There is one common thread through most of these failures. Manufacturers attempting to deal with more strict fuel economy and emissions standards. Low displacement turbo engines, low tension piston rings, CVT transmissions and complex electronics. The technology hasn't caught up with the regulations.
Honda 1.5 turbo. Specifically 2018 CR-V - Oil dilution, no heat, the smell of gasoline in the cabin. What's not to like?
It seems like every car company was like this in the 80s and 90s then they all got it all sorted in the early 2000s only for it all to go to shit again
I say early 90s....bought my first new car in 1976....Honda Civic😅
Interesting that the suburban made the list. Our company has 105 GM 5.3/6.6 V8’s from 2019-2024 in our fleet. We’ve replaced one engine, and it failed when an oil cooler line blew out. I keep a close eye on costs and frequency of repairs as I’m the fleet manager.
AFM delete or disable modules simply plug in for these vehicles. Cost around $50. They cause all the lifters inside the engine to behave normally - essentially keeping your V8 engine a V8. I got one for my 'Burb. I don't know how, but I'm somehow now getting 2.1 MPG better mileage with mine. I originally got it to avoid engine problems, but the increase in MPG was a most welcome surprise!
I refuse to buy a car with a turbo. Not only does a turbo require more fuel to run, they're expensive to replace and reduce the lifespan of the engine.
I totally agree with you.
The only reason why we have them in Europe are old laws that make all the cars with more than 2000 ccm prohibitively expensive to register. God Bless American (Ford and Toyota) atmospheric 2.5L engines
I concur turbocharged vehicles generally don't last, or won't last long without major/costly repairs.
I've been an auto-tech for 30 years now.
If a shoddily built 4 cylinder gets boost on the regular, it's bound to blow eventually.
I have seen plain, lower powered cars last way over 600,000kms without ever opening up the engine. Ie: scores of vehicles with the 1.8 4 cylinder in small Toyota cars like the Corolla, and many Nissan, Mazda, Honda and even domestic cars with naturally aspirated engines can last an incredibly long time.
I'm still waiting to see a Ford v6 turbo with over 300,000kms on it without any problems...
Or just look at the Chevy Cruze 1.4... oh my....
Get your wallet out!
Sorry ,you got bad info. Just bought another turbo. So far 6 owned all good. A well maintained or new turbo fuel mpg is in proportion to your right foot. Adds power when needed, sips fuel if you lay off it,change oil and filters religiously lost one to rust devil at almost 200K miles. Never use oil between changes ,always 30 mpg plus except Pt Cruiser turbo ltd mid 20,s. Heavy little bugger.
Okay. It is pretty hard to find an economical vehicle without one
Yea I’ll stick with Honda and Toyota 😁‼️
Beware of hondas new 1.5t engines blowing headgaskets. Technically statistically, mazdas more reliable than honda. But Toyota, Mazda and Honda are still the holy Trinity of reliability.
Non turbo ones
Ok you stick while we can go with any reliable car
@@greathey1234 most turbo Hondas are good
Exactly
You guys do know that engine"knock" and engine "tick" are two completely different things, right?
Knock is when the concussion occurs when the piston is on the compression stroke, also known as pre-ignition.
Ticking is from lack of proper lubrication, or low oil pressure.
Yeah I’m saving gas. Oops my engine crapped the bed.
I will stick with my 24 year old tundra 4.7L v8 250,000 miles on the clock and only use a 1/4 of a quart of oil between oil changes
Our 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 4Xe is a wonderful car and 4x4, when it works. In and out of the shop, three months waiting on parts with no car, the typical Stellantis touchscreen failures, and most recently a battery recall on the e-torque system. Never again.
@@dcxplant thats your fault, mechanics have been warning people for years and nobody listens, Did you buy a new KIA right afterwards? Or a Ford 2.7 Ecoboost? 🤣
British cars are considered senior citizens if they go 40k. A Japanese car gets its first oil change then. Go figure! Trav knows his way around under the hood, huh.
Haha well said!
Damned Limeys!!
What British cars?
180k and don't even need brake pads yet on a Toyota. 😂
Nonsense. You write like a driver imbued with envy. I have owned 2 new Range Rovers each for 3 years and about 60k miles; faultless. A new Discovery is now 30 years old, and l still have it. My current car is a 5 year old Velar; again faultless. Go figure
Subaru ej255 belongs in this list. It's the halo motor of the American Subaru's but this motor has issues with ring)and failure engine runs lean. .
Not a single Ford mentioned! POS 1000cc turbocharged engine fails at 35k miles, destroying itself. Replaced with new engine which failed again at 35k miles!
Honda or Toyota , neither are perfect but are the less problematic 😛
I don't pay much attention to Consumer reports, i pretty much buy what i like.
Lol,I will keep my 2011 honda accord euro luxury that has a bullet proof k-24 engine and 6 speed manual transmission. 261,000 kilometres on the odometer and it runs as good as the day it rolled off the factory floor. Most cars made after 2012 are garbage,the manufacturers made poor design decisions and putting profit ahead of reliability and quality and now the consumer is getting scammed with cheaply manufactured unreliable vehicles.
Sorry, but consumer reports is a paid publication and it is not as thorough as some might believe there’s not a single Ford Ecoboost on the list OK one of the least reliable engines out there
Don't car makers test these engines before selling them? I don't understand it
That Buick Encore. Which engine are you talking about? The Port Injected one made 130 odd horsepower while the DI engine made 155 horsepower.
"Into the thousands". 1-999,000. Love the video but if you'd give a bit closer for cost that would make it so much better! Like the audi... the engine itself is around 12k where I'm at. But the chevy engine could potentially be repai repaired for around 3k.
Does it also include the Tahoe or just the suburban? Do they share engine?
Yes same powertrain
Yes they do.
That's the problem with this video. It singles out a particular year and model. Most drivetrains are used multiple years and in a few models. It might make sense for the 2018 Pacifica because that was the first year for the hybrid and newer ones have improved but most of these seem randomly picked.
My kia rio 2016 188000 miles and running on restore and protect. It is quiet and occasionally run it up to 80. Very smooth. 3000 mile oil changes. It's been serviced good. Unusual i believe because of oil changes at 3000 miles. My dad was air force and hated if we misplaced one tool from his box. I was a machinist for 10 -11 years so I respect precision. Wish maybe for a honda, but I take care of what I have.
2012 needs a rebuild!
If it was a 2021 it would mean something.
12 years of being driven by morons, isn’t proof the engine is crap.
Apart from cylinder deactivation stupidity, most problems are with incorrect and trash fuel standards and incorrect engine oil being used.
I’m sooo happy I avoided buying a 2018 challenger knowing what I know now about the Hemi engine issues. I know of 5 people who had their Hemi die on them well before 100k miles. One of the guys JUST made it within the warranty and got their engine replaced for free 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸✊🏿
That 3 cylinder Ecotec engine GM puts in the new Trailblazer 1.3 turbo crap!
Never had these problems until they were built to Washington DC designes.
Kia Theta engines...
25 million recalls since 2010
Volvo 240 forevah! I crashed mine hard last year and had to scrap it. I miss that cranky old bitch...
My Jeep 2015 Sahara Unlimited was the best year. Mine is all orange like a tangerine on wheels❤
The Buick and Chevrolet 1.3 turbocharged engines are absolute crap!
All these vehicles are absolute rubbish Kias Hyundai's VWs one Subaru that Buick which actually comes from South Korea along with Kia and Hyundai does South Korea know how to build a decent car no they are all rubbish
2014 Sante Fe has the relatively reliable v-6 - Sante Fe SPORT has inline 4cyl you are referring to.
I’d NEVER buy a turbo, eco type hot burning engine, especially with plastic parts. Only buy naturally aspirated ICEs. But I prefer Full Hybrids with eCVT tranny and Atkinson Cycle ICE mated. They come in Ford and Toyota hybrids, at least before… now they may be turbos too 🥺🥺
I can't believe all of the piston-ring failures.
C'mon, guys! Y'all been making internal combustion engines since the early 1900's or so! How is it that you can't do it any more?
Maybe if you deleted all the bells and whistle crap on the new cars, knock about $30,000 off of the cost to build (which is mostly stuff that people don't really want or need, then split the savings between the customer while making the cars more reliable, then maybe you won't be staring down the barrel of bankruptcy!
The main theme in all these engine problems is lack of maintenance or incorrect maintenance. If you do it yourself and know how to do it correctly you should not have issues.
I agree entirely.
I don’t think you can make a blanket statement like that. There is a TH-cam channel which features Audi engine repairs and the design of those engines is poor it best. Timing chain issues at 50,000 miles is not that uncommon. These engines pulled apart do not have any sludge in them whatsoever.
Displacement on demand = active fuel management = Cadillac V8-6-4. Looks like after trying it for decades, GM still hasn't gotten a grip on the technology.
How was Ford 1.5l 4cyl leakoboost not on this list?
2019 chevy Cruise
Modern cars engines are built cheap with too much plastic parts and too many electronics
Less reliable then rotary?
Correction. 2012 to 2018 Audi A6 3.0t
We drive almost daily interstates add some city driving to that,also RV for many miles 3-4 times yearly. That said we see NO cars being towed. Any brand. We see auto transports,clowns out of gas(red can give them away) if you carry a can I ain’t transporting a fool. We do see Semi-Trucks down ,hood up,tire truck doing service,etc. Do all these crap car engines make it to the shop on their own? Where are all the BAD cars parked these articles continue to inform us of ? Just spent 2 days in a Mega-Dealer 5 Brands , fighting over a used car. The service area (Huge) was doing mostly oil changes and other menial services. No crates of engines good or bad out back we checked. Just sayin. p.S. New car windows show up to 10K$ off. Still stupid Hi buck.
Pity that Stelantis dropped the slant 6. That engine was bulletproof.
Had to get rid of Subaru Forester with 40 k km ….
What year?
Buick Grandland X😂😂😂😂😂
Heck, I thought Subaru made some of the best cars
Tell that to all the owners who motors took a dump so 60,000!
Ford 1.0 ecoboost
Why does GM still use pushrods?
@@robertolsen2467 2JZ
Read up on the Chevy pushed small block. They have produced over 100 million since 1955 - in over a dozen iterations. The most sought engine by tuners, and racers. Cheap to build & they run nearly forever [ Think: Honda]. I had 2 & my late father had 3 or 4 in Buick & Cadillac. My 24' Stingray is my 3rd. Absolutely love em'
pushrod v8 is compact
@@djhrjeiwhri that’s pretty much the only thing it has going for it. I’d rather have a high reving dual overhead cam engine.
