Don't Make These Mistakes! 5 Used Cars You SHOULDN'T Buy!

.....ummm j.d. power charges the auto makers licensing, or “co-branding” fees to top-ranked car manufacturers that choose to use their awards for marketing purposes. not exactly the most reliable source for what cars are truly the best

What about a 2019 GMC Acadia or Terrain over 100,000?

Do Not Buy Extended warranty for used cars. It is a scam. You pay roughy 2500 to 3000 dollars for one of these warranties. The dealership is a go between and the actual warranty company is only charging the dealership say 500 dollars for the service. So the dealership pockets the the difference.
Now if you have a problem with the car and you file a claim, the dealership is responsible for a portion of the repair bill, so the dealership does all they can to get the claim denied.
I lived this nightmare with Morries Chevrolet of Sparta Wi and Endurance Auto Warranty. The dealership wanted 11,900 dollars to replace motor. I got a new long block installed for 5400 complete. Be careful who is selling you what. Afterall "He is a Used car Salesman "

My 2011 sonata limited had the GDi engine and after 9 years we had an engine replaced.

Don't buy a GM car with the 3.6 V6 if it has any miles on it. Timing chain WILL go bad and it's an engine out job. Don't buy a GM with active fuel management on the V8's. Cam and lifter eaters.

lol, basically Jeep anything..

If I lived in Louisville, I'd be visiting you for a car.

Hey bro thank u so much for being a hustler, but an honest one.... please don't take that hustler comment disrespectful, I'm mean it to be good!

A little information on the Toyota with a transmission issue most of the shudder issues can be solved by having the dealer wipe the transmission learning software especially the new 8 speed transmissions. They had early failures 2017-2018, but got the problems fixed and they are pretty reliable now. We had a shudder and had them wipe the memory and have had zero issues and have put 40k miles on it since the memory wipe. The problems arise more when more than 2 people drive it. Easy fix if you have that problem:P

The Escape and Fusions are effected with the coolant intrusion issue and its not a head gasket problem it is a block design flaw that Ford knew about and later re-designed nice and sneaky and quiet about doing it Shhhh! Anyway the engines that do not have the re-designed block will have the issue multiple times unless the block is replaced with the updated block. Great list I agree stay away from these vehicles they may look nice and have a cheap price tag that will tempt you, but do not do it! You will spend all that money you thought you saved and some down the road. That is why I buy Toyotas and Hondas. Might be a tad more up-front, but Man O" Man do I save money long term and get highest resale and trade in values!

Well I have a 2001 Saturn sl1 have had it for 8 years a very good car

Purchased a 2010 Jeep Compass brand new back in the day...drove it up to 56K and without warning (and after a state inspection just two weeks prior) the stability control light comes on, and within 100 yards, the right front wheel...the entire wheel...drops out of the side of the car. The dealership later claims that the ball joint was bad, but again, after an inspection that said that everything was fine, they point to the ball joint, which usually lasts up to 100K before needing to be replaced. In the time that I owned it, I had to replace the suspension, but otherwise, it lasted until 150K miles when I traded it in for another car. So now necessarily the best car, but I didn't have transmission or engine issues. Oh...and the A/C compressor died after six years of relatively minor usage. So I'd agree, Jeeps have really lost their shine in the last decade or so.

interesting! because in europe you have 5 years on hyundai and 7 years on kia or 150000 km .........I have a Kia Ceed second generation, bought it with 72000 km and now i have 160000 km on it, but engine and rest is great. have problems with diesel filter when it is cold but till now nothing more ( made in slovakia for europe) and the rubbers of the key and trunk button are really bad, that i must change! every 2 years......Dogde is Stelantis 😀i had a bad car crash in a FIAT, never will buy or use this Brand again, airbaig dont open, 50 km/h . my fiat punto was a death machine, broke the the third lumbar vertebra. never again, but stelantis cars look very good, dogde, fiat , jeep and so on.

New subscriber here. Thanks for all of your information here. I have actually looked at used Hyundai's and this post was very helpful. Thanks, again!

Had a new Jeep Cherokee in 91 and it went forever with little repairs. Wish you could get the same today, the 4wd worked very well.

CVT’s try replacing the crank sensor for $40. When this sensor goes bad even transmission shops believe the transmission is bad

Like Tesla with piles of their broken vehicles out back and side and front 😅. People must pray to have their Kias stolen 😮if it’s movable 😅

I like the 2010 Camaro 2SS you currently have 😊

K.rap I.n A.merica's Gdi stands for Gone & Distroyed Itself

buy a $500 car drive it till it stops buy another one repeat if one lasts a year without needing anything give it oil never FILL the gas tank thats a waste WHEN it dies or burns

Glad I got carshield just in time, have a dodge Journey and my entire engine got replaced, $100 deductible 😂

Throw aways

Extended warranties exist to make money, you always pay much more than they are worth on average. Some are basically worthless too.

All true

JD Powers is a PR Agency, they aren't mechanics. Nissan's CVT trans problems are only for the front wheel drive. Their rear wheel drive CVT's are better if you change the oil religiously.

Agree with all mentioned although I would buy a Hyundai Kia before a Chevy,,, on Toyota or Lexus for reliability!!!

Your info on the Kia engine issue is not correct. It was the Theta 2 that had the milling issue AND was only from 2010 to 2013. The key issue is only Kia's with NO immobilizer installed with the security system and is only a few models in certain years. My 2012 KIA Optima SX has been an excellent car and KIA has always covered, under warranty, any issue I have had and I have 110k on it.

Bought a hyundai accent (cheap) 14 years ago, paid off 10 years ago, still my daily driver.

Funny, I bought a used Renegade and it's been a great vehicle... Unfortunately, it's in the body shop and I got a Hyundai Sonata as a rental and I hate that car. It has no power, either. I believe it has a GDi engine in it...

On Extended warranties I’d say stick with a manufacturers extended warranty. All vehicle manufacturers do offer it . The car wizard did a list of vehicles you should stay away from .

Only good Jeeps to buy are grand Cherokee, Cherokee xj, and wrangler

Go to any junkyard and youll.find ten times the number of chevys than kias

Just sbout everything is junk today i will fix and drive my 2004 Volvo V70 2.3 Turbo to the wheels fall off, it has 220000 miles and burns No Oil it is bullet proof so i don't need a warranty. Had it 4 years no problems and only paid $2000.oo for it when i bought it... Keep all the car trash you sell and your warranty too !!!!

My only disagreement is with the 2015 and later Cherokees. I know of several of these vehicles with well over 300,000 miles and no trouble. The pre 2014 Cherokees in that style yes and definitely the Patriot, Compass, and Renegade. The last of those is just a Fiat 500 with a new body. BTW that is one I would add to your list. I would also add the Range Rover and Land Rover money pits.

Anything american, european or korean made.

chevy should be in your list also

CVT transmissions ruined Nissans reputation.

The transmission issues are mainly from trying to squeeze as much mpg out of them as possible and at the same time make them cheap as possible while also pairing them with a turbo that puts stress on them.

i am thinking buying a new car, with your experience what is your recomendation.

most convential style non-cvt transmission shudder issues are torque coverter shudders and most often can be rectified with a triple flush with mobil 1 or redline transmission fluids. I've rectified a plethora of GM trucks and f150s with the most VIOLENT TCC shudder feeling like the gears are about to blast out the side of the transmission case. GM has TSB's that states what i stated and it most definitely does work.

Amazing no GM cars were on the list. I have owned 5 Hyundai......only one gave be issues (2.4)...and Hyundai took care of it.....3 had the 2.4 engine in question....

correction 100% of ICE cars are going to break...less than 3 months after selling my tesla already spent more in maintenance on my altima than the 3 years of tesla ownership...oh and i never had to worry about a bad trans

I stay away from CVT Transmission vehicles, and anything that has TURBO in them!

I love the way Jeep Wranglers look, but I would never buy one. I’ve known too many people who have nothing but problems with them.

Another informative video! The previous Compass & Patriot were based on the Caliber. That was one lousy vehicle. A neighbor bought a used one I do not know what year, but I can see rust eating through the lower rocker panels. I wonder if in a future video you will be mentioning not to buy those 3-cylinder turbo charged GM vehicles.

My mom had a Dodge Journey once. Try going on a road trip being a single mother of 3 kids and pack all of our luggage in that thing. There was barely any visibility out the rear window once everything was loaded in the cargo area. Even though we all enjoyed our vacation the driving was rough for her. She bought a full size pickup truck after that fiasco.

Nearly 70 years on since the dawn of the modern multi-speed torque converter automatic transmission (Chrysler 727 TorqueFlight of 1956), and automakers STILL can't get it consistently right. See the new joint-effor GM/Ford 10-speed AT in full-size pickups and CVTs, esp. Nissan and Subaru, are even worse. The ZF8 speed (in anything from Audis to BMWs to V8 Dodge Challengers) is the best of 'em all, and actually very good. Good on ze Germans. Boo on pretty much everyone else.

As someone who unknowingly bought a car with a 3 year loan recently, I can tell you another car to avoid is ANY 2012--2018 Ford Focus! I bought it April 15 and it was in the shop April 19 with 106,004 miles. The Powershift Automatic had comepletely went out! The TCM failed (Btw they have 100% fail rate after 11 revisions) and it caused major damages to the actuators and clutch packs. If the dealer didnt pay and I hadnt payed the first bill, I would've ditched it. AGAIN DO NOT BUY A FOCUS OR FIESTA WITH THE POWERSHIFT. THEY WILL BANKRUPT YOU.
