I am union and I approve this message. If you have a loan through Chevy, Dodge or Ford your payments should be forgiven when your ride is stuck in the shop for weeks and months on end.
@Clamjammer most union blindly support the union. I do quality repairs and I see the overall lackadaisical approach to quality in production, mainly management because they want those numbers out, which is what Jason was talking about. Sooooo I support what he is saying.
I had a 2020 f15o . 5.0 engine consumed a lot of oil . Got it new . Went in for the 3k first oil change and before going the oil didn’t read on the dip stick . Ford acknowledged it needed an engine . I had the truck 2 years and the engine never came , apparently I was on a list . Traded it in and probably will not buy a ford for a while . 🤷♂️. Note - I was able to keep driving the truck but would stop at the dealer and have them top it off about every 2 months . Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth
This video makes me remember the good old days in the80s and 90s go to dealer for parts and there would be racks after racks of parts anything you needed would be there.
Nobody on TH-cam is more passionate and opinionated about all this stuff than you Jason. That’s why I watch as many of your videos as I can. Cheers from Canada.
Agree 100%, manufacturers should remember that if you don’t give your customers what they want, then they will go elsewhere to get it including another manufacturer. They should hang signs all over the place in manufacturer plants and productions lines that read “I did not wake up today to be mediocre & I will not be labeled as a mediocre employee and put out a poor quality product”. They should pay employees on the quality of their work not the quantity.
Archangel - How about if people just go to work and DO A QUALITY JOB. There paid a wage. Yet they want more n more. If they don’t like there job then F-off and go somewhere else. Moral of the story is, Your paid a wage n benefits. Care and do quality work or get fired. But unions tend to keep these non caring people that F up to many times.
Last brand-new truck I bought was a 1993 Ford F-150 XLT. Loved it and ran the dog out of that thing. Just did regular maintenance on it, no issues for 15 years.
I had that issue with my new 2021 jeep wrangler 4xe where the fuel pump went after only having the jeep 5 months and it took 9 weeks to get a new fuel pump. When i got the jeep back, i got rid of it.
You are on point, I lave how passionate, honest and genuine you are with these videos. Not to mention the informative content you bring to the table. We’ve never seen quality issues like we are seeing right now… we need to get back to a time where the product is first and making profit is second
100% Correct!!!! For the high price & low quality, that's the reason me and my friends are keeping our old trucks! (05 Ram 2500, 94 Chevy 1500 & 96 2500).
I love your videos sir you say what everyone else is thinking and saying amongst friends. Thank God someone like you has a forum to speak on for the every day person. Keep up the good work!!
Let’s be honest, the manufactures have not made a vehicle to be driven forever. Even back in the late 90’s early 2000’s we have had trucks from all manufactures have their issue. Toyota and rusting frames, new turbo V6 issues in the Tundra and transmission issues with the Tacomas. Fords would spit out their sparks plugs, rust issues and diesel motor issues. Chevy with cylinder deactivation issues, rust, electrical issues. Nissan had terrible issues with the diesel Titan and some older Frontiers had transmission issues with coolant mixing with tranny fluid and they had a recall on a park paw issue with the new Frontier back in ‘22. So in short, all manufactures are not out to make a truck last. But it needs to last enough to offset the cost of the vehicle. The other issue is where the manufacturer gets their parts from. Most go with the lowest bidder for the job or part. This is a bean counting thing. Always has been.
Yes, you're one of the only other TH-cam rs who genuinely care and give good advice. People like TRD Jon and Brenner are the worst and how they use their platforms to push crap
Now I'm gonna keep an eye out on mine. Got a 23 trail boss 7k miles. My first issue was the lifting the hood up and the plastic valence came apart around the wipers. I took self tapping screws to it to keep in place. No room for the arms to go up without popping the valance out of place. Just a heads up.
@@rippnraptor540 Just a heads up…..There is a replacement bulletin for the wiper valances. Had mine replaced under warranty (23 Z71). New ones have held together fine and are out of a different more flexible material.
Here in Aus Jeep dealer said been waiting 2 yrs for ABS modules? So now I've got a 4 wheel paper weight and wonder why sales have gone south since 2012.
Yea I don't understand how so many people are still running out and paying these absurd prices for all this absurd junk. It just goes to show no matter how greedy or corrupt the rich CEO is, the manufacturers, or politicians, or whoever we want to blame....the general public is just as much to blame. The greatest power we have is with our wallets, and too many people are showing all the higher ups that they'll just keep throwing their money at worse and worse crap and never put their foot down and do anything about it.
Earlier I have spoken to somebody about the quality of these necessary things called vehicles that we need to run our lives & how things have changed & we hope something drastic doesn’t happen because if it does, lives can be possibly flipped. Others have spoken about of what you said as well but you put things into perspective when you say it with your style. That’s why I enjoy your show because you lay it down. Corporations & government knew this before they decided to throw all of this nonsense problems to customers. So we know where the problem lies. It’s these companies & the government. They only care about their quality. They do not care about ours, & since the government is kind-of for the people by allowing these companies toss scraps, the people need to (like you say) lemon law everything these companies bring us. We know what quality these companies can bring because they have done so in the past.
I bought a 2022 jeep gladiator with a missing part, the dealer told me it’ll be here in no time, after two years it’s not here. Now they told me it’s been discontinued and nothing they can do about it. The end, they won’t talk to me anymore.
If the dealer screwed me like that for 2 years I would be furious if they told me that. I would get you yourself a good lawyer and sue them. Time and stress is not worth it. You should be compensated for that.
@@leaddawg4983 set an example. Let the lawyer deal with all that. If it's a good case then lawyer won't charge you anything until your compensated. That's pretty much with any lawsuit that you have in this country. They will collect in the end. Maybe you could be the one to set an example to the car manufacturers. l open up a class action lawsuit against stupid nonsense like this. If people don't do these kind of things then this stuff will continue on. And if this dealer loses the case let them go after the money that they lost through stellantis. They can get on them to compensate for their loss which was the manufacturers fault in the first place.
Amen. Had to wait three months for a part for my 23 Z71 Colorado. Dealer said it was on back order..I said walk out to the assembly line and grab one. They were still being built every day. Luckily I could still drive it otherwise I would have dumped it. All brands stink these days. Well said Jason!
Jason, how can you have quality control when the car companies don’t even make their own pats? Old Henry made every part at his own plants and they had quality by using his own machines and inspection departments. The old companies created quality parts and didn’t rely on foreign suppliers to make anything for their vehicles. Look at all the divisions that don’t exist now. Philco, AC Delco and Mopar all were synonymous with quality parts and now all we get it junk that just won’t last.
Spot on! I'm currently on 3 weeks waiting on a power steering rack on my 2024 colorado trail boss. GM can't give me an ETA for the part. In a trail blazer rental. Making payments and getting screwed.
SKI DONT haha good stuff J! Snowmobile industry, RV industry, trailer industry...just a mess for quality. Auto industry wont feel any pain unless big pain (bankruptcy...and allow a competitor that have never been allowed into US market before)...China will threaten the crap out of the Legacy Auto car manufactures and as soon as they get some traction in US market the legacy car manufactures will be forced to improve quality or they will lose all market share.
I'm not usually for government intervention in much, but I'd be okay with it in this situation. We as consumers pay our hard earned money for these vehicles, and there is no reason that we should be making payments on something we can't even use. I'm a big believer in the old Ronald Reagan quote, "the nine scariest words are, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." But in this situation, I think it could work.
My wife was watching this video last night, and came up with the best fix yet. Make the dealer or manufacturer pay the monthly payment on the vehicle as long as it sits there. You will have your vehicle back in 3-7 days guaranteed.
Right. It hasn't happened to me yet, but my day could be coming too. That's a big take-a-way from this message. We are all in this boat with nearly new trucks, one way or the other.
The problem government owes the automobile companies, I had a 2018 jeep wrangler JL that I loved Jan 2024 I had the brakes lock up for a bad brake module go out and it was 200 miles out of warranty I was shut down by 12 dealership in the us. They said the part was under redesigned and was unable to get it. For 5-6 months not parts available and no recall for this safety part that stops my jeep this is bull crap. I clear the code by unplugging the battery to get it home. I had 23 Jeeps with no problems in the last 28 years. Dealership don’t want to stock parts because of overhead is shit. Quality control changed the standards and ranges to allow shit to go out the door. But okay by the government. 6 months to get the part and 1 hour to change part. Luckily I had a 2002 Toyota car to drive that has 189,000 miles on it with no problems that I bought new
You exactly correct on everything you stated but unfortunately it’s not just the automotive, it’s becoming everything. It’s all about make it with cheaper materials but with higher prices. No one cares about the customer anymore. It comes down to greed and it will not get any better unfortunately. Thanks for you videos
Someone should add on to this saying all the parts for replacement are all cheap Chinese parts. Why do OEM parts have to be 3 times more expensive for what reason?
Jason, your very Best video. I own a 2019 4Runner and there is no way I will buy a new vehicle with all the crap being built today. I am considering buying an older model to drive more and keep the miles off my 19. Thanks for all your reviews.
To give you an update GM refused to buyback my broken Silverado its been four weeks. I asked GM to purchase it back at private party resale value. It has nearly 57000 miles lemon law isn't applicable even though it was purchased 18 months ago. I'm 💯 disabled vet, purchased 5 GM pickups since 2018 and even offered to purchase a ZR2 Colorado that is on the dealership lot if I received more than trade in value of the pickup.
Samko, I want you to know that we are seeing your efforts in all your channels. You’re a great honest guy that tells it how it is and we can relate to. I’m hoping that you’re being rewarded with your efforts. Merry Christmas brother. I agree, we all gotta know the lemon laws and hold every vehicle accountable to the law. New vehicles are such a big purchase that we honestly need to tighten up lemon laws. Any issue in a new vehicle is just unacceptable and a down vehicle due to part availability is just as bad as a bad motor or transmission. It’s still a payment you’re making and a truck that’s not making you money. If my plow truck goes down and I can’t rig it up or fix it, I’m dead in someone’s yard, in a storm, nobody else can get plowed, I lose customers and lots of money. I’d be way more upset if it was a new truck with a payment and some computer deciding it’s -20 and too cold. Or some sensor telling me I can’t drive over 100 miles when I’m 50 miles into the woods halfway through moose hunting week. What do you think of the 6.0 2500 Suburbans. Thinking of trading my power wagon for one and cash. Sick of getting kids in and out of tall trucks. Still need to tow my double axle camper.
@jrhunt414 thank you. Greatly appreciated. And agree with everything you said. Would be much worse for people like you that need the truck to make a living. I don't know anything about the suburban. But I'm going to start reviewing some suvs on the channel more often. So will be researching and learning
GM will get a part super fast to repair a vehicle when you finally get a GM engineer come out to find out what the issue is. Quality control is definitely a problem. My 24 Colorado came with 2 problems. The first one was the gas door came with a bad spring and needed to be replaced. They needed to purchase a whole assembly. So silly. The big one was a damaged harness under the passenger seat. It caused the back up camera to not work. It also caused the safety restraint system to flip out. Took 3 months to get it addressed with 3 separate visits. Needed a GM engineer come out and discover the problem. If you get one of them working on your vehicle they can overnight parts.
Thank you for putting a spotlight on this issue. I’ve worked at a GM dealer for the last 9 years so let me shed some light on what I’ve learned based on my research. I don’t know about other car manufacturers, but GM plants are mostly “assembly plants”. The parts to build a vehicle come to the assembly plant from the manufacturer. Ever since Covid, manufacturers are having a huge problem finding people to manufacture parts. Everyone got drunk on the “work from home” mentality, and as a result, there’s been a huge shift of employment out of manufacturing jobs. The majority of people that are hired for these positions are desperate and only live for the paycheck. They could give two shits about the quality of their work. In essence, Americans have reached the pinnacle of laziness and lack of caring. Automotive manufacturers are at the mercy of their suppliers, and ever since Covid, I’m still dealing with a supply chain issue at my job. However, I totally agree…the customer that already bought the vehicle should be top priority. Pull the f***ing part from the assembly plant and get that customer back on the road rather than churning out another vehicle that might fail. Unfortunately, car manufacturers are like our government. Red tape and extremely slow to change with the times and address the issues head-on.
@@robertloszewski1347 very well said and I appreciate the insight and Insider info. Really wish manufacturers could just get their crap in order and start treating customers better
If these people are lazy to work, I would love to take one of their jobs. Last couple years I had to retire from my job in the trades for after 30 years to take care of my dad and also to deal with an arm injury. Everything's all good now and I dont want to go back to that field anymore. If they can't find people to work, I'm here in southern california. I would love to be in the automotive industry. I always got up at 4:00 a.m. for my job in the last 30 years and I have no problem getting up and going to work. I know those jobs don't exist in southern california, but I'm willing to relocate if possible. This American is not lazy and would love to take one of their jobs.
If government got involved in this with new rules, why do I think they'll make the problem worse? They are theproblem to begin with. Where's the media doing what they used to do and expose this intolerable behavior? This kind of media is where the issue is going to get aired so the story gets out. Word of mouth gets around, too, but what gets things changing is people knowing they're not alone. Thank-you, Jason.
Reason I'm not buying anything new at this time....to many issues just not willing to take the chance.....none of them are getting my money, Toyota Ford Chevy nobody...... This may just be my last truck...
My daughter totaled my wife’s terrain Friday now I’ve gotta buy a vehicle she wants a 4Runner but the 5th gen’s are stupid high due to supply and demand and 6th gen’s aren’t out so idk what to do might end up having to buy another terrain AT4 get a 2024 but new to get as many discounts as I can 🤷♂️
I sold my 2018 chevy cruze in 2021 because the flywheel had failed and there were 3 in the entire US. It is easier to get parts for my 1987 mitsubishi starion. I went back to daily driving it after selling the cruze and couldnt be happier.
I used to think it was the American brands that were pulling this shit. I used to call it a perpetual business model to my wife. You buy the vehicle. Service it per spec until about 60K miles, no issues. After 60K small items fail or break [ knobs, some front end stuff, door handles, switches, water pumps, etc..], you take the vehicle back to the Branded dealership to get fixed. Brand makes more money. As you approach 100K or over, major things start to fail [multiple front components, AC compressor, Heater core, trans or engine], you fix it by said Brand dealer. Then you sell it and get a newer model. I know many people that are that narrow minded and brand loyal [never be brand loyal]. I noticed this with Ford, Chevy, & Ram & now Toyota is there too. I bought a used 2013 FX4 F150 with 60K when I hit 104K I had major failures & and I maintain my truck better then the service manual recommends. One of them being the leadframe in the trans. SIX [6] MONTH back order! Luckily my mechanic lucked out and got one within 3 weeks. Then I found out about an overlooked issue on those trans, the cooling lines fail randomly cos the material of the crimps fatigue over time & give out, dumping trans fluid all over the road. Fords solution? Replace them every 10 years or 100K. They made NO changes to the cooling line design. I checked mine and sure as shit, i had the beginning of a split crimp. I fixed it myself using Trans line and high quality triple belleville washer hose clamps. I recently sold it for a 5.7 Tundra. But I for the life of me can't stand the auto industry anymore - garbage in, garbage out. Sorry for the rant. This topic gets me heated.
@@KeystoneOutdoorsman his comment was spot on and it described everything in perfect Perfection this is the world we live in today none of us like it we have to deal with it but I sure wish things would change. It would be really nice if manufacturers just started put a little more quality in the quality control part of things
I had a 1972 chevy with 264k miles on it never had a problem with it, that's before all of the technology computer experts took over, now I would be afraid to trade in my 2013 daily driver on anything new because I might need a ride,
Tail light bulb on my 2017 Jeep Patriot burned out today. I went to the very small Napa car part store in town. He looks up the bu!b on the computer then reaches under the counter and pulls out a bulb from a box. Charges me four dollars and twenty-eight cents. Got home and changed the bulb in just a few minutes. Story might be very different for a minor part needed on a brand new vehicle. I am not happy where the auto industry is today and where it is heading towards.
How many mechanics remember when all 350- 360 size engines in a blazer size truck ,got at least 23 mpg with a carb & tuned correctly. No now a day they place enough non fuel friendly junk on trucks to kill the milage and keep trucks in a shop. And that's trucks, the same mother's in cars were getting 26 to 28 mpg, what a corrupt system.Corruption has become rule of law,the automotive and oil industries wishes have become rule of law.
The problem is they are building these vehicles way way too complex. We are as customers asking for our vehicles to be extensions of our homes. And they are priced as such. We have to have big screens, 10 speakers, wifi, electric outlets and a recliner seats in a F'ing truck. And wonder why we cant get parts??? Really?? My question is why is everything new not working and needing parts?????????????????????
I was just saying that I have never seen every single truck manufacturer have so many common problems with transmissions, rear ends, engines and quality of materials. On top of that the prices are higher than ever! So you're literally paying more for less. Much less! Like I've said before, I keep driving my 07' GMC Sierra 2500 HD Duramax while people are paying $60k-$100k for problems. BTW I live in Wyoming! LOL
I went through this with Ford. Between corporate greed and the fact that most large companies now are consumed with the "woke" culture and DEI, we as consumers are expected to tolerate shoddy products and service without question. There are tons of people doing jobs they aren't remotely qualified for, and the large companies know our options are limited so they don't have to change.
I agree. I’ve spent about 12k so far after engine, failed sensors etc in 2014 f150 coyote that had known issue with shitty intake valves. Despite me liking the truck, I won’t buy another Ford anytime soon. Truck only had 115k at the time, which is unacceptable to me. Truck was well maintained. Edit: obviously this is slightly different from a new vehicle, but the faulty parts you are talking about have been around a long time.
I really respect Subarus. They’re basically a niche company ! still old-school in many ways they have had some Problems through the years but they correct things and the dealer’s are different than most manufacturers. The cars are very robust. Even the plastic seems to be a higher quality.
Agree. If supply chain is still an issue or supplier part quality, that all falls on the manufacturers. Fire the suppliers, get new ones and over see it all.
@@Jason-Samko Alternate proposal: The manufacturer makes their own parts, with their own QA department, and they have control after receiving raw materials...
I am a quality Test Driver. In the 90 I worked for Ford. We averaged 40 vehicles a month at the Ford Arizona Proving Grounds. By the year 2005 that number dropped to 20. Ford sold the proving grounds to Chrysler. I went to work for Chrysler in 2010. At that time we were testing 20 vehicles per month per shift. By 2021 that number dropped to 10. Under Stellantis that number dropped to 6-9 per shift. The last two years we tested 4-6 vehicles per shift . This is why quality is so bad. Lack of investment in quality testing and being overly dependent on supplier testing. The termination of senior engineers. PPM piss poor management.
honestly theres way to much recalls on alot of the car makers. its all about numbers, u get the cars and trucks out they dont care if its built right, if it runs its done
1. disband UAW. So anyone who cannot do a quality job is removed from the line and replaced with somebody who can and will do a quality job. 2. Pay for line workers should depend on how well they do their job and the quality of their job. 3. If a car or truck has a recall and parts are not available to do the repair, the manufacturer should be making the payments on the car for the person who can’t use it. Or give a loaner till it’s repaired.
And we all always talk about how good America Made Products is, we all talk down on Chinese Products. Hey, at least Chinese products are 1/4 of the price so it has a reason. But when you’re one the most expensive but your product is the ones that brakes down the most. That tells the world how great America is!!!
In the 70's and early 80's car and truck quality was awful. Today is worse because at least when those junkers broke they had parts. The manufacturers order parts by lots from the makers. They designate those parts for new units to meet their just in time manufacturing model. They send additional purchase orders for lots of spare parts. Those spare parts don't actually have an order behind them so it costs the manufacturers extra to buy them. They should order spares with the production order but they don't. Oh, and by the way - automakers pay their vendors at 90 to 120 days so those vendors aren't too happy either so they only make those low volume spare parts orders when they get a big order.
The customer has to be treated first not the production line. Right now production has priority over parts and service. I’d give you the power to stop the line if parts were needed to service a vehicle. I’d vote for you for automotive President to change to overhaul and fix all the Production, Service and Parts and dealership issues. All manufactures, the production line, parts and service dept’s and suppliers report to you. New vehicles cannot be sold until there is enough service parts on hand. Heavy fines will be placed on suppliers for shortages. I’d have you implement quality control test and inspections before parts are used. I’d have you in charge of new vehicle pricing, no markups, no price gauging. It would be a felony with jail time, no trial, no lawyer, no judge. The awful experience of buying and owning a new vehicle has gone to far. Time we flip the script and overhaul the entire system and make the customer first.
Why it's great to have an older well maintained truck. 2004 Silverado 5.3. It always runs, just maintenance. And parts are easier. Get back to simple!!!!!
Please for the love of god Do not turn to government to fix a problem. The free market will decide who has the best quality and service. Government does not make things better …..ever
People have a choice, dont buy products from companies that do t believe in after sales service. Period Consumer dictates everything. You do t want the government mandating anything because if you do they will mandate eveything.
We do not have mgnt holding their department heads accountable they in turn don't hold their laborers accountable because of union leaders. Until somebody grows some stones and actually puts their customers first for quality and service nothing will ever change. Me personally will never buy a new vehicle will continue to invest in my used vehicles. One is 14yrs old the other 18yrs.
More Federal Government rules and regulations is not the answer, LESS government rules and regulations IS the answer! They will absolutely make it worse! The consumers also need to stop paying these ridiculous prices for these low quality vehicles. Consumers have been taken advantage of by automakers and dealerships alike. You have a voice people,it’s called your money,STOP buying this junk,this will show automakers they must do better if they want you to purchase their vehicles again.
This isn't just with cars and trucks. Nothing is made with quality and built to last. Look at appliances, same thing. Prices keep going up and quality goes down. Stop and look at how many prodeucts are made in china. They have got the world screwed. Corporate greed has moved so much manufacturing there they can produce garbage because no one else produces anything. That brings up 2 things, people want cheap products, but big wages. People will complain if tariffs are put on and prices go up but they are to dumb to realize if everbody gets decent pay they spend money and it goes through the econiomy and we all benefit and aren't at the mercy of froeign countries. Some of the blame needs to go to consumers as well. Instead of wanting reliable, affordable priced vehicles people want gadgets. If people would speak with their pocketbooks and quit buying it would change. We can't expect goverment to solve all our problems.
Jason let me help you out everything is made in China because America doesn't manufacture anything in America anymore. I have a crazy idea every company must have at least one manufacturing factory in America.
I am union and I approve this message. If you have a loan through Chevy, Dodge or Ford your payments should be forgiven when your ride is stuck in the shop for weeks and months on end.
@@dailymoodavation2612 that's a great idea too.
the bank won't do that but the manufacturer should be required to make that payment they would move heaven and hell to avoid that.
If you get a loan thru the manufacturers credit that is what will happen.
What’s being union have to do with your statement
@Clamjammer most union blindly support the union. I do quality repairs and I see the overall lackadaisical approach to quality in production, mainly management because they want those numbers out, which is what Jason was talking about. Sooooo I support what he is saying.

Last brand-new truck I bought was a 1993 Ford F-150 XLT. Loved it and ran the dog out of that thing. Just did regular maintenance on it, no issues for 15 years.
I had that issue with my new 2021 jeep wrangler 4xe where the fuel pump went after only having the jeep 5 months and it took 9 weeks to get a new fuel pump. When i got the jeep back, i got rid of it.
Did they waive your payment?
@1obscura No they didn't .
You are on point, I lave how passionate, honest and genuine you are with these videos. Not to mention the informative content you bring to the table. We’ve never seen quality issues like we are seeing right now… we need to get back to a time where the product is first and making profit is second

100% Correct!!!!
For the high price & low quality, that's the reason me and my friends are keeping our old trucks! (05 Ram 2500, 94 Chevy 1500 & 96 2500).
Any attorneys interested in filing class action suites?

@@MCH731 thank you. Greatly appreciated
My mechanic says the same thing about replacement parts - today's parts are junk - he spends a lot of time replacing parts he just replaced 🙄
Let’s be honest, the manufactures have not made a vehicle to be driven forever.
Even back in the late 90’s early 2000’s we have had trucks from all manufactures have their issue.
Toyota and rusting frames, new turbo V6 issues in the Tundra and transmission issues with the Tacomas.
Fords would spit out their sparks plugs, rust issues and diesel motor issues.
Chevy with cylinder deactivation issues, rust, electrical issues.
Nissan had terrible issues with the diesel Titan and some older Frontiers had transmission issues with coolant mixing with tranny fluid and they had a recall on a park paw issue with the new Frontier back in ‘22.
So in short, all manufactures are not out to make a truck last. But it needs to last enough to offset the cost of the vehicle.
The other issue is where the manufacturer gets their parts from. Most go with the lowest bidder for the job or part.
This is a bean counting thing. Always has been.
They purposely don’t make them last forever so you come back and buy more
Yes, you're one of the only other TH-cam rs who genuinely care and give good advice. People like TRD Jon and Brenner are the worst and how they use their platforms to push crap
24 Colorado with 1500 miles, CV boot leaks grease. Took 2 months for the part. Fixed today actually. Wtf!
Now I'm gonna keep an eye out on mine. Got a 23 trail boss 7k miles. My first issue was the lifting the hood up and the plastic valence came apart around the wipers. I took self tapping screws to it to keep in place. No room for the arms to go up without popping the valance out of place. Just a heads up.
@@rippnraptor540 Just a heads up…..There is a replacement bulletin for the wiper valances. Had mine replaced under warranty (23 Z71). New ones have held together fine and are out of a different more flexible material.
@@steveranelli3992 Thank you sir I shall ask the dealer about that.
@ 👍
Upper radiator hose seeps on my '23 Colorado with 18k miles. Two or three others with the same issue at the dealer as well, waiting for replacement
Here in Aus Jeep dealer said been waiting 2 yrs for ABS modules?
So now I've got a 4 wheel paper weight and wonder why sales have gone south since 2012.
100%. Don’t buy the trucks. If more people don’t buy trucks, the manufacturers will get the message.
Yea I don't understand how so many people are still running out and paying these absurd prices for all this absurd junk. It just goes to show no matter how greedy or corrupt the rich CEO is, the manufacturers, or politicians, or whoever we want to blame....the general public is just as much to blame. The greatest power we have is with our wallets, and too many people are showing all the higher ups that they'll just keep throwing their money at worse and worse crap and never put their foot down and do anything about it.
I have a 2006 TJ, 4.0l, 6 speed manual. I have nothing to cry about. It's all good!
Jason you took all the words right out of my mouth. I agree with you 100%. Keep it up and keep honest in your videos. Have a good New Year. 🎇
@@westcoastronnieOC714 thank you. Happy new year
Earlier I have spoken to somebody about the quality of these necessary things called vehicles that we need to run our lives & how things have changed & we hope something drastic doesn’t happen because if it does, lives can be possibly flipped. Others have spoken about of what you said as well but you put things into perspective when you say it with your style. That’s why I enjoy your show because you lay it down. Corporations & government knew this before they decided to throw all of this nonsense problems to customers. So we know where the problem lies. It’s these companies & the government. They only care about their quality. They do not care about ours, & since the government is kind-of for the people by allowing these companies toss scraps, the people need to (like you say) lemon law everything these companies bring us. We know what quality these companies can bring because they have done so in the past.
Agree. Time for changes. Wish something would force these manufacturers to take better care of their customers
I bought a 2022 jeep gladiator with a missing part, the dealer told me it’ll be here in no time, after two years it’s not here. Now they told me it’s been discontinued and nothing they can do about it. The end, they won’t talk to me anymore.
If the dealer screwed me like that for 2 years I would be furious if they told me that. I would get you yourself a good lawyer and sue them. Time and stress is not worth it. You should be compensated for that.
@ the dealer knows that we won’t sue them for little things like this, that’s why they do us like that.
@@leaddawg4983 set an example. Let the lawyer deal with all that. If it's a good case then lawyer won't charge you anything until your compensated. That's pretty much with any lawsuit that you have in this country. They will collect in the end. Maybe you could be the one to set an example to the car manufacturers. l open up a class action lawsuit against stupid nonsense like this. If people don't do these kind of things then this stuff will continue on. And if this dealer loses the case let them go after the money that they lost through stellantis. They can get on them to compensate for their loss which was the manufacturers fault in the first place.
That's just scary sad.
Worked hard for your vehicle and they door on you.
Made in America use to mean something
It means something all right!
Amen. Had to wait three months for a part for my 23 Z71 Colorado. Dealer said it was on back order..I said walk out to the assembly line and grab one. They were still being built every day. Luckily I could still drive it otherwise I would have dumped it. All brands stink these days. Well said Jason!
Yep zero reasons or excuses to have a customer wait months for a part today. Yank one from the line and overnight it to the dealership
The government needs to bail out the manufacturers again. Smh
Exactly! I agree check your state laws where the vehicle was purchased and lemon law it.
Jason, how can you have quality control when the car companies don’t even make their own pats? Old Henry made every part at his own plants and they had quality by using his own machines and inspection departments. The old companies created quality parts and didn’t rely on foreign suppliers to make anything for their vehicles. Look at all the divisions that don’t exist now. Philco, AC Delco and Mopar all were synonymous with quality parts and now all we get it junk that just won’t last.
Very true. I wish manufacturers would get their crap suppliers sorted
Wow Jason, I had no.idea that there is still parts shortage, I thought this was only during Covid
Not so much a part shortage now. More of greed and lack of manufacturers caring about customers. They don't make and stock parts for repairs anymore
Spot on! I'm currently on 3 weeks waiting on a power steering rack on my 2024 colorado trail boss. GM can't give me an ETA for the part. In a trail blazer rental. Making payments and getting screwed.
Yep this crap has to change. No reason it has to be this way
Let the damn bank take it and repo it. If my vehicle sat on a lot for six months I would not make any payments😮
That just effects the bank. The manufacturer doesn't care one bit. But I can definitely see where you are coming from. It would be very frustrating
SKI DONT haha good stuff J! Snowmobile industry, RV industry, trailer industry...just a mess for quality. Auto industry wont feel any pain unless big pain (bankruptcy...and allow a competitor that have never been allowed into US market before)...China will threaten the crap out of the Legacy Auto car manufactures and as soon as they get some traction in US market the legacy car manufactures will be forced to improve quality or they will lose all market share.
In the later 80's I actually had a GMC leave me stranded on the way home from the dealership after buying. Crazy.
One of my employees had the same happen to hin on a new f250. Fuel pump died 10 miles after leaving dealership.
I'm not usually for government intervention in much, but I'd be okay with it in this situation. We as consumers pay our hard earned money for these vehicles, and there is no reason that we should be making payments on something we can't even use. I'm a big believer in the old Ronald Reagan quote, "the nine scariest words are, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." But in this situation, I think it could work.
Funny. It's government intervention in the way of higher and higher emmissions standards that have helped make these vehicles over complicated.
Agree on both counts
My wife was watching this video last night, and came up with the best fix yet. Make the dealer or manufacturer pay the monthly payment on the vehicle as long as it sits there. You will have your vehicle back in 3-7 days guaranteed.
@traebishop3846 brilliant plan. Would love to see that happen
Right. It hasn't happened to me yet, but my day could be coming too. That's a big take-a-way from this message. We are all in this boat with nearly new trucks, one way or the other.
Very well said
The problem government owes the automobile companies, I had a 2018 jeep wrangler JL that I loved Jan 2024 I had the brakes lock up for a bad brake module go out and it was 200 miles out of warranty I was shut down by 12 dealership in the us. They said the part was under redesigned and was unable to get it. For 5-6 months not parts available and no recall for this safety part that stops my jeep this is bull crap. I clear the code by unplugging the battery to get it home. I had 23 Jeeps with no problems in the last 28 years. Dealership don’t want to stock parts because of overhead is shit. Quality control changed the standards and ranges to allow shit to go out the door. But okay by the government. 6 months to get the part and 1 hour to change part. Luckily I had a 2002 Toyota car to drive that has 189,000 miles on it with no problems that I bought new
As usual Jason spot on with your videos your work is entertaining and appreciated keep speaking the truth
@@randysavage8963 thank you. Greatly appreciated
You exactly correct on everything you stated but unfortunately it’s not just the automotive, it’s becoming everything. It’s all about make it with cheaper materials but with higher prices. No one cares about the customer anymore. It comes down to greed and it will not get any better unfortunately. Thanks for you videos
Very true
Jason, I agree with you. Good job u r correct 💯 percent.
@@captainbeyond4350 glad you enjoyed it
Someone should add on to this saying all the parts for replacement are all cheap Chinese parts. Why do OEM parts have to be 3 times more expensive for what reason?
Great point
We need class action suit .
Jason, your very Best video. I own a 2019 4Runner and there is no way I will buy a new vehicle with all the crap being built today. I am considering buying an older model to drive more and keep the miles off my 19. Thanks for all your reviews.
Right on !! I couldn't have said it better !!
Thanks
Wish the standards on quality was just as extensive as it is for the emissions.
Well said
To give you an update GM refused to buyback my broken Silverado its been four weeks. I asked GM to purchase it back at private party resale value. It has nearly 57000 miles lemon law isn't applicable even though it was purchased 18 months ago. I'm 💯 disabled vet, purchased 5 GM pickups since 2018 and even offered to purchase a ZR2 Colorado that is on the dealership lot if I received more than trade in value of the pickup.
That sucks. sorry you have to go thru that.
@@Jason-Samko thank you for your support. I appreciate it
Samko, I want you to know that we are seeing your efforts in all your channels. You’re a great honest guy that tells it how it is and we can relate to. I’m hoping that you’re being rewarded with your efforts. Merry Christmas brother.
I agree, we all gotta know the lemon laws and hold every vehicle accountable to the law. New vehicles are such a big purchase that we honestly need to tighten up lemon laws. Any issue in a new vehicle is just unacceptable and a down vehicle due to part availability is just as bad as a bad motor or transmission. It’s still a payment you’re making and a truck that’s not making you money. If my plow truck goes down and I can’t rig it up or fix it, I’m dead in someone’s yard, in a storm, nobody else can get plowed, I lose customers and lots of money. I’d be way more upset if it was a new truck with a payment and some computer deciding it’s -20 and too cold. Or some sensor telling me I can’t drive over 100 miles when I’m 50 miles into the woods halfway through moose hunting week.
What do you think of the 6.0 2500 Suburbans. Thinking of trading my power wagon for one and cash. Sick of getting kids in and out of tall trucks. Still need to tow my double axle camper.
@jrhunt414 thank you. Greatly appreciated. And agree with everything you said. Would be much worse for people like you that need the truck to make a living.
I don't know anything about the suburban. But I'm going to start reviewing some suvs on the channel more often. So will be researching and learning
GM will get a part super fast to repair a vehicle when you finally get a GM engineer come out to find out what the issue is.
Quality control is definitely a problem.
My 24 Colorado came with 2 problems. The first one was the gas door came with a bad spring and needed to be replaced. They needed to purchase a whole assembly. So silly.
The big one was a damaged harness under the passenger seat. It caused the back up camera to not work. It also caused the safety restraint system to flip out. Took 3 months to get it addressed with 3 separate visits. Needed a GM engineer come out and discover the problem. If you get one of them working on your vehicle they can overnight parts.
YOU GOT IT DEAD NUTS MY FREIND,HAPPY NEW YEAR
Agree if you want hundred percent
Thank you for putting a spotlight on this issue. I’ve worked at a GM dealer for the last 9 years so let me shed some light on what I’ve learned based on my research. I don’t know about other car manufacturers, but GM plants are mostly “assembly plants”. The parts to build a vehicle come to the assembly plant from the manufacturer. Ever since Covid, manufacturers are having a huge problem finding people to manufacture parts. Everyone got drunk on the “work from home” mentality, and as a result, there’s been a huge shift of employment out of manufacturing jobs. The majority of people that are hired for these positions are desperate and only live for the paycheck. They could give two shits about the quality of their work. In essence, Americans have reached the pinnacle of laziness and lack of caring. Automotive manufacturers are at the mercy of their suppliers, and ever since Covid, I’m still dealing with a supply chain issue at my job. However, I totally agree…the customer that already bought the vehicle should be top priority. Pull the f***ing part from the assembly plant and get that customer back on the road rather than churning out another vehicle that might fail. Unfortunately, car manufacturers are like our government. Red tape and extremely slow to change with the times and address the issues head-on.
@@robertloszewski1347 very well said and I appreciate the insight and Insider info. Really wish manufacturers could just get their crap in order and start treating customers better
If these people are lazy to work, I would love to take one of their jobs. Last couple years I had to retire from my job in the trades for after 30 years to take care of my dad and also to deal with an arm injury. Everything's all good now and I dont want to go back to that field anymore. If they can't find people to work, I'm here in southern california. I would love to be in the automotive industry. I always got up at 4:00 a.m. for my job in the last 30 years and I have no problem getting up and going to work. I know those jobs don't exist in southern california, but I'm willing to relocate if possible. This American is not lazy and would love to take one of their jobs.
@westcoastronnieOC714 the work force would definitely benefit from you and people like you today
If government got involved in this with new rules, why do I think they'll make the problem worse? They are theproblem to begin with. Where's the media doing what they used to do and expose this intolerable behavior? This kind of media is where the issue is going to get aired so the story gets out. Word of mouth gets around, too, but what gets things changing is people knowing they're not alone. Thank-you, Jason.
So very true. And an excellent comment
Reason I'm not buying anything new at this time....to many issues just not willing to take the chance.....none of them are getting my money, Toyota Ford Chevy nobody...... This may just be my last truck...
Buy old: houses and vehicles.
Just drove my ZR2 home. I'm praying it's going to be a dependable vehicle.
Now a days, Ya. Hope n pray. Sad ain’t it???
Should be a perfect truck. Congratulations!

My daughter totaled my wife’s terrain Friday now I’ve gotta buy a vehicle she wants a 4Runner but the 5th gen’s are stupid high due to supply and demand and 6th gen’s aren’t out so idk what to do might end up having to buy another terrain AT4 get a 2024 but new to get as many discounts as I can 🤷♂️
Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-50, Buick Envision. Check those out too.
Glad she is ok! The rest will sort itself out
I sold my 2018 chevy cruze in 2021 because the flywheel had failed and there were 3 in the entire US. It is easier to get parts for my 1987 mitsubishi starion. I went back to daily driving it after selling the cruze and couldnt be happier.
I used to think it was the American brands that were pulling this shit. I used to call it a perpetual business model to my wife. You buy the vehicle. Service it per spec until about 60K miles, no issues. After 60K small items fail or break [ knobs, some front end stuff, door handles, switches, water pumps, etc..], you take the vehicle back to the Branded dealership to get fixed. Brand makes more money. As you approach 100K or over, major things start to fail [multiple front components, AC compressor, Heater core, trans or engine], you fix it by said Brand dealer. Then you sell it and get a newer model. I know many people that are that narrow minded and brand loyal [never be brand loyal]. I noticed this with Ford, Chevy, & Ram & now Toyota is there too.
I bought a used 2013 FX4 F150 with 60K when I hit 104K I had major failures & and I maintain my truck better then the service manual recommends. One of them being the leadframe in the trans. SIX [6] MONTH back order! Luckily my mechanic lucked out and got one within 3 weeks. Then I found out about an overlooked issue on those trans, the cooling lines fail randomly cos the material of the crimps fatigue over time & give out, dumping trans fluid all over the road. Fords solution? Replace them every 10 years or 100K. They made NO changes to the cooling line design. I checked mine and sure as shit, i had the beginning of a split crimp. I fixed it myself using Trans line and high quality triple belleville washer hose clamps.
I recently sold it for a 5.7 Tundra. But I for the life of me can't stand the auto industry anymore - garbage in, garbage out.
Sorry for the rant. This topic gets me heated.
@@KeystoneOutdoorsman his comment was spot on and it described everything in perfect Perfection this is the world we live in today none of us like it we have to deal with it but I sure wish things would change. It would be really nice if manufacturers just started put a little more quality in the quality control part of things
When corporations want cheap parts they buy from
Overseas hence the problems. Quality has been lost for years now
Most common sense I’ve heard all day
@@MattC.87 thank you
The reason they suffer is we the customer tolerate it by buying their crap and paying more and more for it.
I had a 1972 chevy with 264k miles on it never had a problem with it, that's before all of the technology computer experts took over, now I would be afraid to trade in my 2013 daily driver on anything new because I might need a ride,
Tail light bulb on my 2017 Jeep Patriot burned out today. I went to the very small Napa car part store in town. He looks up the bu!b on the computer then reaches under the counter and pulls out a bulb from a box. Charges me four dollars and twenty-eight cents. Got home and changed the bulb in just a few minutes. Story might be very different for a minor part needed on a brand new vehicle. I am not happy where the auto industry is today and where it is heading towards.
How many mechanics remember when all 350- 360 size engines in a blazer size truck ,got at least 23 mpg with a carb & tuned correctly. No now a day they place enough non fuel friendly junk on trucks to kill the milage and keep trucks in a shop. And that's trucks, the same mother's in cars were getting 26 to 28 mpg, what a corrupt system.Corruption has become rule of law,the automotive and oil industries wishes have become rule of law.
The problem is they are building these vehicles way way too complex. We are as customers asking for our vehicles to be extensions of our homes. And they are priced as such. We have to have big screens, 10 speakers, wifi, electric outlets and a recliner seats in a F'ing truck. And wonder why we cant get parts??? Really?? My question is why is everything new not working and needing parts?????????????????????
When I live Ranger STX 4x2 cost 36000 and STX 4x4 close to 50k
Once my 2022 Wrangler lease is up soon no more new vehicles. Prices crazy, quality sucks. Gonna stick with old beater trucks.
I was just saying that I have never seen every single truck manufacturer have so many common problems with transmissions, rear ends, engines and quality of materials. On top of that the prices are higher than ever! So you're literally paying more for less. Much less! Like I've said before, I keep driving my 07' GMC Sierra 2500 HD Duramax while people are paying $60k-$100k for problems. BTW I live in Wyoming! LOL
Very true
You are describing the end result of outsourcing and globalization.
Preach
I went through this with Ford. Between corporate greed and the fact that most large companies now are consumed with the "woke" culture and DEI, we as consumers are expected to tolerate shoddy products and service without question. There are tons of people doing jobs they aren't remotely qualified for, and the large companies know our options are limited so they don't have to change.
I agree. I’ve spent about 12k so far after engine, failed sensors etc in 2014 f150 coyote that had known issue with shitty intake valves. Despite me liking the truck, I won’t buy another Ford anytime soon. Truck only had 115k at the time, which is unacceptable to me. Truck was well maintained.
Edit: obviously this is slightly different from a new vehicle, but the faulty parts you are talking about have been around a long time.
Sucks you had to go thru that
Expose them
I really respect Subarus. They’re basically a niche company ! still old-school in many ways they have had some Problems through the years but they correct things and the dealer’s are different than most manufacturers. The cars are very robust. Even the plastic seems to be a higher quality.
@@darylhill9400 love Subarus
None of that matters when people are not buying due to crazy prices.
Jason I hear you my friend. Follow the money, & u will discover the answers. Peace.
Great point
The supply chain excuse is warn out . Let’s get real again. No more excuses.
Agree. If supply chain is still an issue or supplier part quality, that all falls on the manufacturers. Fire the suppliers, get new ones and over see it all.
@@Jason-Samko Alternate proposal: The manufacturer makes their own parts, with their own QA department, and they have control after receiving raw materials...
@benjammindeth that's how it will need to go if we ever want quality parts again.
I am a quality Test Driver. In the 90 I worked for Ford. We averaged 40 vehicles a month at the Ford Arizona Proving Grounds. By the year 2005 that number dropped to 20. Ford sold the proving grounds to Chrysler. I went to work for Chrysler in 2010. At that time we were testing 20 vehicles per month per shift. By 2021 that number dropped to 10. Under Stellantis that number dropped to 6-9 per shift. The last two years we tested 4-6 vehicles per shift . This is why quality is so bad. Lack of investment in quality testing and being overly dependent on supplier testing. The termination of senior engineers. PPM piss poor management.
Excellent insider info. And greatly appreciated
honestly theres way to much recalls on alot of the car makers. its all about numbers, u get the cars and trucks out they dont care if its built right, if it runs its done
1. disband UAW. So anyone who cannot do a quality job is removed from the line and replaced with somebody who can and will do a quality job.
2. Pay for line workers should depend on how well they do their job and the quality of their job.
3. If a car or truck has a recall and parts are not available to do the repair, the manufacturer should be making the payments on the car for the person who can’t use it. Or give a loaner till it’s repaired.
I like item 1 and #2 for sure. All good points actually

truck brands defiently need to get their crap together.
And we're especially tired of being expected to pay 100s of thousands dollars for these failing cars.
Aree
Screw all computer crap on automobiles!!!
In the 70's and early 80's car and truck quality was awful. Today is worse because at least when those junkers broke they had parts. The manufacturers order parts by lots from the makers. They designate those parts for new units to meet their just in time manufacturing model. They send additional purchase orders for lots of spare parts. Those spare parts don't actually have an order behind them so it costs the manufacturers extra to buy them. They should order spares with the production order but they don't. Oh, and by the way - automakers pay their vendors at 90 to 120 days so those vendors aren't too happy either so they only make those low volume spare parts orders when they get a big order.
The customer has to be treated first not the production line. Right now production has priority over parts and service. I’d give you the power to stop the line if parts were needed to service a vehicle. I’d vote for you for automotive President to change to overhaul and fix all the Production, Service and Parts and dealership issues. All manufactures, the production line, parts and service dept’s and suppliers report to you. New vehicles cannot be sold until there is enough service parts on hand. Heavy fines will be placed on suppliers for shortages. I’d have you implement quality control test and inspections before parts are used. I’d have you in charge of new vehicle pricing, no markups, no price gauging. It would be a felony with jail time, no trial, no lawyer, no judge. The awful experience of buying and owning a new vehicle has gone to far. Time we flip the script and overhaul the entire system and make the customer first.
Agree. Time for changes to happen. It's crazy how bad it all is now
Its in every industry. Tractor and other Agriculture equipment is the same way. Can't get parts.
True. And sad
I'll do that if my 2025 GMC shits the bed.
to many luxury trim models
Why it's great to have an older well maintained truck.
2004 Silverado 5.3.
It always runs, just maintenance. And parts are easier.
Get back to simple!!!!!
Junk. Two dors and crank up windows work cast iron engine..it works.
Please for the love of god
Do not turn to government to fix a problem.
The free market will decide who has the best quality and service.
Government does not make things better …..ever
Thank you for making videos about the market that are actually helpful/insightful, not these “THE CAR MARKET HAS OFFICIALLY DIED” videos.
@kgthakid2911 thank you. Glad you are enjoying them
People have a choice, dont buy products from companies that do t believe in after sales service. Period
Consumer dictates everything. You do t want the government mandating anything because if you do they will mandate eveything.
It's our own fault...people keep buying...why should they change?
We do not have mgnt holding their department heads accountable they in turn don't hold their laborers accountable because of union leaders. Until somebody grows some stones and actually puts their customers first for quality and service nothing will ever change. Me personally will never buy a new vehicle will continue to invest in my used vehicles. One is 14yrs old the other 18yrs.
More Federal Government rules and regulations is not the answer, LESS government rules and regulations IS the answer! They will absolutely make it worse! The consumers also need to stop paying these ridiculous prices for these low quality vehicles. Consumers have been taken advantage of by automakers and dealerships alike. You have a voice people,it’s called your money,STOP buying this junk,this will show automakers they must do better if they want you to purchase their vehicles again.
The best way to avoid is don't buy ......
It’s all part of the shit show. They don’t want us driving anymore. Think about it.
This isn't just with cars and trucks. Nothing is made with quality and built to last. Look at appliances, same thing. Prices keep going up and quality goes down. Stop and look at how many prodeucts are made in china. They have got the world screwed. Corporate greed has moved so much manufacturing there they can produce garbage because no one else produces anything. That brings up 2 things, people want cheap products, but big wages. People will complain if tariffs are put on and prices go up but they are to dumb to realize if everbody gets decent pay they spend money and it goes through the econiomy and we all benefit and aren't at the mercy of froeign countries. Some of the blame needs to go to consumers as well. Instead of wanting reliable, affordable priced vehicles people want gadgets. If people would speak with their pocketbooks and quit buying it would change. We can't expect goverment to solve all our problems.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jason let me help you out everything is made in China because America doesn't manufacture anything in America anymore. I have a crazy idea every company must have at least one manufacturing factory in America.
