Ram, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler...see a pattern here?

Heck, for the price of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, might as well get yourself Lexus RX350. You're definitely get an upgrade from being in a Standard SUV to Luxury SUV and 100% more reliability.

You should have simply bundled Chrysler, Dodge, Ram & Jeep. That would have made room for all the GM substandard products. Thank you for sharing!

All Chrysler products and still having transmission issues-- I owned 2 Plymouth acclaims in the 90's (budget reasons) and both had to have their transmissions replaced at about 50-60k miles. good to see consistency in an automaker--

When I think of Stallentis owners I think of people who enjoy fixing their own cars in the weekdays as well.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee was the worst vehicle I ever owned, totally unbelievable how almost everything on it was junk, even the wipers.

[oldebill]

Wow! All Stellantis, all the time. (With a guest appearance by older Tesla models.)

[KNRS]

Basically, Stellantis (Alfa Romeo was spared though) and Tesla.

Who would have thought that going into partnership with Fiat wouldn't help Chrysler's quality and reliability problems?! Fix it again, Tony!

[murrynathan]

The name of this video should be, “Don’t buy used vehicles made by the Chrysler corporation - And skip Tesla, too.”

[LionRunner]

Not surprised with Tesla as my friend already have Infotainment screen replaced on his brand new Tesla Model 3.

[electricman]

A friend is a mechanic at a Dodge dealership, and he says he's changed so many transmissions in new Wham trucks that he can do one in about an hour!

I wonder how much kia and Hyundai paid CR to not showcase their models randomly combusting

[KevinSatler]

What are the other 3 brands... jeep, ram, dodge, and Chrysler all are basically the same brand and share parts.

[Kopernicus]

Funny how the least reliable brands are charging the most outrageous prices for their vehicles. Dodge, Jeep, GM should be ashamed. While they focus on making 700 hp Jeeps, Toyota quietly makes reliable Camrys, Corollas, RAVs and Highlanders. While Asia and Europe have been making small, reliable engines for years and recently turbos, the BIg3 are still obsessed with old pushrod engines that are inefficient and increased mass that hinders performance, handling, braking and MPG.

And I find it funny when Dodge fans try to clown Ford and GM over quality

[kkiller]

Chrysler should have folded decades ago, and Stellantis needs to get rid of them immediately.

[yummy]

I had a 2014 Grand Cherokee and had absolutely no issue at all. It was my most problem free vehicle I've owned.

[cle_roknn]

So 10 year old cars have problems, shocker! Also not surprised it's all Stellantis and Tesla, one makes cheap cars for the masses, the other has followed the "cell phone" mentally of planned obsolescence with batteries being the real limiting factor. Also this does not tell the viewer where the surveyed owners were located, a car in the rust belt will never hold up as well as one in say Arizona, so a Chevy in Arizona will always have less issues that a Dodge in Detroit, that's not an equitable comparison and the video says nothing about it. One other thing: surveys like this are generally biased, who is more willing to fill out a survey a satisfied customer or someone who bought a bad used car and wants to complain? I'm not saying this is not decent information, but the devil is in the details and there are very few given here...

[hamsterbrigade]

They really should have just said Tesla and Stellantis so we could get 3 more manufacturers.
