Rev your engines today by popular demand. I'm going to talk about the six

worst

SUVs out there right now. Yes. SUVs are becoming increasingly popular. People buy many more SUVs than cars. Look at Ford. They're giving up their cars, except for him. Mustang and

only

sells SUVs and trucks, but being popular, the price of SUVs has skyrocketed, so you don't want to spend all that money and get a bunch of junk, so today I'm going to talk about six SUVs that you should. I didn't stay away from you, I should have run away from them, don't even think about buying them.

Number six on the list is a Nissan Rogue. I had customers with those, they got mileage of seventy and eighty thousand miles, they started to fall apart, they are so worse that October there is a lawsuit against them for their emergency braking system turns out the emergency braking system that is supposed to save you is broken it breaks

only

sometimes when you go down a road for no reason if

people

can crush India just what you want Owning an SUV that gets you into an accident is not avoiding it by braking for no reason and above all the vehicles are junk, they lose about sixty percent of their value in the first five years of ownership, so in this case, Hello, Nissan.

You gave the road the right name and you want to stay away from rogues whenever possible. Number five on the list is the Chevy Equinox. You don't want to buy an Equinox either. Now Chevy realized their problems in 2005, they started making the original. Equinox, but they turned to the digital crossover SUV, they call it equinox, so they're still available, but it's still falling apart. They are known for excessive oil consumption. I had a customer with a thing that burned a quart of oil every 500 miles. but of course in any modern vehicle burning oil is more than just a nuisance because that burning oil will eventually destroy the catalytic converter in the oxygen sensors by clogging them and if you don't have oil of course the engine explodes and deteriorates. the anti-pollution system that can cost thousands of dollars to fix is ​​generally not a good car, our customers were transmissions for now, we are typical of modern GMs, they don't make automatic transmissions that good anymore, that's super expensive. fix that costs thousands and thousands of dollars these are for vehicles that have less than one hundred thousand miles.

I'm not talking about something that has three hundred thousand miles on it and yes, things eventually wear out, these things wear out before their time and just like the seasons. come and pass the equinox I would pass it up I wouldn't buy it in the first place, now number four on the list is the Dodge Journey. I was surprised that now in 2019 they discontinued some of the travel models and they were talking about a lot. They're going to abandon the Dodge Journey completely, but a couple of weeks ago they didn't realize they talked about how great their 2020 Dodge Journey was in one of those PR brochures they send out all over the internet to try to get

people

going. to buy.

Yes, give it to Dodge, there is plenty of room inside, they have all the bells and whistles, but unfortunately they don't hold up over time, they get pretty bad gas mileage, and their resale value is horrendous now that they are owned by Fiat, another bankrupt company. So now you have two failed companies merging, what do you think they are going to do to achieve brilliant success after decades of failure? I mean, actually, one of the reasons Fiat bought Chrysler was so they could have all these crazier dealerships where they could sell their Fiats. but now they are even talking about getting Fiat out of the United States because their Fiat models sold so poorly in the United States that it doesn't make much sense to go to the trouble of trying to sell them when they are only sold in a few of them and they didn't really make any profit and the few customers of mine who bought Dodge Journeys were disappointed in the long run, they liked them when they were new, all for the kids and they could fit a lot of people in them, but as they get older.

The new transmissions were faulty or their engine started burning oil or their electrical system started to fail like many late model Chryslers. They said I won't buy another Dodge product so I took advantage of my customer's mistake and don't buy one. Of these Dodge Journeys that now rank third on my list of the six

worst

SUVs to buy, the Volkswagen Tiguan is also no surprise to a Volkswagen product in the United States today, although the Teague braggarts are powered by a turbocharged engine from four cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The transmission figured it out a long time ago, Volkswagen bought Outtie and Porsche, they took a lot of that complex technology and put it into Volkswagen which used to be a simple reliable car maker with the old beetles, things were cheap and could work for always with very little maintenance.

Do it yourself easily, we can forget that with this, that turbocharged direct injection engine famous for having carbon buildup inside it also had problems with timing chains and attention errors that broke when they traveled a little over a hundred thousand miles and then those are interference engines, then the valves hit the pistons and you have to put new heads in the engine, it costs a fortune, people throw them away and then if they get serious mileage and the dual clutch transmissions in them, they probably be the worst thing they can Volkswagen ever thought of. I've seen those things come out and people spend five to seven thousand dollars to replace them.

This high level of technologists in the Tiguan bites you in the back if you keep it for a period of time like now, no. Don't be fooled by them, let's say you do a road test, take it to the dealership. They're a lot of fun to drive, they handle pretty well, but they just don't hold up over time. Let's say you want a small SUV and you drive a thousand. miles a year, go ahead and buy a thing that generally won't break down, then a thousand miles a year, thirty years if it gets 30,000 miles on it, it would probably be running perfectly fine and of course they have horrendous resale value, you'd use them cheap, but here we go again, you don't want to use Volkswagen turbo, don't use number two on a list of SUVs you shouldn't buy: the BMW X series, the x3, the x5, but especially the yaks three over the years.

I've had some clients. BMW , you could spend them. thousands of dollars fixing your transmission systems here in the United States they are all automatic they are incredibly complex and yes they break down all the time and then cost a fortune to fix it often costs more to fix the transmission than the car is worth and be Modern BMWs, because they are plagued with oil leaks, use all this plastic garbage in the engine system and in the cooling system, which has a lot of plastic material that ages and cracks and starts to come off and then may Whether it's cheap plastic, but it's not cheap to buy or repair when it breaks now, of course, they're not giving these things away, they're extremely expensive to begin with, so unfortunately I've seen quite a few people buy them when they're five and six years old. man, think, look at all the money I saved and yes, you saved a lot of money over the original sticker price, there's no doubt that if you keep one of those things for another three four years, all those savings will go down the toilet. repairs, let's face it, if you spend forty two thousand on an SUV, you expect quality and speaking of quality, these extras here in the United States are not made in Germany, they are made in the United States and South Carolina, you are paying that kind of money for a German car, at least for me, I expect it to be made by Germans in Germany, so if you value money for your SUV, stay away from the BMW X3.

This is the time you were waiting to buy the worst SUV and is it any wonder? Land Rover or to be more specific Jaguar Land Rover, the company is not just one company, Jaguar Land Rover, it used to be English, but Tata, the Indian company that makes those cheap little cars, hit rock bottom a while ago and then they started to have trouble losing money, so now the Chinese. It owns half of Jaguar Land Rover, so you think the quality of these new Chinese factories, but last month the Chinese were protesting against Jaguar Land Rover factor over the poor quality of their vehicles.

It's quite ironic that they were known for their poor quality there. In England, the Indians are in last place and the quality keeps going down and then the Chinese are half of them and the quality keeps going down, but interestingly, at least here in the United States they sell a lot of these Land Rovers because they are a kind of car for the yuppie crowd everyone has to have one I remember a client of mine was buying one for his girlfriend he had a new girlfriend he was 50 she was in her twenties I just had to have a Landrover and when I plugged in my fancy scan tool and I found like 27 different things that were wrong on the giant computer scan, yeah these things are not reliable.

Hey, when the Chinese are protesting in China at their headquarters in China about the poor quality that gels in something and the warning about purchasing. a used one because it's a lot cheaper saving money is a double warning because as they get older they fall apart faster than probably any car out there buying a used one is a never ending money pit. I've had customers who bought it and thought, oh, me. I only paid $8,000 for this vehicle and then they find out it takes four thousand here, five thousand here and over the years, in my case, I need forty thousand dollars worth of work, so you're going on a trip in your SUV, just make sure you don't do it. in a Land Rover, get it in something that's a little better built and yes everyone loves their SUVs these days but you don't want to be stopped with a lemon so heed my warning and don't buy any of these six of which I just talked about. about, so if you don't want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring the bell.
