6 Worst SUVs Only Stupid People Buy

rev up your engines today by popular demand I'm gonna talk about the six worse SUVs out there now yes SUVs are becoming more and more popular people buy many more SUVs than cars look at Ford they're giving up with their cars except for the Mustang and only selling SUVs and trucks but being popular the price of SUVs is gone sky-high so you don't want to spend all that money and get a pile a junk so today I'm gonna talk about six SUVs that you shouldn't walk away from you should have run away from them never even think about buying them number six on the list is a Nissan Rogue I had customers with those they got some mileage on them seventy eighty thousand miles they started to fall apart they're so bad than October there's a lawsuit against them for their emergency braking system it turns out that the emergency braking system that's supposed to save you breaks itself sometimes when you're going down a highway for no reason if people can smash right India just what you want to do own an SUV that gets you in an accident it's not avoiding it by putting on the brakes for no reason whatsoever and over all the vehicles are junky they lose about sixty percent of their value the first five years ownership so in this case hey Nissan gave it the right name the road 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 kind of realized their problems in 2005 they started making the original Equinox but they turned to digital crossover SUV they're calling the equinox so they're still out there but it's still falling apart they're known for excessive oil consumption I had a costumer with one that thing Burnt 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 up and if you don't have the oil of course the engine blows up it deteriorates the anti-pollution system that can cost thousands to fix down the line all in all not a good car our customers were the transmissions for now we're just typical with modern GM they don't make that good automatic transmissions anymore that's a super expensive fix that runs thousands and thousands of dollars these are on vehicles have less than a hundred thousand miles I'm not talking about something that's got three four hundred thousand miles and yeah things eventually wear out these things wear out before their time and just like seasons come and go the equinox I'd let it go I wouldn't get it in the first place, now number four in the list is the Dodge Journey was surprised now 2019 they discontinued some of the journey models and they were talking about hey many their gonna drop the Dodge Journey entirely but they're not a couple weeks ago notice that they put out talking about how great their 2020 Dodge Journey was in one of those PR brochures that they send out on the Internet to try to war people into buying them yeah give it to Dodge there's a lot of room inside they have all the creature comforts but unfortunately they don't hold up over time they get pretty crappy gas mileage and their resale value is horrendous now they're owned by Fiat another failing company so now you got two failing companies merging together what do you think they're gonna do come up with brilliant success after decades of failure I mean really one of the reasons Fiat bought Chrysler was to have all these crazier dealerships where they could sell their Fiats but now they're even talking about pulling Fiat out of the United States because their Fiat models sold so poorly in America that it doesn't make much sense to go through the trouble of trying to sell them when you only sell in a few of them and not really making any profit and the few customer of mine that did buy dodge journeys they were disappointed in the long run they liked them when they were new everything for the kids and you could fit a lot of people in them but as they age the new transmissions were out or their engine started burning oil or their electrical system started going haywire like a lot of late-model Chrysler's do they said I'm not buying another Dodge product so take advantage of my customers mistake and don't buy one of these dodge journeys now number three on my list of the worst six SUVs to buy the Volkswagen Tiguan not surprised either a Volkswagen product today in the United States although swaggin teague ones are powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission realized a long time ago volkswagen bought outtie and Porsche they took a lot of that complex technology and put it into Volkswagens who used to be a simple reliable car manufacturer with the old beetles things were cheap could run forever with very little maintenance that you could easily perform yourself we can forget that with this that turbocharged direct-injection engine notorious for having carbon buildup inside also had problems with the timing chains and attention errs that they'd break when they get a little over a hundred thousand miles and then those are interference engines so then the valves hit the Pistons and you got to put new heads on the engine it cost a fortune people junk them then if they got any serious mileage on and the dual clutch transmissions that are in them they are probably the worst thing that Volkswagen ever came up with I've seen those things go out and people spend five to seven thousand dollars having them replaced this high level of technologists in the Tiguan it bites you in the rear end if you keep him for anything like the time now don't be fooled by them let's say you go road test run it to dealer they are zippy fun to drive they handle quite well but they just don't hold up over time now let's say you want to zippy little SUV and you drive a thousand miles a year go ahead and buy one things generally not gonna break down then thousand miles a year thirty years you put on 30,000 miles you'd probably be running perfectly fine and of course they have horrendous resale value you'd get them cheap use but here we go again you don't want to use Volkswagen turbo use no number two on a list of SUVs not to buy is the BMW X series the x3 the x5 but especially the yaks three over the years I've had a few customers by BMW X series every single one of them turned into an endless money pit as they aged level technology and these things are insane special G sensors so they don't flip over because they're pretty high up in the air those systems break you could spend thousands of dollars fixing I'm their transmission systems here in the United States are all automatic they are insanely complex and yes they break all the time then cost a fortune to fix often it costs more to fix the transmission than the car is worth and being modern BMW as they're plagued with oil leaks the use all this plastic crap on the engine system and on the cooling system to which have a lot of plastic stuff that ages and crack and starts to leave and then it may be cheap plastic but it isn't cheap to buy or repair when it does break 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 six years old think whoo look at all the money I saved and yes you saved a lot of money over the original sticker price there's no arguing that if you keep one of those things for another three four years all those savings are gonna go right down the toilet in repairs let's face it if you're spending forty two thousand up for an SUV you expect quality and speaking of quality these extras here in the United States their not made in Germany their made the United States and South Carolina you're paying that kind of money for a German car at least myself I expect it to be made in Germany by Germans so if you value your SUV money stay away from BMW X3 now here's the moment you were waiting for the worst SUV to buy and what is it no surprise the Land Rover or to be specific the Jaguar Land Rover the company's not one company Jaguar Land Rover it used to be English but Tata the Indian company that makes those little cheap cars bottomed out a while ago then they start having problems losing money so now the Chinese own half of Jaguar Land Rover so you think the quality up making these new Chinese factories but now last month the Chinese were protesting at the Jaguar Land Rover factor about how poor the quality of their vehicles are rather ironic one there they were known for poor quality in England then the Indians bottom and the quality is still going bad and then the Chinese on half of them and the quality still going down but strangely enough at least here in the United States they sell a lot of these Land Rovers because they're sort of the in car for the yuppie crowd they all have to have one I remember a customer of mine he was buying one for his girlfriend he had a new girlfriend he was 50 she was twenty-something she just had to have a Landrover and when I hooked up my fancy scan tool I found like 27 different things wrong with it from the giant computer scan yeah these things are not dependable hey when the Chinese are protesting in China their headquarters in China about bad quality that gels in something and the warning about buying a used one because it's so much cheaper to save money is doubly so warning here because as they age they fall apart faster than probably any car out there buying a used one is an endless money pits I've had customers buy him they thought oh I only paid $8,000 from this vehicle then they find out it needs four thousand here five thousand here and over the years in my need forty thousand dollars worth of work so you're gonna go a roving in your SUV just make a point of not doing it in a Land Rover do it in something that's built a little bit better and yeah everybody loves their SUVs these days but you don't want to get stopped with a lemon so heed my warning and don't buy any of these six I just talked about, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell
