I know you are Chevy person and I was Chevy but I not anymore. My 2017 Silverado is on its 3 set of door actuators. I have spent over $1000 of my money. Chevy replaced the original door actuators with same deflected door actuator and they have gone out now. I have replace the second set with a new replacement part and those door actuators are going out now. I only have 51300 miles one the truck. I will never buy Chevy again. And all manufacturers have problems but Chevy is now built just good enough to pass warranty. I have more problems with defective parts they build them with cheap parts so have to but the replacement part to. I have spent in total over $5000 fixing stuff that should not have be fixed yet.

I was leary of the Renegade when my friend got one. It's the 2.4 with the 6 speed not the CVT like the Patriot has. The A/C compressor grenaded at 48,000 was covered for the $150 deductible. No other problems. Even for awd the tires don't fight and wear or give bad gas mileage. It is quiet unless you have the back windows only cracked open, that makes a freight train noise. It will out accelerate any other car from an intersection that I need to get infront of. I don't need to get in front of a Hemi Charger launching off the line at a light change.

As someone in the business of cars and finance, I don’t think it’d be possible to narrow the list to 5. I don’t think I could narrow it to 20…

Most warranties are bogo warranties ! Paid $1900.00 for my last bogo warranty, 4 claims and 4 excuses why not one item was covered! Shout out to Mcclusky Chevrolet in Cincinnati for that warranty and a junk car! Thanks Keith Mcclusky!

I agree with you Mike. As I stated before, my 2017 Kia Optima 2.0 GDI Turbo engine that started to smoke when I started it up in the mornings. The last oil change, I noticed a creamy yellow color oil when I did the oil change. I flushed the engine and filled it with synthetic oil as per the user's manual. The smoking continued. I also noticed soot around the tail pipes. I was having to add oil to the engine every other day. Took it down and the car had 18 miles left before it went off warranty. They changed the oil again and noted that the oil had a slightly creamy color again. They wanted to do an oil consumption test which I agreed to do but when they handed me back the form for the warranty service there wasn't any mention about the soot nor the color of the oil. I did not accept the receipt until they noted the mileage and the current issues with the car and the three-day window that they slated the test period. I took it back on the third day and the mechanic said that the head gasket was blown, and they found metal in the oil pan. They put me into a loaner car and put a new engine in the car. A month later the car started to smoke again. Beings that the car was now off warranty they said I would have to pay over $3k just for the engine and another $1,500 in labor to replace the engine. From day one, I had steering issues as if the front end was out of alignment. That was attributed to someone who test drove, before I bought the car and had struck the curb hard enough to bend some front-end parts. (That was accidently supplied to me via the service department when I asked for the service history of the car.) Thank goodness I had records of the front-end complaints and combined engine issues. I contacted our State Attorney General who went to bat for me. They threatened to sue Kia Motors and within three weeks my loan through Kia Finance was paid in full and received a check from KIA, enough to cover a down payment for another car.

We have a used 2015 Cherokee and have loved it. 123000 miles and no issues.

I own a 2015 Chevy traverse and bought used from a used car lot with a warranty. Shortly there after it had multiple issues. Bushings, control arms, mounts, rack/pinion all gone bad. Then in the last month the transmission had shifting issues. Although I love this car, each vehicles reliability depends on how much the car was taken care of from a previous owner. But each car has its own issues.

The transmission issues are mainly from trying to squeeze as much mpg out of them as possible and at the same time make them cheap as possible while also pairing them with a turbo that puts stress on them.

I have a 2009 Jeep Patriot. Bought it used for $3000 2 years ago with 100,000 miles. It now has 120,000 on it. Just had the trans serviced for $250. Other than normal maintenance, it's actually been a good car. I guess I got lucky

I have a 12 year old Altima with a CVT and have never had any problems. I believe the main reason these transmissions go out early is that people aren't changing the CVT fluid and filter every 30,000 miles. I always have and my 12 year old Nissan CVT runs perfectly.

Dodge/Jeep sold to lots of lower credit people because they had base models aka Journey,Renegade,Patriot and Compass until a few years ago brand new were under $22,000...They have a wild variety of trim and option levels more so than most other companies! Higher trim levels were more expensive 40k or more..Lots of those lower trim models went to rental car agencies and that's where in the used car land they have issues, a 1 owner is generally trouble free! Journey 3rd row is good for people who occasionally need to use the 3rd row,like a 2nd car or once a month you have to carpool your kids friends to a sporting event..Nonetheless,Durango is better..Remember the Journey replaced the short version Caravan the older version until 2007..

Agree with you on the transmissions. A lot of it is the CVT transmissions. Even though it is 15-20 year technology until recent emmission standards they never cared much to develop them. Now that they have to use them for the MPGs, they are working on developing them. It's just a transission period in the transmissions. Once they all get them figured out they will be stable. But the Nissan's and Kia's were never known to be good.

Great information. Thanks for your time and effort.

We had a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. By 75K miles, the CVT was acting up, interior plastic pieces kept breaking (interior door handles, sun visors, air vents, etc), and 3 radiator fans. By the time we traded it off, we had almost as much in repairs as what we traded it for. Traded it for a 2016 Buick Enclave 3.6L, currently at 105K miles and aside from one sensor, it has had zero problems.

As a car dealer for over 25 years I can't understand how you left off any Chevrolet product with Ecotec engine. They all have timing chain issues. Equinox, Cruze, Terrain, etc. Horrible vehicles. The Hyundai/Kia product is light years ahead of these

Thank you for this informative video!

Thanks for the great information. :)

New subscriber here. Thanks for all of your information here. I have actually looked at used Hyundai's and this post was very helpful. Thanks, again!

Ive had 3 kias an 1 Hyundai. All were excellent to over 100.000 miles, none ever required any warranty work. In fact my 17 Elantra turned 100.000 miles 2 weeks ago. 0 repairs, 0 issues. Engine and transmission still performing just like new. I should state I only buy brand new, and maintain my vehicles VERY WELL.

My wife and I have owned our 2018 Cherokee trailhawk since we drove it off the lot brand new. That has been the most reliable vehicle we've had.

car wizard listed the GMC Trevose Class because to change the Engine timing belt you need to pull the engine out. I am going on what he said and he has done some. It is a major repair.

I wouldn't own a Chevy passenger car as I had a 2011 Malibu had the " reduced engine power" issue then it would start and shut off . I traded it in and found out the new owner had a timing chain issue cost them $1100 to repair. Plus I had a 2012 Impala 3.6 as the diagnostic system fails to tell you when your battery is bad which caused transmission issues I robbing the tcm of voltage intermittently. I replaced the battery after it tested bad and no more trans issues drove it another 37k miles.

My Journey has 164k miles on it my parents got it at 20k miles but i agree with alot of the problems you listed. And those repairs get pricey especially the fact that my Catalytic converter is going bad

Very helpful information.

Thanks for the video.

the main issue I find with newer 6 speed auto's or CVT transmissions is the owners don't get the transmissions serviced because they are told not to by the manufacturer. Modern transmissions really need a regular fluid service, I just had my 6 speed auto serviced after 60k and the difference is very noticeable.

Had a new Jeep Cherokee in 91 and it went forever with little repairs. Wish you could get the same today, the 4wd worked very well.

CHEVY DUDE! I was wondering if you can make a video explaining the best time to buy a vehicle!

Thanks for sharing

Had a 2017 Dodge Journey and loved it. Never had an issue. Was very nice riding and quiet.

We just bought a 2014 Santa Fe Sport with the GDI and 87,000 miles. Hopefully we don't have these issues anytime soon.

My Dodge has over 300,000 miles on it and it is still running fine never rebuilt motor or transmission

My 2014 Kia optima is currently in the service center for the second time for the engine first time they replaced it this time I have been without a car for two weeks now with no approval for repairs as of yet😢I was surprised to see you say Kia optima and confirm my on going issues

Good informative video!

I bought a 2009 dodge journey with 90,000 miles on it. Drove it for 7 years it was a good car. It did get premature break wear. The heat on the passenger side wasn't that good but other than that no complaints. It had 190,000 on when i got rid of it. Still ran didnt even use oil. I could haul 4x8 sheets of plywood in the back.

Bought a hyundai accent (cheap) 14 years ago, paid off 10 years ago, still my daily driver.

Also, in my opinion just like any car. It depends on how you use and maintain your vehicle. I had no problems with my 2019 cherokee. I also get recommendations maintenance done in a timely fashion. & usually with Jeeps if you off road often and lots of Work done. That’s when I noticed problems with other’s vechicles.

Another informative video! The previous Compass & Patriot were based on the Caliber. That was one lousy vehicle. A neighbor bought a used one I do not know what year, but I can see rust eating through the lower rocker panels. I wonder if in a future video you will be mentioning not to buy those 3-cylinder turbo charged GM vehicles.

Great list. All those problems are dead on accurate. I am surprised you don't have a sixth choice - the Subaru CVT. The throttle body on the CVT goes on many of the cars at 80,000 miles, which is a $900 repair. Then at 150,000 miles or in about 10 years, the CVT just goes dead and needs to be replaced which means you are getting a new car (transmissions go for as much as $9000 new, or remanufactured which no one recommends is about half of that).

I’d gladly buy a car that’s 20 years old, 200,000 miles and with a service history before I buy a new car with a warranty!

Hi Mike, love your videos! I have learned a lot in just the few that I watched since discovering your channel. Can you give me some advice - Im in the market for a Camaro ss 1LE. Msrp is 48500 ish. Minus Chevy incentives, what is a fair price to pay in todays market? Id appreciate any advice or feedback! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My FNI Mgr never came in saying they regretted owning an extended warranty when car crapped out.

Hey Mike, make a video of the top 5 cars that you recommend buying.!

I’m not sure about the journey we’ve had two and a few people i know have them. They have been great little suvs. Lots of family vacation trips made in ours with no issues. We now have a Durango and love that also

I own a 2019 Dodge Journey. I like it. I can attest the transmission went out at 38,000 miles totally uncalled for but whatcha going to do? the dealer fixed it no questions. Other than that I haven’t had any issues with it. It’s got about 50,000 on it now. So you would think it would not have issues but that’s cars for you. BUILT TO SELL NOT BUILT TO LAST. The 3rd row is tight but it comes in handy when I had all 7 seats taken up. I bought it brand new. wish me luck everybody. Lol I hope it lasts. I do take excellent good care of my cars so I hope me staying on top of maintenance will save me a lot of grief. Only time will tell.

Have 2 Nissans with the CVT transmissions. One with 85k and the other with 120k miles. No problems, both bought new, but you MUST change the fluid every 40k or you will regret it. Easy to do yourself. I use Castrol CVT fluid. Lot cheaper than Nissan fluid from the dealer, and is as good or better.

Can not believe the Ram ECO diesel did not make this list. Horrible design.

I have a Jeep Cherokee Limited from 2015. Not a single problem after 80,000kms. (From Vancouver Canada)

we knew 3 with issues on Kias, we saw one lately that smoke was pouring out of and my friend ran over and the owner says Yep and its a week old engine and they say nothing wrong. despite the smoke filling the shop. My friend said park out front with a sign on it ask me about Kias.. Jeep with the 4.7 and 5.7's has a driveshaft issue, Its $1500 to buy one and NO alternates. One Mercedes with issues were those low end suv;s they came out with and the 190's. People with barely enough money to get the oil change would take the vehicle in and be told the bill is $5000 and up for any repair, so owners would walk away from the vehicle

Amen brother - amen!

You forgot the Chevy traverse with a six speed auto! Someone’s a bit biased Just poking fun at yah 🤣

Thanks for the great information. We want to buy a retirement car but with all these cars coming out now not worth buying we decided to wait. We will continue researching and watching your videos. Again Thanks 👍

I have a 2014 Hyundai azera limited with 98 thousand mile and I have had no issues at all I have put battery at 7 years and brakes and tires it runs great

Hi I really enjoy your videos I can feel the pain LOL the end of this video you talked about everyone should buy an extended warranty I think for the normal person that buys a car from a dealer that would probably be a very good idea however all extended warranties are not created equal and some extended warranties simply don't cover near what you think they're going to cover and with some of these cars with these very extensive engine and transmission issues sometimes nothing is covered so would you please review car warranty companies I know there's one called cars cars that I believe is a good Extended Warranty company however I've heard that there is considerable claim issues with other extended warranty so would you mind doing a review for people that are following your information because just because you buy an extended warranty doesn't mean that you're out of the woods if you know what I mean I myself go to the Salvage pool after gathering information and buy a very lightly damaged nice car I try to buy Honda and Toyota if they're affordable and repair them and then drive them for about 6 months and resell them

I know everyone says avoid Nissans with the CVT, but you sure see a lot of old Altimas on the road. Like 10-20 year old ones that look like they've had a very hard life, but keep chugging along (usually driven by someone who acts like they have nothing to lose).

I bought a 2017 Skoda. Fabia. Dsg. Auto. I’ve had it three years. And have it properly serviced at the right time it needs it and by the main dealer. I pay extra every year for all major component warranty just incase I have any gearbox problems but so far nothing has ever let me down and no signs of any rust. Anywhere

My local tv station in the American Midwest says that some insurance companies are refusing to write up auto insurance policies for Kias and Hyundais any more after it was revealed online how easy it is to steal vehicles that are those car brands.

I'm a firm believer in extended warranties but shop around. And if you have a problem make sure its covered.

Great video, my sister bought a Hyundai and at 105k the engine went out. She bought it from carmax and the Hyundai replaced the engine. This was last year. So they do have engines but I still would not buy one.

I grew up in a time extended warranty was a joke. Not now. Never lost money on extended warranty regardless of manufacturer

The worst vehicle I ever owned was a 2006 Chevy 2500 with a Duramax. At 61k miles driving on I40, there was some sort of catastrophic failure under the hood and it caught fire instantly, the entire truck burned and I got my kids out just in time. Actually filed a lawsuit against Chevy and won over that truck. The second worse vehicle I have ever drove was a 2011 Chevy Equinox that was my company car. We had to get rid of it after 2 years because it had over $7k woth of repairs in 18 months and lived in the shop, but only had 68k miles. Because of those two experiences, I stay far away from Chevy now. The only two vehicles that have ever left me stranded in 22 years of driving were both Chevys. And no they were not driver errors, both vehicles were very well cared for and driven normally. All brands have issues. Just buy what you want and fix it when it breaks.

CVT’s try replacing the crank sensor for $40. When this sensor goes bad even transmission shops believe the transmission is bad

Hey Chevy Dude, do you mind if I ask you where you buy your tennis shoes, particularly in that blue color? Thx

Mumbling the legal disclaimers has been and continues to be a standard feature of tv commercials for decades. The trend is so persistent that Saturday Night Live did a sketch on the subject years ago featuring a product liability lawyer talking to ad agency executives. The lawyer was saying something like "The bad news is that you are legally required to mention information contained in federal law that this company passionately disagrees with. We propose the way to just barely comply with this law is to mumble the information so that it is not easily understandable."

Ok as for the Jeeps on your list, you need to add those that only come with the 2.5 4 cyl NA engines can be noisy when pushed hard, with gritty feeling through out the rpm range, with little power. But the Jeep Cherokee is available with a smooth and relatively powerful 3.2 liter V6, that’s a version of the 3.6, with a smaller bore that’s designed for better economy, that actually comes close to the NA 4 cyl. However in later years Jeep now offers a small 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 turbocharged engines that produce decent hp and tq. I know this first hand after buying a 2016 Cherokee Latitude 4x4, V6, new, that was a very nice drive on the highway and local roads, plus blasting down the beaches. That the 2.5 4 cyl I test drove was noisy and gutless.

As far the Escape, mostly 2013-2019 had transmission issues.. Currently have parts on order for my own Escape lol. 2-3 bump shift and torque converter failure. The jelly bean Escapes don't have as many issues. And the coolant intrusion has extended coverage for some years of the Escape.

Friends mom had a jeep cherokee. They paid 5k for extended warranty when they bought itm the car is 60k and has been through three transmissions and 2 major electrical issues. Parents bought a rogue and trans went out at 38k miles.

Mainly a rust belt issue, brand doesn't matter. Lots of cars in the Carolinas no matter how old with little rust. Cars along the seashore area can rust because of the salty air.

Can you make a video about this but with performance vehicles? Like maybe used Hellcats, Zl1s, Corvettes, things like that

My daughter bought car shield bumper to bumper coverage for an extended warranty. When she had an issue with it and took it to the dealer not only does she have to pay $100 deductible for car shield but the dealer tacked on another $130 fee that was not covered by car shield. Car shield stated the shop just didn’t think they were making enough money on the deal so they tacked on the other $130 so you also have to be careful about the extended warranty.

The Ford focus has a known transmission issue too.

I wish I had known this earlier about Kia. Me and my wife just bought our first car and it's a Kia Optima.

I've had Nissans and Chryslers, won't have another one,cvt, horrible, Chrysler 300 c34000 miles when I bought it in 29000 miles over 5000 dollar of repairs,traded for Lexus es 350,great car

FYI The Nissan SUV with CVT can be problem free but require transmission service every 30K, the issue with CVT is from what I have seen lack of maintenance the fluid gets to hot and kills the transmission.

I've owned a renegade and it was a good car plenty of power with the 2.4 in it never had any warranty work on it and it quiet threaded it in at 120.000 on a new compass I've owned alout of Chrysler products over tears

Anything with a cvt transmission should be avoided. 22 chevy 1500 with 5.3 engine. Any electric vehicle because of fire,well noted during floods and quick depreciation.

VIDEO IDEA....maybe go thru the extended warranty companies that you do offer to people since some are far better than others.

My 2017 Nissan Sentra has near 120,000 miles on it and the only issue I've had with it is the AC compressor going out. The CVT has had no issues. I just had the fluid and coolant replaced just last week for the 4th time. Even at the dealership they are shocked it's still running.

Agree with all mentioned although I would buy a Hyundai Kia before a Chevy,,, on Toyota or Lexus for reliability!!!

Hyaundai put me through the ringer to use "The worlds best warranty" took a good 6 months overall 2 of which we had to cover our own rental fees. I love the Looks and features but with all the issues I had on my 2018 and now my 2022 I wouldn't recommend them if you main reason for choosing is the warranty

A little information on the Toyota with a transmission issue most of the shudder issues can be solved by having the dealer wipe the transmission learning software especially the new 8 speed transmissions. They had early failures 2017-2018, but got the problems fixed and they are pretty reliable now. We had a shudder and had them wipe the memory and have had zero issues and have put 40k miles on it since the memory wipe. The problems arise more when more than 2 people drive it. Easy fix if you have that problem:P

All automatic transmission will shutt a little on low speeds when the clutches engage. Even my new car does that. My old honda had geared transmission no clutches shuttered too always on low speeds

3.6 gm stay far away

I like the 2010 Camaro 2SS you currently have 😊

So, most cars in the tri-state area? CVT'S are not made for mountain driving (unless you have the set/hold gear option)

I would add the 2014- 2018 GM half ton pick ups. Horrible tucks!!

I actually know people that Kia is fighting for both engine and transmission issues.

You mentioned slow how about the 2.7 engine in the Silverado joke and now that's the one they put in the Colorado..

Who do you recommend for an extended warranty

I had a renegade and got shot of it because of the type of engine,drank oil even the service people for Jeep told me those vehicles are junk that you mentioned

Well I have a 2001 Saturn sl1 have had it for 8 years a very good car

Purchased a 2010 Jeep Compass brand new back in the day...drove it up to 56K and without warning (and after a state inspection just two weeks prior) the stability control light comes on, and within 100 yards, the right front wheel...the entire wheel...drops out of the side of the car. The dealership later claims that the ball joint was bad, but again, after an inspection that said that everything was fine, they point to the ball joint, which usually lasts up to 100K before needing to be replaced. In the time that I owned it, I had to replace the suspension, but otherwise, it lasted until 150K miles when I traded it in for another car. So now necessarily the best car, but I didn't have transmission or engine issues. Oh...and the A/C compressor died after six years of relatively minor usage. So I'd agree, Jeeps have really lost their shine in the last decade or so.

My friend has a 2021 Ford escape hybrid… should he be worried about the transmission on it as well?

My 2011 sonata limited had the GDi engine and after 9 years we had an engine replaced.

The Escape and Fusions are effected with the coolant intrusion issue and its not a head gasket problem it is a block design flaw that Ford knew about and later re-designed nice and sneaky and quiet about doing it Shhhh! Anyway the engines that do not have the re-designed block will have the issue multiple times unless the block is replaced with the updated block. Great list I agree stay away from these vehicles they may look nice and have a cheap price tag that will tempt you, but do not do it! You will spend all that money you thought you saved and some down the road. That is why I buy Toyotas and Hondas. Might be a tad more up-front, but Man O" Man do I save money long term and get highest resale and trade in values!

What about genesis should I buy 2015 used 104, thousand miles haven't heard anything yet what you think 🤔

Might not be most owners, but my family put over 200,000 on a 2019 jeep Cherokee in a year, no problems. As in putting that many miles on it over some years, I’m not too sure about the longevity of the plastic parts on the engine.

My 2011 Rouge's transmission went up and the transmission guy told me that there's a problem with those

Jeeps always had a bad rap...But the rest? Wow! TY
