6 Worst SUVs Only Stupid People Buy - YouTube

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
