You Won't Believe Why Americans Are Ditching Jeep!

[@javaqueen1111]

I LOVE my jeep but the new jeep prices are OUTRAGEOUS

[@leonardoatx3]

… and it’s all crap

[@richardbeckmann6720]

Ending the 4.0 engine was the end of Jeep.

[@leonardoatx3]

YES!!!!!!!

[@metaldemon60]

I am on my fifth Jeep. My older Jeeps were good. I bought a brand new Jeep Wrangler in 2012. It has been full of electronic issues on things I didn't want to begin with. I didn't want any of the nanny systems ( ABS, Roll Mitigation, Traction Control, Cruise Control). I did buy a 1999 Cherokee to back it up, and even with 226,000 miles it is more reliable. I would never buy any newer vehicle now. I don't want the electronics, or electric vehicle. I will buy an old vehicle for a couple thousand, and put a couple thousand more to have a better vehicle. Since I can do my own work, it just makes sense. I could really care less about MPG, or emissions.

[@richh1576]

Totally agree ... Now, change the oil with HIGH QUALITY oil .... at 2/3 the recommended interval if most of your driving is 'steady-state' long distances at 'highway speeds'; or, at HALF the recommended interval if most of your driving is mostly short distances / 'stop & go' driving. Consider to occasionally use (expensive) Valvoline's "Restore and Protect" oil to remove the oil sludge and 'deposits', etc. from most of the engine internals .... especially for most engines that were made with LOOSE PISTON RINGS ... on just about any engine that was designed (~2015 onwards) to meet the politically "pie-in-the-sky" mandated newer fuel economy standards. Changing the oil often is one hell of a lot LESS EXPENSIVE than a 'too soon' new vehicle, or constant 'early' engine replacement, .... as *astoundingly, MANY* of the new vehicles cannot last more than 50-80K miles !!!!!

[@CXensation]

It has become way too expensive with lots of recalls looming - from experience.

[@rogerrussell9544]

1) prices 2) powertrains nobody wants 3) cheap components killing reliability.

[@bradroberts6447]

Facts!

[@fred-w6p]

Two reasons: 1 Low quality and 2 high prices.

[@dwightburess3791]

Corperate building junk no quality no relibilit high. Prices..greed killing jeep..pure greed.

[@leonardoatx3]

Stupid rule the planet

[@charlesguzman3452]

They went away from the regular folks and try to turn the brand into a luxury brand something they are not. They producing vehicles with cheap products and to much technology that when it breaks it will cost you a ‘arm & a leg’ to fix. The clientele they want isn’t there.

[@jimelliott2805]

people wont a clutch and no electronics and the price is to high. the ones like in the 1970.

[@MnCz75]

Build a vehicle that is reliable and trouble free for at least 150K and reasonably priced and they won’t be able to build enough of them.

[@leonardoatx3]

Uraaaa

[@rickyarmstrong9267]

Because of the high cost of labor repairs i fill i don't need them plus the very low quality of the new vehicle

[@vincentenriquez-ny4gz]

No one is telling consumers truth. Keep, originally AMC. Then Chrysler bought AMC back in the 80s. Chrysler went bankrupted so government help them pulled them out of bankruptcy. Chrysler again went bankrupted so Mercedes Benz bought them till around 2016/7. However, Fiat of Italian motor in conjunction with Selintis motors purchased Chrysler motors. Now jeeps are all Fiat motors, Italian motor company that does not produce very dependable engines.

[@DavidWooldridge-d4f]

Build a vehicle that’s NOT a luxury model, NOT 10-20% marked up, and people will buy. Overpriced to begin with, then Stelantis greed just priced themselves out of the market.

[@markedwards768]

Not only does jeep suck. But you can't get parts for them. Once they break down (and they will) they become yard gnomes.

[@tamborineman000]

This is karma... Stellantis disrespected it's customers on sooo many levels that people have walked away... Never take your customers for granted and treat them as poorly as these greedy corporations have done 👋👋 Now German brands are next!

[@leonardoatx3]

European brands are all crap now no exceptions

[@rickyarmstrong9267]

At the price of new vehicle you can not get your money worth they are made to fail

[@rickyarmstrong9267]

The newer vehicles engines are designed so you can not repair them your self and will cost dearly in labor cost to get repairs done i do not like that

[@mikerose6600]

too expensive for the value

[@Grekos13]

Why is the Jeep and a bronco worth over $60,000? Blame the dealers too, trying to gouge on all these vehicles.

[@NicholasANappiNick]

Simple answer PRICE PRICE PRICE I forgot Poor quality 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@robertreisner6119]

My 1982 CJ-7 4x4 is alot better than the modern Jeep product lines.

[@johndunning9]

Jeep merged with a company called Stellantis. It's marketing stragity was to cater to the high-end automotive clients at any cost. So, it used the good name to market high priced junk. We see this in many US products that went into global organizations.

[@GOV66]

My neighbor has a 2018 wrangler Sahara and was waiting on warranty repair for corrosion. The warranty expired while waiting and now the repair went from free to $3000 even though she filed while under warranty and was on the waiting list at the dealers body shop.

[@antoniodagostino2291]

When Americans are turning to import brands from Japan for a reliable vehicle over the big 3 American brands 1of which is now owned by a European company, that's really saying something about us as a car manufacturer

[@Grekos13]

The bronco is overpriced too

[@BillPringle]

Jeep has forgotten to listen to it's main customers, keep it as a 4x4 rugged vehicle instead of making it into a commuting vehicle for the city. Off road is off road. And yes the price has jumped way to high with all of the extras put into it to make it more like a luxury vehicle rather than off road. New CEO will hopefully get back on track. By the way, I had a Jeep Liberty for 18 years and now own a Wrangler 4xe which I full love

[@GarySmythe]

Jeep needs more reliable electronics and less complicated power trains.

[@halffast1850]

I've been wanting to buy a jeep and I tried when I got my last truck and recently tried trading for one but still over charging for jeeps and trade offers were not great. Offered me 4k under blue book and then complemented how clean and nice and then said don't worry about it, it will roll over into the.new loan and said he would give me 1k off sticker price and Offered a tax credit. The funny part is before i drove there i talked with them. Told them my vin sent pictures of a dirty truck and trade offer was 2.5k better, i told them carvana offered more than that so they told me bring it in and we may can give you better deal lol was a way worse deal and in person the truck was washed vacuumed and cleaned, i asked why and they said because it's a 4 cylinder and I said you knew that before I brought it here. Anyways deal wasn't made. I plan trying again this spring and if I can't get a deal maybe I'll buy a bronco

[@ChrisWise-t8g]

I had a 1965 Jeep Willys I wish I still had it. It was built like a tank

[@edtam268]

Jeep should go back to basic car, with a way the avg person able to work on, don’t need all the electronic and Jeep has lost sight

[@MagaTBTF]

Hand on the 8k trucks are coming!

[@moogmike01]

The prices are crazy for anything. I work in the Automotive industry and I will say quality in all vehicles stinks, tons of recalls for all manufacturers, which I bet a big reason is all these junk chips we all get from China. But prices is the major thing and quality is definitely the next.

[@rickyarmstrong9267]

They may not have the good straight six

[@michaeldevore6862]

They need to build Jeeps like the XJ Cherokees of 80' and 90's.. They were some of the best made. If I wanted an overpriced luxury vehicle, I would buy an Explorer.

[@oldguysrule-iv7sh]

If jeep goes down the EV path it will be over for the company, it’s cold outside as I watched this video and my friends that bought EV’s are complaining how they are not able to keep the charge high as during the summer, make them rugged and reliable or close the doors

[@Grekos13]

Part are the Unions that are overpricing the Vehicles

[@TheGalaye]

😢 I don’t see them in electric car doing it , mostly because of price!! It’s now too expensive…. So with going electric it will only be more ! I don’t see them offering a 2 door electric in 40k to be competitive! That the only way they can compete with big bend of bronco going electric probably soon

[@Grekos13]

Jeeps aren’t worth 70.000.00

[@1sobenes1]

Purchased 2021 trail hawks transfer case went out at 36k Wife won’t even get on the xpressway she drives slow

[@davevillon812]

Parts so expensive! Dealers ripoff always! Bad quality? $140k Jeep no way ! If I buy 2 Jeep is $280k I preferred to buy a house! 🎉😢😊

[@Brucebudd1]

It is because they are junk!

[@SamfromSparta]

I remember when the jeep was the fastest SUV on the planet… now you can’t even get an SRT, never mind Trackhawk.

[@leonardoatx3]

People want “shit” that is RELIABLE !!!!!!!

[@joe5431]

Jeep needs to stop outsourcing and build everything there.

[@camaro02girl]

There junk

[@Seaward1224]

Let Stellantis be the poster child to the rest of the car makers! Greed equals failure!

[@srb5776]

Good video, for me. Jeep has gotten away from what made them so desirable for me personally. Simplicity, reliability no unnecessary extras at a good price. They focused on trying to appeal to everybody now and now they appeal to nobody. They went from legendary reliability to legendarily unreliable. Prices has skyrocketed and that's all to Stellantis. TJ. Was the last good model. Yeah, I want to own a legendary piece of American history that's no longer owned by an American company or manufactured in the United States (sarcasm) inline 6. AMC ❤ legendary Jeep is a legendary piece of American history that should be treated as such. It's literally won wars and provided Americans with an inexpensive way to travel that was reliable. In my opinion, Jeep is up there with legendary American presidents or generals and should be celebrated as much

[@dan7163]

Jeep is the absolute worst vehicle ever made. Total garbage

[@atombomb6719]

Slow down pumpkin 🎃- i don't agree with that. Owned an FJ Cruiser and 2 4Runners. My 2021 Jeep Wrangler 6-speed can absolutely hold its own. It's reliable and fun to drive. This is from a Toyota fan.

[@larrys9879]

I’m on my third Jeep. No major problems with any of them, but my son had lots of electrical problem with his 2019 JL

[@danielbryant8185]

Too expensive !

[@patrickchubey3127]

An electric Jeep? So what do you do when you run out of juice in the middle of nowhere, plug it into the nearest tree .... or carry a GASOLINE powered generator? Nope.

[@No1spcl]

Price-reliability- now just made for 20 something soccer moms 😂

[@philliprose415]

If you build quality vehicles they will sell,most modern vehicles are crap from day one,until you change that and lower prices enjoy your bankrupcy!

[@joe5431]

Pricing to High!

[@bryancarlson3673]

Electrification LOLOLOL!!!!

[@jamesahoffman]

Jeep is trying to sale vechickes over $30k more than they are worth, and americans don't have that cash to burnon overpriced garbage!

[@EllisJl1]

Need to go back to a V8, Price, the metal bends by barely touching it, noise

[@chriswashington5440]

Jeep turned junk

[@patmcmahon2121]

Woke jeeps turn in the we build junk barrel

[@sr-5568]

Teaming up with Fiat was the downfall of jeep. Jeep plus Fiat parts equals junk.

[@richh1576]

Stellantis violated the time-honored engineering principals of KISS - "Keep it simple, stupid". Electronic control? ... how many of your older desktop or laptop computers still 'work' ????; .... and THEN, (for ALL new vehicles) there is the so-called federal fuel economy mandates that led to LOOSE PISTON RINGS - whose 'benefits' are "carbon fouled & stuck piston rings" - that quickly destroy the cylinder walls, AND diluted engine lube oil *viscosity* (and fairly rapid engine bearing destruction - guaranteed) due to all that combustion gas 'blowing-by' those stuck loose piston rings .... all leading to very short in-service life engine & severe degradation of 'reliability'. Not only Jeep; but, MOST ALL new vehicles (world-wide since >2010) are having these problems. Am enjoying my still RELIABLE '02 Jeep Liberty with 250,000++ miles, ... now with a new **'precision remanufactured'** engine ... although many of the usual repair parts are becoming difficult to obtain. My wallet and bank account, thank me.

[@Grekos13]

Money overpriced

[@leonardoatx3]

Electrified cars are crap and the “efficient” cars are full of crap and therefore are all totally unreliable and very expensive

[@shangrilaladeda]

Raise the wages

[@Jasona1976]

Jeeps owned by elderly jock wannabes

[@evan2674]

Newer jeeps are garbage. Way overpriced, overly unreliable and have became cliche. Get back to the ole school reliability.

[@lostvlog6857]

100 grand for a POS Wagoneer? Really?

[@Antonio-v8y5j]

They want gold for crap. 😂😂😂.

[@Grekos13]

The bronco is overpriced too
