0.42 -> rev up your engines today by popular demand I'm gonna talk about the six

10.32 -> worse SUVs out there now yes SUVs are becoming more and more popular people

17.34 -> buy many more SUVs than cars look at Ford they're giving up with their cars

22.31 -> except for the Mustang and only selling SUVs and trucks but being popular the

26.35 -> price of SUVs is gone sky-high so you don't want to spend all that money and

31.05 -> get a pile a junk so today I'm gonna talk about six SUVs that you shouldn't

36.089 -> walk away from you should have run away from them never even think about buying

40.299 -> them number six on the list is a Nissan Rogue I had customers with those they got

45.85 -> some mileage on them seventy eighty thousand

47.829 -> miles they started to fall apart they're so bad than October there's a lawsuit

52.149 -> against them for their emergency braking system it turns out that the emergency

56.289 -> braking system that's supposed to save you breaks itself sometimes when you're

60.329 -> going down a highway for no reason if people can smash right India just what

63.76 -> you want to do own an SUV that gets you in an accident it's not avoiding it by

69.21 -> putting on the brakes for no reason whatsoever and over all the vehicles are junky they

73.84 -> lose about sixty percent of their value the first five years ownership so in

78.189 -> this case hey Nissan gave it the right name the road and you want to stay away

83.859 -> from rogues whenever possible number five on the list is the Chevy Equinox

90.179 -> you don't want to buy an equinox either now Chevy kind of realized their

93.649 -> problems in 2005 they started making the original Equinox but they turned to

99.52 -> digital crossover SUV they're calling the equinox so they're still out there

104.069 -> but it's still falling apart they're known for excessive oil consumption

108.429 -> I had a costumer with one that thing Burnt a quart of oil every 500 miles but

113.799 -> of course in any modern vehicle burning oil is more than just a nuisance because

117.83 -> that burning oil will eventually destroy the catalytic converter in the oxygen

121.72 -> sensors by clogging them up and if you don't have the oil of course the engine

124.61 -> blows up it deteriorates the anti-pollution system that can cost

127.929 -> thousands to fix down the line all in all not a good car our customers were

132.349 -> the transmissions for now we're just typical with modern GM they

136.23 -> don't make that good automatic transmissions anymore that's a super

139.709 -> expensive fix that runs thousands and thousands of dollars these are on

143.939 -> vehicles have less than a hundred thousand miles I'm not talking about

146.379 -> something that's got three four hundred thousand miles and yeah things

149.19 -> eventually wear out these things wear out before their time and just like

153.379 -> seasons come and go the equinox I'd let it go I wouldn't get it in the first

159.319 -> place, now number four in the list is the Dodge

164.189 -> Journey was surprised now 2019 they discontinued some of the journey models

169.2 -> and they were talking about hey many their gonna drop the Dodge Journey

172.39 -> entirely but they're not a couple weeks ago notice that they put out talking

176.28 -> about how great their 2020 Dodge Journey was in one of those PR brochures that

181.81 -> they send out on the Internet to try to war people into buying them yeah give it

186.23 -> to Dodge there's a lot of room inside they have all the creature comforts but

189.97 -> unfortunately they don't hold up over time they get pretty crappy gas mileage

195.17 -> and their resale value is horrendous now they're owned by Fiat another

200.06 -> failing company so now you got two failing companies merging together what

203.62 -> do you think they're gonna do come up with brilliant success after decades of

207.42 -> failure I mean really one of the reasons Fiat bought Chrysler was to have all

212.67 -> these crazier dealerships where they could sell their Fiats but now they're

216.42 -> even talking about pulling Fiat out of the United States because their Fiat

220.25 -> models sold so poorly in America that it doesn't make much sense to go through

224.349 -> the trouble of trying to sell them when you only sell in a few of them and not

228.239 -> really making any profit and the few customer of mine that did buy dodge journeys

232.43 -> they were disappointed in the long run they liked them when they were new

235.79 -> everything for the kids and you could fit a lot of people in them but as they

239.61 -> age the new transmissions were out or their engine started burning oil or

243.879 -> their electrical system started going haywire like a lot of late-model

247.5 -> Chrysler's do they said I'm not buying another Dodge product so take advantage

253.02 -> of my customers mistake and don't buy one of these dodge journeys now number

257.55 -> three on my list of the worst six SUVs to buy the Volkswagen Tiguan not

264.3 -> surprised either a Volkswagen product today in the United States although

268.3 -> swaggin teague ones are powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged engine with

274.36 -> an 8-speed automatic transmission realized a long time ago volkswagen

278.42 -> bought outtie and Porsche they took a lot of that complex technology and put

283.04 -> it into Volkswagens who used to be a simple reliable car manufacturer with

288.64 -> the old beetles things were cheap could run forever with very little maintenance

293.19 -> that you could easily perform yourself we can forget that with this that

296.75 -> turbocharged direct-injection engine notorious for having carbon buildup

301.06 -> inside also had problems with the timing chains and attention errs that they'd

305.5 -> break when they get a little over a hundred thousand miles and then those

308.69 -> are interference engines so then the valves hit the Pistons and you got to

312.281 -> put new heads on the engine it cost a fortune people junk them then if they got any

316.6 -> serious mileage on and the dual clutch transmissions that are in them they are probably

320.17 -> the worst thing that Volkswagen ever came up with

322.36 -> I've seen those things go out and people spend five to seven thousand dollars

326.91 -> having them replaced this high level of technologists in the Tiguan it bites you

330.67 -> in the rear end if you keep him for anything like the time now don't be

333.55 -> fooled by them let's say you go road test run it to dealer they are zippy fun

338.18 -> to drive they handle quite well but they just don't hold up over time now let's

344.57 -> say you want to zippy little SUV and you drive a thousand miles a year go

349.54 -> ahead and buy one things generally not gonna break down then thousand miles a

353.32 -> year thirty years you put on 30,000 miles you'd probably be running

356.65 -> perfectly fine and of course they have horrendous resale value you'd get them cheap use

362.04 -> but here we go again you don't want to use Volkswagen turbo use no number two

366.42 -> on a list of SUVs not to buy is the BMW X series the x3 the x5 but especially

373.66 -> the yaks three over the years I've had a few customers by BMW X series every

380.33 -> single one of them turned into an endless money pit as they aged level

386.07 -> technology and these things are insane special G sensors so they don't flip

390.74 -> over because they're pretty high up in the air

393.08 -> those systems break you could spend thousands of dollars fixing I'm their

396.74 -> transmission systems here in the United States are all automatic

400.19 -> they are insanely complex and yes they break all the time then cost a fortune

405.53 -> to fix often it costs more to fix the transmission than the car is worth and

410.11 -> being modern BMW as they're plagued with oil leaks the use all this plastic crap

414.8 -> on the engine system and on the cooling system to which have a lot of plastic

418.78 -> stuff that ages and crack and starts to leave and then it may be cheap plastic

422.43 -> but it isn't cheap to buy or repair when it does break now of course they're not

426.77 -> giving these things away they're extremely expensive to begin with so

430.15 -> unfortunately I've seen quite a few people buy them when they're five six

434.5 -> years old think whoo look at all the money I saved and yes you saved a lot of

438.81 -> money over the original sticker price there's no arguing that if you keep one

442.33 -> of those things for another three four years all those savings are gonna go

445.89 -> right down the toilet in repairs let's face it if you're spending forty two

450.41 -> thousand up for an SUV you expect quality and speaking of quality these

456.19 -> extras here in the United States their not made in Germany their made the United

460.56 -> States and South Carolina you're paying that

462.85 -> kind of money for a German car at least myself I expect it to be made in Germany

468.41 -> by Germans so if you value your SUV money stay away from BMW X3 now

475.62 -> here's the moment you were waiting for the worst SUV to buy and what is it no

480 -> surprise the Land Rover or to be specific the Jaguar Land Rover the

485.98 -> company's not one company Jaguar Land Rover it used to be English but Tata the

491.51 -> Indian company that makes those little cheap cars bottomed out a while ago then

494.89 -> they start having problems losing money so now the Chinese own half of Jaguar

499.57 -> Land Rover so you think the quality up making these new Chinese factories but

503.4 -> now last month the Chinese were protesting at the Jaguar Land Rover

508.001 -> factor about how poor the quality of their vehicles are rather ironic one

512.03 -> there they were known for poor quality in England then the Indians bottom and

516.279 -> the quality is still going bad and then the Chinese on half of them and the

520.31 -> quality still going down but strangely enough at least here in the United

523.689 -> States they sell a lot of these Land Rovers because they're sort of the in

529.74 -> car for the yuppie crowd they all have to have one I remember a customer of mine

534.649 -> he was buying one for his girlfriend he had a new girlfriend he was 50 she was

539.18 -> twenty-something she just had to have a Landrover and when I hooked up my fancy

543.74 -> scan tool I found like 27 different things wrong with it from the giant computer

548.61 -> scan yeah these things are not dependable hey when the Chinese are

552.74 -> protesting in China their headquarters in China about bad quality that gels in

558.67 -> something and the warning about buying a used one because it's so much cheaper to

562.43 -> save money is doubly so warning here because as they age they fall apart

568.08 -> faster than probably any car out there buying a used one is an endless money

571.769 -> pits I've had customers buy him they thought oh I only paid $8,000 from this

575.74 -> vehicle then they find out it needs four thousand here five thousand here and

579.639 -> over the years in my need forty thousand dollars worth of work so you're gonna go

584.66 -> a roving in your SUV just make a point of not doing it in a Land Rover do it in

589.95 -> something that's built a little bit better and yeah everybody loves their

592.689 -> SUVs these days but you don't want to get stopped with a lemon so heed my

596.399 -> warning and don't buy any of these six I just talked about, so if you never want

601.899 -> to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell
