Top 10 WORST SUV's of 2024 You Should NEVER BUY || Avoid These Money Pits

[@ilovetotri23]

I am glad you mention the Wagoneer! I think it is insane to have a single car payment that could pay the mortgage on 2 houses. Not to mention the reliability issues for which Jeep is known. I saw an ad that you could lease a Wagoneer for just $899/month. I was floored. I love this channel! Thanks for all you do!!!

At this point, Mazda is making the only sane vehicles out there. Safe, attractive, feature-driven, and fast--at a fair price point and no useless EV garbage. Toyota's dealers are gouging prices, and everyone else is trying to figure out how to sell EVs to a US market that is, for the most part, rejecting them.

Kudos to Mazda for having a nice selection of CX-5’s available when we needed a new vehicle. Our 2023 CX-5 is awesome. Toyota is failing to get vehicles to the market in a timely way. The dealer wanted a $500 non refundable deposit with no guarantee of even getting a vehicle within a year. That’s poor customer service.

Excellent list as always! No surprises on this list - if anyone watches well known KZbin car mechanics such as Car Wizard or Scotty Kilmer, this is exactly what they say over and over in trying to caution people about wasting their money. If there is one saving grace these days it's that none of these bad choices are "cheap" anymore. That used to be how some folks got suckered into buying a lemon (Dodge Journey or Caliber for example), but now with even the terrible options costing a lot of money, I would _hope_ that makes people think twice and do a little more research before buying.

Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep are now owned by Stillantis, which can only manufacture a POS vehicle. The Jeep Renegade is a Fiat 500X. The new Dodge Hornet is a Peugeot. The list goes on. In the early 2000s, Nissan sold out to Renault, so now you know why Nissan’s quality has been declining. GM gets most of its parts from China. A lot of Fords, GM are made in Mexico.

My last car was a brand new jeep compass. I liked it for 6 months until the center screen would randomly stop working. Also the car “jumped” randomly while driving. I’ve never experienced anything like that before with any of my previous cars. I traded the compass in for a Mazda cx-90 recently and I’m never looking back.

Thank you for review! Absolutely agree with you!

It's worth noting most new cars, are designed to burn oil something to do with emissions laws. This info came from a head mechanic at Toyota. Doesn't make any sense burning oil lowers emissions?

You can still get the Fiat 500X? We test drove one, along with a Jeep Renegade, about a year after they came out. Our route took us down a side street with a speed bump. The Renegade bounced over it no problem (but it did have something loose behind a panel). When we drove the Fiat, we took the speed bump a lot slower - maybe 20 km/h - and the rear suspension completely bottomed out producing a nasty jar through the cabin. Immediate loss of interest.

[@sdrsdr1176]

I think the reason being, prices are up. It's a test for consumers on who would & how many will buy at these price range.

I just cannot look at the new Blazer and take it seriously. To me a Blazer were the big trucks I new in the early 80's.

Actually surprised neither Hyundai or KIA on your list, which is good! End of August I brought a 2023 Hyundai Kona for 28000! Don’t need a big SUV since already have a full size pickup! Kona has all wheel drive and a sun roof! No EV, EV’s are lithium junk! Worked the battery industry till I retired last summer!!!!

To be honest, Ford Explorer's inclusion on this list was a big surprise to me...

[@nickdebenedetto2267]

i dont know if i can trust this google eyed guy trying to tell me that Explorers are bad SUVs. I've had two and they've been exceptionally reliable and just seem to have a lot more personality than a Highlander or Pathfinder. Speaking of Pathfinder, how the H did that not make this list?? talk about a soulless, unreliable SUV

[@breakthywill5519]

@@nickdebenedetto2267 I legit think this guy is paid by Toyota and Subaru. Those two brands never make his bad lists, but pretty much every other major brand does. #sus

[@brianwillis9647]

Unfortunately the dealer service departments seem to be a huge part of the reliability problem. The expert service they proclaim is non existent at the dealership where I bought my SUV. every time my oil is changed the oil life fails to be reset and on one service visit one of my lock lugs was removed and not reinstalled but they offered to sell me another set. Also the tire that it was missing from developed a sidewall bubble and had to be replaced.

I plan to buy a car next month and I am between Toyota Yaris Cross and Ford Puma. Yaris cross is hybrid and Toyota has a great record for reliable cars. Ford cars are not as reliable. Puma has an EcoBoost engine that is supported by a 48V battery and an electric motor and a Powershift gear box. These are parts that had created problems in the Focus. But Puma has the good looks, it is CHEAPER, the insurance premiums are lower compared to the Yaris Cross and is more spacious and luxurious. What do you think about these two cars?
