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

[@cardood7516]

Half the vehicles on this list are rental lot and fleet lease staples, including the Grand Wagoneer. I rented one a few months ago and true to form, it handled like garbage with only 20k on the clock. Great video and extremely accurate.

[@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!!!

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.

[@sandynelson6180]

You did a great job detailing what we need to know about these cars.

[@JDMSwervo2001]

People…buy what you want as a matter of fact just lease it. Not everyone wants a Toyota honda or subaru

[@bretthaddy9697]

I just purchased a 2024 jeep grand cherokee summit, and love it

[@Benkatz1987Katz-vh7jh]

I LOVE my 2024 Escape ST Elite!

[@fremontpathfinder8463]

You can add my Honda 2020 HRV to to your list. Two major problems with the AC and it cost me 1300 dollars total. Ill be getting a Mazda next

[@TheOzthewiz]

Any Mazda is an excellent choice for reliable vehicle.

[@psfca]

I have a 2016 HRV with no problem

[@maxter3326]

And after Mazda you will realize that you should of listened and bought Toyota 😂.

[@kmka2206]

Or you could opt for $9k brake pads & rotors on a MB…. In which case, you’d LOVE only having a $1,300 shop bill😂 Don’t ask me how I know that😭😂 AMG GLC63 ownership be like😅

[@TheOzthewiz]

@@maxter3326 Mazda has a reliability track record just as STELLAR as Toyota, plus they have high overall scores....check Consumer Reports if you don't believe me!

[@Liferoad371]

You will always have a Jeep owner tell you that they love their Jeeps.

[@uspsdaveable]

I’ve got a 2013 wrangler….love it , just hit 170,000 today…it’s not for everyone, no vehicle is.

[@TheOzthewiz]

I used to hear that SAME thing from PINTO owners even after all the people were dying in the FIREY rear end collisions! Go figure! The SAME also from Vega owners after the aluminum engines were disintegrating! Love is STRANGE!

[@mskimrn9636]

I have a Jeep 2022 grand Cherokee and I love it

I have a jeep grand cherokee 2012 and now it's 240k miles

[@danibj]

The 1.5 newer Escapes are good, it’s a total different than the1.5 ecoboom from the older generation.

[@MGMidget73]

LandRover not in top three?

[@sethnapolitano396]

The 1.5 liter engine in the Escape & Bronco Sport is a 3 cylinder engine. Everyone gets this wrong. Did you do any research? Do your opinions come from other vidoes. The Equinox & Terrain haven't used the 2.0 turbo 4 for a while now. The 3.6L V6 in the Blazer is a different engine than the one in the Equinox from before 2018.

[@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.

[@casevandenberg333]

Had a 2017 GMC Terrain, never had any problems with it. Traded it in for A 2024 GMC terrain and am liking it very much to date. 1.5 turbo with 9 speed tranny not a power house, but gets the job done. I guess it depends a lot of what a person expects out of their vehicle and what they use it for. I do agree however that all chrysler vehicles are crap. I can attest to that because I have owned several during my lifetime and yes, they are crap.

[@jonpalacios4606]

My vw get excellent gas mileage plus I drove another since 2010.

[@clubbi911]

I'm driving an MINI F60 since 4 years and i never had any issues or Oil/Reliability issues...It's a very solid good Dailydriver.

great videos man straight to the piont ..thanks man

[@tongzhang217]

My friend ordered they Toyota sienna need wait 3 years in Canada. 60k for xle really fk up

[@TheOzthewiz]

Here in US, a USED RAV4 goes for MORE than a NEW RAV4! Waiting 3mo for a vehicle is NOT FUN! Hey, if you would like a NEW RAM 2500, the dealers have a 480day supply.......NO WAITING!!!

[@CKY1942]

#1. GM, #2. Toyota, #3. Ford, #4. Hyundai-Kia 👏👏👏, #5. Stellantis, #6. Honda; USA sales rankings. Hyundai-Kia doubled sales in only 20 years. Only a few hundred thousand units behind Toyota. Hyundai-Kia will surpass Toyota within 3 years to become #2 in the USA!!

[@TheOzthewiz]

And their TOTAL LACK of quality control (quality, what's that? )! They are going for TOTAL QUANTITY control! I bet the FIRE EXTINGUISHER industry is going to be doubling employment, exponentially as KIA/HYUNDAI sales increase! LMFAO

[@MzGoddesswithin]

I wanted to purchase a Hyundai or Kia so bad but the whole theft and insurance issue made me change my mind. Sucks for for them because they were really moving up in the car industry

[@LiesThatBind]

Counting Kia and Hyundai as one is not a fair comparison. If you want to compare like that, compare to Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura etc...

[@ghosttownreview1531]

I've owned 3 minis. They run great until around 50,000 miles and are fantastic in the snow when they aren't in the shop. After 50K miles they need everything every time you open the hood. Opening the hood will cost you a minimum charge of $600 if it's a small fix. No oil change was ever just an oil change. There was always a long list of other items needing to be done and there was always a puddle of something under them. Timing chains. Water pumps. Oil leaks. More oil leaks 3 months after fixing the other oil leaks. Vacuum seal leaks. More vacuum seal leaks 2 months after fixing the last round. Check engine lights randomly on and off. Orange check engine light on every other week putting the car into limp mode making it feel like a 30 year old Corolla.

[@mauricioparra7726]

What a piece of crap 😅

[@Hiiiiii-k2z]

I agree that the taos is overpriced, but they are still good cars.

[@bonnienardell3961]

Thank Shari. I getting ready to buy a new automobile next week so I read this just in time. We are elderly and need a vehicle that’s easy to get into. Kinda leaning towards a Toyota. My jeep grand Cherokee is hard to get into

[@carhelpcorner]

The Toyota is a great vehicle. Excellent choice! 👌

I regret the Jeep Renegade and stay away from it. I am trading in for a Subaru!

[@simarjotdadiala7490]

Mazda, Honda, Toyota & Subaru to buy

[@ShibuDaniel-m8p]

Wagoneer- 2024 Jan we used a new one on rental for a week by the 6th day the infotainment was non-responsive and we could hear the sparking sound of a loose connection short circuit. Stay away...

[@dereklovelady1685]

What do you think of the newer model mazda put out the mazda cx50?

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

I avoid buying any SUVs 🙂

[@ruslanis]

Thank you for review! Absolutely agree with you!

[@stevennunez6013]

I work on a lot of police cars specifically a lot ford explorers they take a beating and yes they break but I would consider them more reliable then the average suv however I cannot say anything about the sync 3 and touch screen responses controls ect.

[@JackRusselMan]

The Ford 1.5 is no longer a 4 cylinder in 2020 they redesigned the engine and made it a 3 cylinder.

[@Chieftain357]

I hear the 3 banger is pretty solid. Has dual injection too.

[@migueljunger]

It’s funny to watch this video of you destroying Jeep Compass and Renegade and see that in my country, Brazil, they are always among the top selling SUVs. Of course we have to point the differences in specs, market positioning and social/economical realities of each country, but still interesting

[@TheOzthewiz]

Top selling quite often means NOTHING! Some of the TOP SELLING cars were the WORST cars! Examples: Chevy Chevette; Chevy Citation; Ford Pinto; Chevy Cavalier; Chevy Vega; Yugo etc.

[@LarryHopper]

Thanks for another great video, Shari. I suppose the people who buy these lousy cars value advertising more than research.

[@TheOzthewiz]

Without advertising how would you even know that a particular vehicle exists?

[@richardmorse5307]

Good video! We are considering buying a new CR V likely a 2024. I have a couple of reservations which are the 1.5 litre turbo with the oil dilution complaints and head gasket problems which are new to me. Are these items still an issue to your knowledge? Thank you!

[@martyi398]

I Would consider the Toyota Rav4 or the Mazda CX-5 or 50, these two have naturally aspirated engine options (instead of turbo) and traditional torque convertor transmission's (instead of CVT) with great consumer ratings!

[@paulshumway5880]

I traded my 2017 CRV in after one year because the oil dilution was so bad. What made me angry was that Honda wouldn’t admit they had a problem or stand behind their vehicle. In China they were required to buy all their vehicles back from consumers because of the faulty Earthdreams engine.

[@capiztirzo2724]

Man, its not just the price of the vehicle you like to buy to consider, you should also think of the vehicles cost of insurance. I am almost considering to buy either a brand new Honda Pilot or Toyota Grand Highlander. But I hesitated and ended up deciding not to buy after all. Why? Because of these “greedy, misleading, unscrupolous” insurance companies. I’ve been a client of this “popular” insurance company way back since 2019. I have 2 vehicles insured with them. One is a minivan, and the other is a 4 door sedan. I have good driving record, age 57 years old, have been driving since I was 26. No matter how good my record is, no matter how old and fully paid my both vehicles are, my insurance only give me a little bit of a discount everytime my policy is renewing (to be perfectly honest, they almost did’nt give any discount if I did’nt insisted to). I asked them why are they so “adamant” in giving me discount considering my good driving record and age. The insurance agent replied: “O, thats all we could give you, the cost of living is rising every year”. Then I said: “Well, the cost of living is rising, but my salary is not, my age is rising but I still maintained good driving record”. Few days later, I told the Honda and the Toyota salesman that sorry I decided not to buy after all. If either of you could convince my insurance agent to give me a better rate, then you could be sure I will buy the SUV.

[@PhilRMcGregor]

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.

[@alvd8511]

Terrain and Equinox are not compact SUVs. They are considered mid size. Most SUVs are overpriced. You keep repeating there are better options out there but never mention those alternatives. I would give at least one or two alternatives.

[@jeffreywilliams7553]

Great video don’t have one showcasing the best suvs you can buy
