Jeep Chrystler was in the bottom 5 in reliability before Fiat bought them. Fiat is even worse. Why would you buy a car made by 2 failed auto makers? I would never buy another product from Dodge as long as I live.
I bought a new jeep wrangler sport in 2001, i had it less than 2 years and the differential was going out and the instruments were freaking out with the needles going all over the place. When I took it in for warranty work they told me lies all the while knowing there were TSB's out for those issues. I got it repaired and quickly sold it and will never buy another Jeep product
@BillyBlaze7 I have been a car guy since I was wee small. Grew up building with my dad. Jeep, as long as I can remember, has always had a poor rear diff. The metal is very soft, and they always strip out. The best thing to do is upgrade to a Dana 44 or a Ford 9 inch. They last forever. I had a 76 scout 2 with 300 plus k all original everything it had the Dana front and rear.
@BillyBlaze7 I agree, but that has always been the downside of the wrangler and the Cherokee. Oil consumption and leaks on the i6 were bad at times as well, but overall, that is a very good motor. You made a wise choice moving on. I did the same. I owned a chrystler product, and my wife had a dodge. I am a fool me ounce person, so I swore them off for life. It just seems like they are always cutting corners, and even when they have a strong engine, the trans sucks or vice versa. They just can't seem to build reliable stuff consistently. I have had many ford's as work trucks and a couple of GM work vehicles, and I have never had a single issue with any of them. So that's what I stick with, plus Toyota, you can't go wrong. Overall, great vehicles. Actually, Toyota, Honda, Ford, and GM are your top 4 most reliable brands on the road. They have the most vehicles with over 200k miles still in operation.
@@1sinister80 Yeah I used to be an old muscle car guy (im old), about 18 years ago or so I discovered Miata's, I have owned 4 of them, 3 of which were the 1999 NB models including my current one. I can easily work on them, they can be set up to have more power than the car can put to the ground and still control it, they handle better than almost anything on the road etc etc. My last miata was a national SCCA Autocross champion car. I won't drive anything else now.
Usually, on youtube, you can find how to fix certain things with your car but not with the Jeep platforms its like they keep all the issues about the new platforms a secret
Great video and solid information. Sadly these are made horrible.
@TKsGarage Brother, Ive been lustin for one of those things since the concept dropped.. I won't touch one now..
I'm shocked, a chrysler/ Stellantis or whoever owns them has huge problems, wow!!

I just got mine this January and 8 months 5k miles later I am getting in contact with a lemon law attorney.

I drove one for a month…amazing
Wow, so you had zero issues? If so, that's good to hear. I was starting to think it was all of them.

Yeah, the WL is a whole different animal. The tech will eventually come out as they get older.
First posting guy didn't ask the engine size, he asked if the engine siezed. Got stuck. Stopped turning forever.
Lifting the entire body to get to the motor is horrible.
and expensive!
Are all these mostly model year 2022?
@@ebenezerc42 Im seeing the same major problems from all years of the Wagoneer platform
