to bumper
Agree with all mentioned although I would buy a Hyundai Kia before a Chevy,,, on Toyota or Lexus for reliability!!!
Did everyone forget how to make a transmission? Or just hooked on these cheap CVT's? 2006 BMW 530, close to 300,000 miles, original ZF 6HP29 6-speed (hydraulic) automatic. Shifts like it's new. Trick? Change the fluid ...
My mom has a really special 2013 Nissan rogue SV but the car doesn't have a CVT as an SXL the car has 145,688 miles
Jeeps always had a bad rap...But the rest? Wow! TY
(Laughs in 2003 Toyota Corolla).
Nissan stole Ford's transmission playbook, while Stellantis is picking up the pieces of the "Fix It Again, Tony!"-era cheap Heeps...err, Jeeps.
As for extended warranties, do some serious homework; some of the companies are denying claims just like dealers do for factory warranty claims.
This dude looks like he would happily sell you all five of those kinds of cars.
Keep it simple if you're buying used zero in on Honda or Toyota that's your best bet...it all comes down to maintenance history
You mentioned slow how about the 2.7 engine in the Silverado joke and now that's the one they put in the Colorado..
Very helpful information.
I like the 2010 Camaro 2SS you currently have 😊
Great information. Thanks for your time and effort.
Why are the dealer fees so high here in Florida???? $1200+ ?? I watch these videos and he says $300. It's insane. 😢
Nice list but you could have added at least one more brand and motor that you sort of must of forgot to add that is also very well known for failing motors but something tells me that it would conflict with your previous employment and/or your channel name. cough GM 3.6L /cough
I keep hearing how bad the GM 3.6 is but I personally know dozens of people with that motor across multiple GM vehicles and none have had any problems.
@@FIREPHILSPENCER Until it happens to them, like it did to far, far many more people. While even a broken clock is right twice a day, and so a few people might statistically get lucky, more did not. The 3.6 reports are all over the Internet.
@@markh.6687 Everything is always worse on the internet and by volume the 3.6 is probably GM second most mass produced engine, If the internet is correct timing chain recalls/lawsuits should be by the millions idk.
@@FIREPHILSPENCER it's a well documented and well known failure. Take a few minutes and research it for yourself. The Car Wizard has several videos that pertain to this motor and the timing chain issues. Steve Lehto even talked about a court case involving a vehicle with this motor just the other day so check out that video.
@@wexysexy6942 I’ve seen those videos and are well aware of the timing chain issues, I don’t doubt them I doubt how common they are.
Don't forget the Acadia, Equinox ad nauseum with the God-Awful 3.6 L V-6. But you're the Chevy Dude, so you have to keep that on the downlow.
My mom had a Dodge Journey once. Try going on a road trip being a single mother of 3 kids and pack all of our luggage in that thing. There was barely any visibility out the rear window once everything was loaded in the cargo area. Even though we all enjoyed our vacation the driving was rough for her. She bought a full size pickup truck after that fiasco.
Its easier to say which cars to buy then not buy. Lexus, Toyota, or Honda. Thats it.
Only if EVERYONE could afford the 3 you mentioned Forrest.
Exactly!
My buddy made a fortune on Hyundai Kia engines. There are a number of models out there with issues. You just have to pick your poison.
I have seen a ton of Audis losing valves and heads at 100k.
Even Toyota and Honda has issues.
Today’s cars are so complex that there are many points of failure. Nearly all cvt transmissions. Many timing belts and chains.
As someone who unknowingly bought a car with a 3 year loan recently, I can tell you another car to avoid is ANY 2012--2018 Ford Focus! I bought it April 15 and it was in the shop April 19 with 106,004 miles. The Powershift Automatic had comepletely went out! The TCM failed (Btw they have 100% fail rate after 11 revisions) and it caused major damages to the actuators and clutch packs. If the dealer didnt pay and I hadnt payed the first bill, I would've ditched it. AGAIN DO NOT BUY A FOCUS OR FIESTA WITH THE POWERSHIFT. THEY WILL BANKRUPT YOU.
GM 3.6L is absolute garbage. Ask the CarWizard.
GM should have never gotten rid of the 3.8L V-6 made by Buick. One of the best engines ever.
Amazing no GM cars were on the list. I have owned 5 Hyundai......only one gave be issues (2.4)...and Hyundai took care of it.....3 had the 2.4 engine in question....
