"if you put the top on wrong it leaks" really? id of never guessed

this video makes about zero sense

Love my Jeep, owned a 2002,and now my 2023 Willy’s. love it!! Regular maintenance and your good 2 go. Jeep for Life!👋

Very unbiased.. Perfect! A great review of a destroyed Jeep lol.

After daily driving JK since 2012 with almost no issues - I end up getting 4xe (my son still drives this JK). There is no logical explanation for it - but in the jeep I feel most comfortable, like everything just in place for me.

Mark, have a 2002 wrangler with a 4.0 5 speed. Love it!.Did have a rebuild after 271,000 miles. Also bought a 2017 wrangler sport. Love them both. True Jeep people are a devoted group, much like a family. One of the few group of people that will wave when you pass them. Much like bikers. Sure they have their flaws but what auto maker does not, even Toyota. Most people I talk to love their Jeeps. Their love is true.

I think the excellent resell is the whole point of getting a wrangler. I had a 2019 Rubicon which I only lost $5K after 3 years, then a 2022 4xe Sahara which I traded for another car with a lost of another $5K because of the $7500- tax credit. A BMW for the same price would probably be closer to $15,000 in depreciation.

Mark, as previously mentioned, the compound at my place of employment is the home to many Jeeps, the most vehicles of any car brand (200 employees) The owners are very cult like in their devotion, perplexing because they are always commiserating with each other over their endless breakdowns. Nevertheless, their love is absolute!

Just convinced me to buy a 2023 Rubicon Gladiator.

IMO, Jeep Wranglers really started to go downhill after the TJ (1997-2006) since they removed the 4.0 inline 6. After that, they started to try and make the Wranglers into family vehicles and make them really cheap.

This is the first video I've watched of yours and I gotta say you have next to no idea what you're talking about the whole time.

In Canada yes , what's cheap in Canada???? Go to USA price falls ridiculously, people can't even afford electricity bill on Canada

Best value vehicle out there. Standard too

Liston to this A Hole! Sounds like he’s talking about an ex girlfriend! 😂🤣

LOL...never heard of Insanely low depreciation as a reason to not buy a car

Jeep seems to hold value no matter how old it is. The late 90s early 2000s Cherokee go for a few thousand as well.

I might get a lot of hate for this but I am a Mopar/ Chrysler fan. I will say YES they do have issues. Not everyone has Toyota money and likes Toyota. I find if you buy a Chrysler product new maintain it and don’t abuse it they will last a reasonable amount of time IF you take care of it. If you look into a used Chrysler have it checked most people who buy these cars don’t take care of them and rag the hell out of it. Chrysler is a cheap car brand but they are average for reliability. I know many who have and had Chryslers. They’ve had issues but nothing to outrageous. Friends mom worked for Chrysler and bought a new Chrysler town and country had over 230k miles still ran great and everything was original it was a rust bucket living in the rust belt it ran great until it was rear ended totaling it.

Honestly after owning a dodge charger. I will never have any faith in any Chrysler product they make trash

I have always seen the Wrangler as a blank canvas where you upgrade it how you want it before you use it. I am not sure if there is any part on it where you cannot buy a better upgrade part aftermarket.

I am a proud owner of a 2020 ( Got brand new), Willys Package Jeep Wrangler that I got after owning a 2007 Wrangler for 12 years. The vehicle never had any issues, so I got a new one. The customer service is top-notch, and they take care of their customers. I agree that the Wrangler is expensive, and it should be more affordable.The vehicle is meant for one thing, and that is off-road; if you don't plan to do that or live in an area with lots of snow where a 4x4 is necessary, the cost will not make sense. I do live in an area where 4x4 is necessary, and I feel great in my Wrangler. There is nothing like a Wrangler.

Mark, another fantastic video. My wife has our family 2017 wrangler unlimited for 4 years now. We bought very luckily right before the super sky high prices. Wow man I can’t tell you how spot on you are. ( I am a 2013 bmw x5 n63 owner so I do know reliability) oil filter housing that fails immediately, upper oil pan gasket leaking, timing cover leaking, water leaks from the door seals and roofs. Door hinges rust and after you replace them just rinse and repeat every 2 years

As a Jeep Wrangler owner I can save I’ve experienced some of these issues, I bought a used one at 75k miles. After the first year my TIPM went out and an oil pressure sensor that was luckily covered under warranty. It also has leaky seals near the driver side door so whenever it rains I have a puddle water. After the second year at 100k miles my oil pressure sensor went out again and my power windows quit working as well as the running lights. Wranglers are a lot of fun but more issues than I’d like to deal with.

The price in Australia is also outrageous both for new and used !

I’ve had four of these. All manuals. All new. 4.0 YJ, 3.8 JK 2D, and 3.6 JTR. Never had an issue. The problem is buying them used after the previous owner put it through hell, cleaned it, and dumps it on you to deal with and blame Chrysler for every issue. The electrical issues on the JL can all be pretty much prevented by either ensuring your aux battery is healthy or doing a bypass and going with the genesis kit. The only thing I agree with you is their price is out of control. But that’s why all the good dealers offer extra deep discounts on these and Gladiators. No vehicle is going to withstand abuse and not charge you for it in some way or another down the road. And if you think the new 4Runner and Tacoma are going to outlast this, have a look at the tundra so you can see how Toyota’s turbocharged adventures are going.

I love Jeeps, but I agree that they aren’t designed to be daily drivers. My Jk Wrangler was purchased with it’s sole purpose being a toy. As far as being a fun vehicle to own, drive, customize, and modify a Jeep would be hard to beat. I live in the Deep South. Jeeps are very popular and in high demand here. Jeep ownership,at least in the Deep South, has become a status symbol. It’s common to see a Jeep Wrangler in the driveway of expensive homes in upper class neighborhoods. Jeeps are a common sight in high school parking lots too. Jeeps aren’t practical, but they are a lot of fun to own, drive, and customize. Jeep owners are part of a community of Jeep owners that acknowledge one another, with the famous “Jeep Wave”, when they meet each other on the road. Owning a Jeep means becoming part of a community.

This commercial brought to you by Toyota.😅

I rented a wrangler one time and it had a soft top. The soft top blew off because it couldn't latch securely. Luckily nobody got killed. I was never so glad to get rid of a rental in my life. It was misery to drive on the highway too.

I had a 2013 dodge charger SXT with 165k miles and only ever had a problem with the alternator being recalled and replaced for free. Other than that it lasted me 6 years before I finally traded it in. Sometimes I guess it’s luck of the draw and how well the driver takes care of it

I would rather have an FJ Cruiser than a jeep

So do you have a recommendation for something better? Im looking for 24mpg, high clearance, front & rear lockers. Thx

"I used to own a 2019 JLU Rubicon, but it had some serious steering issues, so I decided to trade it after two years of driving. Thankfully, I managed to trade it with just a minor loss of $5K for my pre-ordered a Ford Bronco which I didn't pay over msrp. Additionally, I bought a 2022 4xe Sahara, which drove incredibly well and smoothly just like many SUVs (No, not Lexus like). If off-roading isn't your thing, those 2023 models are still a fantastic value, especially since you can normally get them few K below MSRP, and if it's a 4xe, you save an extra $7500. Combining this with their good resale value, owning a Jeep with a warranty provides a unique driving experience. Personally, I tend to switch cars every few years, so I've learned the importance of choosing vehicles with strong resale value. This lesson became evident back in 2000 when I bought my second car, a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, which cost over $35,000 new but only fetched a little over $8K when I sold it in 2006."

2011 JKU zero issues, super fun, didn’t buy it for comfort or gas mileage

I hope this was meant for fun and giggles, because you did succeed in making me laugh. I do not believe all the negative stuff you said about the jeep though lol

You saying one of your argument is the price (you side with the buyer) and then next minute you say the car doesn’t depreciate (you side with the buyer again) bro that’s a positive point that the vehicle doesn’t depreciate

I have driven a Wrangler TJ as a daily driver since I bought one new in late 1996. It became a highly modified Wrangler TJ in 2001. Then it became and extremely modified Wrangler TJ in 2011. The RMS Stargazer now has 446,000 miles and climbing. She is still my daily driver and my adventure vehicle. Legacy Jeep died in 2006. Everything after that is just a shadow of what Jeep used to be. Some say legacy Jeep died in 1986. But the Wrangler YJ was designed by AMC. Thus, I can not agree with the 1986 year of legacy Jeep's demise. The Wrangler TJ was the last traditional Jeep, "Universal." It has lots of AMC designed parts. The Wrangler JK has absolutely no AMC originated parts at all.

So the lack of depreciation is a bad thing? Sure, Jan.

It’s very evident that you’re a Prius lover or a ladybug Toyota fanatic. I have my Jeep Jl Rubicon for almost 6 years and haven’t had any issues that you have mentioned. I fact I would buy another jeep again. I find them very practical and fun to drive. You won't be able to comprehend it until you're able to purchase and operate one yourself.

I dreamt of a new Rubicon just last summer until i rolled up on the dealers lot to find a $73k pricetag. Dream turned into reality fast as i left the dealer. 😂

Wtf u just cut the battery cable? Lmfao

2015 JKU with 110K km and the main issue was buying a battery and not knowing it had to be registered with the onboard computer. Causing electrical glitches in the main display and accessories shutting off. Otherwise, it's needed standard servicing, which costs far less than anything from Europe and most Asian cars. Engine is smooth and quiet at idle. Good pulling power. It's been great! Just don't get a Jeep to tow.

Clearly the fuel cost and price are a problem but I own a wrangler and I have zero issues with it and I own it now for 2 yrs, and bought it used. I highly disagree with your review.

I’m all for being critical of a manufacturer, but you just don’t get it. Modern Jeep as a manufacturer deserves some criticism for sure. However, it’s pretty clear you have never lived with a wrangler. Some of what you said wasn’t even true. The stuff that was true is because it’s a different kind of vehicle. It’s only analog is the new Ford Bronco. To your credit, I’ll say, when I was 15 years old, I was just like you. No way did I want a Jeep, I wanted a used RX7. I didn’t understand Jeeps back then either, but now I own 3 of them (2 wranglers) and have owned 8 Jeeps (7 wranglers) total over my driving life. I have driven some pretty amazing vehicles in my life, but I’ll never not own a wrangler. Granted they’re not for everyone, but I bet if you own one and really use it, you’ll see why they’re awesome (also, no reliability issues and I have owned at least one of each gen wrangler for 10 years at a time… my JL is currently 2.5 years into that 10 year test).

“Look you just have caps that pop off randomly” 😂🤣 Good stuff

lol. Yeah I hate it when my vehicle holds almost all of its value for 5 years after purchasing. And this damn top, I just keep putting it on wrong and now there’s water everywhere!! What will I do? Hopefully my hinges and mirrors last all the way to the dealership for this top dollar trade in on a new……jeep wrangler🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣

What company do you work for, GM, Ford, Toyota or what?

*Are they good on ⛽* It's either this or A 67 Lincoln Presidential

I worked at the Chrysler Electronics Plant in the USA that they closed in 2010 and moved all the Electronics to China & Mexico and that is when the Quality started to go down... and every time the company changes owners it suffers more..

Friend of my sister bought a used Wrangler for his son and on the way home with it a tie rod broke flipped killed the son Dad survived a while then died at the hospital

@ECPP: "...its ludacris." Ludacris be like, "yo, I heard my name. They called my nane on TV" 😂

I'll keep my Wrangler tj. '05 4.0 6 speed. Bought it 6(?) years ago with 65,xxx miles on it. With the mods that i have done to it ive got MAYBE $20,000 in it. That includes what i paid for it. (lift,bumpers,winch,tires and wheels, lights, ect.) Ive put it up against a Rubicon Wrangler, if i remember it was a 2021(?) and my Jeep did everything the rubi did. Iam ABSOLUTELY sure mine will still be in the road when these new "Jeeps" are heading to the scrap yard. Thank-You fiat engineering.

I'm up here in Canada...Just a couple of days ago, a purchased a brand new JLU Rubicon...(MSRP was about $82K plus 15% tax)...in Montreal, and was in the process of driving it home to New Brunswick, (through the state of Maine)...Half way there, on a minor, 2 lane highway, in the middle of Maine, I had to stop due to a railroad crossing signal... In order to save gas, I put the vehicle in park and shut off the engine...It wouldn't re-start, and road-side service wasn't able to help me...I was stuck, blocking my lane, for about 2.5 hours...Luckily, I found the Key FOB solution, on the internet, in which you physically use the Key FOB to push the starter switch/button, and it actually started... Now, my wife wants me to return the vehicle, to get our money back, but I don't think that's possible up here... Regardless of the outcome, I'll definitely be keeping my 2006 (owned since new) TJ Sport...

What do you suggest for a different choice????

For the last two months I have been watching most videos about buying a Wrangler Rubicon. However, the last week or so there were videos like this one, and Face Book forums about problems, but people still buy them and it looks cool. Now, the dream is over. I might keep my 2011 Grand Cherokee, I don't want problems. Thanks for the video.

plastic and again and again plastic

Thanks Mark for diagnosing the problem in my 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. The TIPM.

I've owned several 4x4s. The best Jeep was a 1954 M38-A1 Army jeep. I paid $600.00 for it.

And they are not very well made either, I have a couple friends that bought brand new ones the last few years and they have both been a pain in the ass back and forth for warranty repair

Product of Fiat Chrysler my friend… STEER CLEAR.

could you do e review on...Audi S5 Sportback 3.0 TFSI V6 S tronic

I buy a used 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport S 2door with the technology package in 2020 and I only paid $27k. It only had 21k miles. I did buy Rubicon take off wheels and tire for $800. I’ve had zero issues. I am very happy with it. I also own a 1990 Grand Wagoneer that is 98% restored. Just needs new interior carpet, and new tail pipe.

My coworker bought a Wrangler hybrid in 2021, paid almost $90K! I laughed and laughed and laughed...

The resale on these thing defy all logic though. I keep reading they are pretty much tops for it, so there is that. Not for me, but I sort of understand the appeal.

You got the 2 worsted quality auto companies out there and they merged together.. you understand the rest 🤣

I don’t know I have a 2017 and I haven’t had any issue at all yet. Other than the fuel mileage but that is obvious when you buying it. I’m super happy

I hade a 02 overland Cherokee with a 4.7 liter v8. The thing would climb a mountain side in the snow mud whatever just in all wheel drive not even putting it in 4 wheel options. Rarely experienced a vehicle with that good of off road capability comparable to a 4 runner or a Suzuki samari something of that nature. With that being say the junkiest electrical components ever! Sun roof stuck open, electric windows stuck down, fuel pump, fuses going out constantly,air bag sensors. I mean an electrical nightmare. Looks like things haven't changed with Chrysler over the years still can climb a mountain but junk electrical issues. I doubt i buy one again and its just sad because the thing was a tank

One word: Stellantis‼️

Such a shame. Chrysler used to mean something back in the day. Although they have been going down hill for years. Surly, they can't expect fo fool everybody all the time? They are putting out a cheap product. Poor designs and cheap plastic parts had cost them to lose their Plymouth division. Not only that but to merge worth Fiat? Total crap from overseas (Fix It Again Tony) They still hadn't learned thier lesson when the Japanese had kicked thier butt back in the 1970's. It's one thing to put out models with a Japanese look and another to not improve the overall quality of the car. God help them if they end up as another AMC or Pontiac.

As a current jeep Owner, I am loving my 2017 Jeep sure I had one major leak oil and it got fixed she runs well. Sure I spent money to fix her but that's what happens to all cars from wear and tear. I drive my Jeep constantly as a home health nurse. I don't see any issues with my Jeep I do recommend to buy a used one and go from 2017 and down, the more newer models do come with some issues. I only owe 24K as of today and left the lot at 42K so yeah not bad and gas is not that expensive for me to fill her up. I Love my JEEP!!!

can you review kia seltos and kia sorento pleaseeeeeeeeeee

Simple - don't buy new cars, they are depreciating assets. Buy one that has already devalued and then spend the savings on building it the way you want.

I DO NOT understand how these things hold their value. They're unreliable, rolling dumpster fires. The only rational reason for me would be to lease one for 3 years, before all the problems start popping up.

The 2014 was pretty good except for the oil cooler housing that melts😂 Hopefully wranglers have good after market stuff to fix their issues. The 2018 on rust either galvanic on the aluminum side or cheaper on the frame metal used, my 2014 looks still like new underneath.

recently traded in my 2013 for $4500 less than I paid for it new.

i cant tell if he is serious or joking.

As much as I cherished my 1998 Jeep Wrangler, adorned with Ford F150 axles, a robust drive shaft, a lift kit, and more, selling it 6 years ago for only $5000-despite it being worth over $10,000 and having just around 30,000 miles on it-was a decision clouded by my growing disillusionment with the brand. Years ago, I saw the Wrangler as an entry-level, basic vehicle; simple yet capable. However, my perspective has dramatically shifted due to the mounting concerns over quality and the exorbitant costs associated with newer models. The issues plaguing Jeep Wranglers over the years are well-documented and diverse, ranging from serious safety hazards like the infamous "Death Wobble" to more mundane, yet equally frustrating, problems such as transmission glitches and airbag system faults. The "Death Wobble," a terrifying steering issue causing excessive shaking, isn't just a rare anomaly; it's a well-known defect affecting various models, hinting at a deeper quality control problem. Moreover, transmission problems have been a recurring theme, with some models struggling to stay in "park" and others lacking essential warning systems for overheating transmission fluid-a critical oversight that can lead to dangerous situations. The airbag systems haven't been spared either, with numerous recalls over the years addressing issues ranging from explosive inflators to faulty sensors. Noise and comfort, or the lack thereof, inside the Wrangler's cabin have only added to my growing list of concerns. Reports from fellow owners about persistent and baffling popping noises only exacerbate the feeling that the Wrangler's rugged exterior masks an underwhelming and sometimes problematic interior. One owner's experience with a 2022 model-where a troubling noise remained unresolved despite dealership interventions-mirrors the type of quality and service issues that have led me to rethink my loyalty to the brand. Comparing the Jeep Wrangler to other off-road vehicles in its class and price range only deepens my disappointment. Many competitors offer quieter cabins, smoother rides, and more reliable performance without the Wrangler's notorious problems. The gap between the Wrangler's iconic status and its real-world performance seems to widen with each new model year, leaving enthusiasts like me caught between our affection for what the Wrangler represents and the reality of its shortcomings. Reflecting on the journey with my 1998 Wrangler, it's clear that the allure of owning another Jeep fades in the face of these challenges. The Wrangler's evolution from a simple, dependable off-roader to a vehicle marred by quality issues and inflated prices is a trajectory that I, regrettably, find myself wanting to disembark from. The spirit of adventure that once defined the Wrangler experience now seems overshadowed by the prospect of dealing with noise, discomfort, and reliability issues that detract from its legendary capabilities.

You talk about Wranglers and Gladiators like they are a fashion accessory like a BMW, Lexus, or other gadget filled vehicle. My wife and I have bought several new vehicles this century. Most have been Ram trucks. I bought a '23 JLU Sport S Altitude back in August. Runs great, and gets decent fuel economy. 18mpg around town, 28mpg on the highway. It cost $49k, it is the most expensive vehicle that we have ever bought. But the prices have increased dramatically on all brands in the past 4 years. I have an old '96 ZJ, project vehicle. That one is for the more challeging off roading for now. I may spend another $40-50k over the next 5 years toget the true vehicle I want. But Wranglers and Gladiators are unique vehicles. And most people adapt them to their liking for off roading in their chosen environment. The Bronco might be a good vehicle in 4 or 5 years. But for now, the Jeep makes a good errand and adventure vehicle.

at 5:54 "You have caps that pop of randomly".. Dude, after that accident it doesnt look "random" to me. 😅

i know you are trying to make a point, but im wondering if you are just being comical...showing a fluid leak under a head on collision

In 6 yrs, MSRP on Wranglers has increased by 48.6%. No thanks. I re-priced my 2018 JK and the 2024 JL would be $58,000+. It's comical

You're paying about $82K plus tax, for a Rubicon X, up here in Canada...

I can do bigger and better things with that kind of money.

Bought a 2 dr JK sport ragtop in 2015, manual everything..Looked after it, it's been a good vehicle. The Wrangler should have never become a luxury vehicle.

A lot of new cars are failing.

Hey genius!!!! Any solid axle vehicle with solid axle can get death wobble. Ford Chevy dodge jeep

New ones are 🗑️ I had a 99 Jeep XJ with the 4.0/AW4 transmission that lasted well over 300k miles before I sold it

I know some people who do go off-roading with jeeps, but a lot of Jeepsters use the Wrangler to make a macho statement. For the amount of money spent on a Rubicon, I’d absolutely prefer a Toyota 4 Runner.

They squeak alot over bumps, sounds really raggedy, especially when you put lifts and bigger tires. I HATE vehicles that squeak and rattle

I'll keep my 2010 FJ Cruiser till I die...100% reliable and climbs like a billy goat...😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

Wranglers are never be cheap. I will take a Wrangler over any crappy BMW or Toyota. Its a Jeep thing, I'm not sure you're going to be able to understand.

you can all thank the ceo of volov coming over to destroy the line.....

I have a small list of real issues I could give you with my 21 Wrangler Sahara Altitude 6speed manual trans, the issues you brought up really are not as concerning. It depends if you understand what you are buying. Fluid leaks don't seem to be an issue, the caps popping off isn't a thing, the one you pointed to on the wrecked jeep is for the washer fluid, being it got smashed in an accident that would be normal. The material used now is steel, aluminum and magnesium. aluminum is used for the doors however in a large collision all the panels are gonna be trashed whether they are thick steel or not. As for the death wobble, that has been an issue with 4x4s for years, between track bars, drag links, sway bar links, stabilizers, control arms and all the ends, these things need checked and maintained regularly and that goes for any 4x4, they are not for everyone, go buy a Subaru if you don't want maintenance. Here are a few things I do find unacceptable, considering the cost. 1. The clutch plate recall from three years ago has yet to be remedied...not even a replacement part available, temp fix was the program they installed to turn down torque from the engine to the clutch/trans...wtf, who wants a turned down Jeep Wrangler. 2. Corrosion/blistering on doors and hinges, prob due to aluminum not being prepped correctly. absolutely WTF 3. Uconnect system sucks, issues with climate control module having a delay upon start up. electrical components/updates might be the issue. either way wtf

Lol the sarcasm is strong with this one 😂

Ya in Toronto Canada a Jeep Rubicon X with tax is about 100k ? Full lots and still only a 5k factory discount at best. Pathetic from the manufacturer to the dealers. I guess they don't care if they sell ?

Great presentation. The 2015 wrangler has lots of problems. The roof leaks, random oil leaks, poor quality parts.

My friend has a 2012 jeep wrangler has over 50,000 miles and there's already a hole under the driver side door. I will say if you want a good jeep buy one before 2007 from a non salt area.

How do you rate this Jeep compared to the Ford ‘Exploder’ you so thoroughly eviscerated recently? Asking for a friend.

Just bought a 07 wrangler 3.8L engine. I'll never buy a pentastar engine. My 3.7L powerstroke 08 grand cherokee had 210,000 miles and still going!

It took me nearly to the end before I realized it was satire. LOL

Yeah, but can it handle winter?

Well my coworkers just bought one. But not likely they will listen to me anyways.
