10 BRUTAL Cars You Need to Dump Before Warranty Expires! 

I truly believe that today's engineers are all on crack

Anyone buying a Nissan beware of the infamous “CVT” transmission as the biggest automaker’s garbage! It’s a closed system transmission which means it can’t be rebuilt & only lasts in the neighborhood of 60K miles! If the dealer tells you the transmission has a lifetime warranty be aware it’s NOT your lifetime, it’s the lifetime of the transmission which once again 60K miles! 23:25

Toyota went goofy 🤪 when they went to the twin turbo v6

I've got a 17 year old Focus with 293k miles and it doesn't stop running or stall

You could pretty much say ditch any Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep vehicle before the warranty expires.

8:55 I used to be a Ford fan back in the day, but not anymore. They've gone downhill " bigly" and they turned me away for legit warranty issues.

I think by now we should know we must keep our old cars

Sales Manager at a sales meeting: "Any ideas why our new Subaru STD model isn't selling? Anyone?"

I never see a disabled Toyota on the side of the road, but there's no shortage of broken down Nissan's.

with all of the new technology, there is no reason for any automotive company not to have a cover all warranty of 250 thousand miles

I rented one of those Buicks in June from Rent A Car, it had 5k Miles and it drove like it was its last days.

It's called an Escape because you have to escape from it.

Definitely don't want a Subaru STI or STD, Mark!

The worst part is that it's not just the baby Bronco. The big Bronco has had a TON of issues as well.

This is why I will keep mu 09 Sonata going as long as possible, so far with no issues. After that I will just start leasing. You are going to pay one way or another so rather than deal with possibly huge repair costs and shady repair quality just drive an new rig every few years and not have to worry about it.

Vehicles are too complicated now… get back to a simple platform that’s easy to work on..

I own, drive and maintain myself a 22 year old Nissan Frontier stick shift and a 27 year old Jeep Wrangler Sport stick shift. There is no way I'd buy a new car or truck. I'm an older guy and I've owned and driven these for years, the Nissan I've driven all over the country, and these are the last four-wheel vehicles I'm going to own.

I just got Forester, traded in the 2017 Escape. Looked @ Encore, where the pricing & dealerships did not help. It does not even address the decreasing price gap between pre owned and new vehicles.

I remember when Toyota was a good brand, Im not a fan of turbos, they run hot and are prone to expensive failures.

Keep on keepin on. People need to know this stuff. LOL that Bronco "fix", unbelievable. But not really, band-aid patches are now the norm. Stay gold.

Thanks, my brother from this type of education. Keep well

The Bronco Sport, on the Es-CRAP platform with Eco-Roast engine. There's a bargain.

This is good advice for 2005. Today, all vehicles have overly complex electronics requiring all of them to be sold before the warranty expires if you don't want to get sunk with repair bills.

Another great video. Thanks. After owning a Chrysler product after warranty that broke down, all the time, buying a a new car with a good warranty was important for my wife and me. I really don't understand those people on social media who do all these "upgrades" to their new cars which void their warranties. When I see that I immediately know those people do not plan on keeping their cars and worse yet, they most likely will dump their cars on an unsuspecting person so they can move on and ruin another new car. Again, thanks for these videos. Quality is engineered.

That Mass Air flow sensor is a legendary failure in VW's. You nailed that together with the description of that highway merge. I owned a Jetta, so I know what I'm talking about 😂

STI HAS A BAD RAP BECAUSE THEY GET TUNED AND BEATEN TO CRAP BUY THEIR OWNERS.

Vehicles are like women’s shoes. They make a perfect model, then go and screw it all up with the next year’s model.

The idea that these should be sold before the warranty runs out is not practical. If these vehicles are financed, they will be most likely under water until after 3 years. It might be better to advise to lease only, if one must drive one.

Personally, I had great luck with my subaru. They are great cars, but you absolutely can not beat on them. If you drive them like a normal car, they are fine

Great review Mark !!! Enjoy your weekend 🇨🇦

Modern manufacturers... built DOWN to a price to cut out a few cents.... All to be disposable and unreliable. It's thanks to accountants pinching money to improve profit margins for shareholders.

I was just driving by the local Ram dealership and noticed on the showcase row, they had 2 Tundras and a Tacoma that looked fairly new. 😮

Yup, With Issue After Issue, Past Me Some Tissue, Cause I'm "Crying A River" 😭🤣🤣🤣. Literally "Spot" On Review, Mark ! 💯

Great channel choked full of great advice. Thank you for pointing out the money pits

Had a 2005 StI and was one of my favorites… took good care of the 2.5l engine and was still strong at 130K miles only needed synthetic oil changes every 3k miles ... did an ecu tune to pull about 40 additional hp. That one was always fun to drive and never let me down.

Excellent information.

Fix Or Repair Daily...😢 My warranty is about to expire on my bmw x3 should I trade it or get an extended warranty , I really want to keep it a year or 2

The name of Volkswagen's Tiguan SUV is a combination of the German words for "tiger" (Tiger) and "iguana" (Leguan), pronounced "TEE-gwan":

I know I’m repeating a previous comment, however, I’m so thankful for your advice to buy a naturally aspirated Camry v6. 34 MPG highway and years of reliability ahead.

I have a fleet 2024 Dodge Grand Caravan with 15,000 kms on it. So far it's burning 1L of like every 8000kms between oil changes. Is that normal, all my previous Dodge Grand caravans never burned oil, 2019 and 2017 models. Thinking of buying out this off company, worried about the oil consumption. Uses 0w20 synthetic oil.

Love your channel.

Great video! Honestly for VW SUVs Your best bang for buck is their first and second gen Toureg. Fully in line to the Porsche Cayenne(s) The differentials and very capable to rock climb mountains. Excellent as a daily through any weather. Or even build into an overland. Which is one of the best vehicles to acquire or build for the near future coming.

I had a Volkswagen Atlas rental, it was a nightmare to drive in a snow fall. The sensors would get covered with snow and alarms would be blaring loud non stop. It's not smart enough to realize and disable the sensors and just have a warning light. The Ford Explorer rental I had would give warning and disable the sensor as it realised it's covered. Atlas noooo drove me nuts.

As far as the Buick Encore GX. Was this on any year Encore GX if not what year and does this also include the regular Encore and what years ? I hope you can clarify thank you .

4xE needs to be top of the list

I bought a sti, now I have STD’S! 😂😂😂

My dad always told me, stay away from Ford, if you can. Ford was always known for quantity, not quality. I never owned one Ford, so far.

5:57 the whistling and humming noises keep the driver awake during their boring road trip 😅

My 04 Lexus rx330 went 430K … I sold it for 4500 😂 when used cars were peaking in value…

2008 Ford explorer owner here with over 200,000 miles on it and I'm planning on driving it until it's just completely broken I am going to drive it till it won't go another mile lol screw buying a new vehicle for over 10k lol I can't afford 7k right now even if I wanted to smh next vehicle I'm buying is a Toyota Corolla because cheap on gas and can get 500k+ miles on one if you do proper maintenance it could last you a lifetime

Today’s cars are far more complicated than they should be. These cars are highly prone to constant breakdowns, although in today’s age, it’s not a necessity to go running to the repair shop every single time a feature of the car breaks. Just do without it. The blind spot warning system on my BMW 428i convertible doesn’t work and frankly, I don’t miss it. I just placed those oval blind spot mirrors on my side mirrors and whale….no more blind spots. Other than that, this car’s been rock solid reliable. It’s only got a 4 banger, but that little engine puts out the equivalent of a V8 built in the early 2000’s. And it gets great mileage. KNOCK ON WOOD!!! BMW’s aren’t exactly known for their reliability. But this car hasn’t just been totally free to repair (there’s yet to be a single repair), it’s been cheap to maintain as well. Of course, it certainly helps that I only drive a few thousand miles per year. Annual maintenance has yet to exceed $100 per year. As such, even though its warranty has expired, I decided to keep it, because I have no doubt that I could quickly find myself behind the wheel of a troubled car. So when it became time to add an additional vehicle to my stable, I looked backwards and purchased a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V. Sure, the gas mileage is less than steeler, but it’s extremely reliable, especially compared with today’s cars. And it’s a gorgeous car.

I live 15 minutes away from Fords LAP Where the Escape is made. I believe with Ford having over 10,000 employees here in Louisville, it's mostly people who get the employee discount from Ford buy the majority of the escapes. Ford has KTP here across town building the F250, F350, Expedition and Navigator. Ford vehicles here sell very well. Employee loyalty with the discount helps Ford sell vehicles.

If my car stops running without me shutting it off ,the stealership better call 911 when they see me driving in

I don’t want a new car unless I can get one without all the “safety suite” crapola and with a way to check fluids without having to put the car on a lift, and NO RUBE GOLDBERG ENGINEERING!! I’m not gonna hold my breath waiting

I'm glad he mentioned the nissan products. I had 3 maximas and they all had the same issues. Great engine, lots of suspension issues, terrible transmission. A/C compressor issues, window issues to name a few. When my last maxima hit 60k miles it got very expensive to maintain and a "technicality" with my warranty was the last straw. I dumped it quick and traded it in. If you buy one you better get a good warranty and make sure you read and understand it.

I’m getting collector plates for my 2000 Chevy Tahoe w/ 63k original miles and garaging it (tho driving it once a week). It’s my spare, quality vehicle.

I've got a 2019 Nissan Murano. 73K and it hasn't missed a beat. Bought it brand new. Hasn't made it's way into the service department yet in 4 1/2 years. Can't even say that for some Toyotas and Hondas I've owned. Hopefully my luck continues. Bought a million mile or 15 year extended warranty just for the transmission.

There was a time where Ford tried to market their way out of their poor quality with a marketing campaign “Quality is Job 1”. So many commercials I almost believed it. Your cars to avoid series are informative and hilarious, thanks!

Simple old vehicles No problem. New Generation model many issues. I'm driving my 2010 BMW 3 Series normally 500 KM non stop on any Canadian Roads always.. never had any issues. It's now 238000 KM , pretty much BULLET PROOF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION . solid build and smooth on any driving conditions or whatever weather.

What about the Chevy Malibu last Gen? Or current which this year is the last. 1.5lter turbo makes me nervous but otherwise I think it's a great looking car and decent mpg

I had a Pacifica 2018 that got about 100,000 miles, no problems , I traded it off for smaller vehicles and got 32 miles a gallons. I could not ask for a better van. And traded for a Cherokee over 60,000 miles, no problems. If you take care of it, it will take care of you, SIMPLE, all so had a NEON every one oh their junk like all Dodge except I got 400,000 miles from my car, and still running 🏃‍♀️ when I got rid of it. And the head had never been off. Never replaced the STARTER, replaced the TRANSMISSION at 240,000 miles. Outside of that, it was my biggest problem. The fastest I've ever been in it was 116 mph still climbing, Mary made me shut it down. We were in her mom's car and got it 110 and floated out, would not go any faster. CHEVY Corsica. On HWY 250, going out of Seymour south down by the park below, there is a stop sign I went from that stop sign, and when I got up to the Park I would be going 100mph or faster , I would have to slow down because of City police. But I had my stepson with me. Jeffery . The car had 5 or 6 miles on it at the test drive , I had never ridden in a 4 banger that ran 24:56 like this 132 hp that was 95 unless you bought the two cam versions had 150hp mine 132 had a lock up tork converter when it locked up you new it. And you say we'll that's not so much, JUST LOOK AT THE OTHER CARS OF THAT SIZE IN 95. THEN CAME SRT NEON 230HP TURBO Mine was a 2.0 natural loved my NEON it would not lay much rubber but it wood go. On old 31A from Columbus IN south was a short pull over to pass someone, some guy tried beat me to the single lane in a Nova his car started slowing down and Smoking, should not have messed with a NEON 2.0 lol

I have a 2020 murano awd platinum no problems 29,000 miles, also I use o own a 2009 murano 140,000 miles I gave to a relative and it's also going strong. Like you said in your opinion!!!! I would buy a nissan over a ford any day of the week.

Thank You‼️🏁🏆

the Tiguan was the result of a contest they held to name this vehicle...the two highest submissions were for "tiger" and "iguana", so they merged the two to make this strange car name...

I am very disappointed maybe even angry that new cars are shit. I have a Jeep Renegade 1.4L Turbo 4 cylinder. It drives good, BUT I had a turbo replacement at 90.000 km. It is now almost 7 yrs old, I still love it and keep it, because I see nothing worthy to buy. All have 3 cylinder turbo and electric motor. Solution, we go back to the old fashioned technics, V6 or even V8.

Thanks for this! I have a 2016 4Runner that I bought new. She only has 11k miles, so even though I'm lusting over the 2025s, I think I'll keep her forever....

The commentary was great as always.

I’m not surprised that our host wouldn’t have one. And all the things he pointed out on the Subie, are as bad or worse at Ford, Ram, and on and on. But if you look after it, sure is fun

Ford Bronco Sport 4 cylinder is great, the 3 cylinder is a concern.

Ok can you tell me which Subaru can last for long time and which year i would buy for better reliability?

What ever happened to “FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION “????

Dodge Grand Caravan around 22 minutes? That's a Chrysler Pacifica. I have one and it's been great. Let's just say most vehicles have issues at times.

Regarding the name’Tiguan’. It is a conglomeration of ‘tiger’ and ‘iguana’ But regarding the carbon fouling. This was addressed across the line in 2018, yes they do get some build up like any engine, but the excessive build up isn’t much of a problem post 2018.

I really don’t get it and I have been around quite q while. Do they test these things before unleashing them on a trusting ,unsuspecting public?. Should I add uninformed? When we lived in Phoenix Az years ago we saw groups of same model/ make cars all heading out to the desert and coming back at night. I know they all have test tracks and Engineers. What happened ? Too many trick cute gadgets. Pretty paint. Smells great. Duh? P.S. Close friend just purchased a New Bronco. Pretty I said,what engine? …………..uh,,,I don’t know! True.

Most of these engine failures can be indirectly attributed to these insanely high mileage requirements from the government. Have to make them smaller and smaller, and to make up for the lack of power, a turbo gets strapped on, and all the plastic parts to save weight. Designed to fail. Bring back large, under-stressed engines. Trade mileage for reliability.

It seems as though new vehicles are engineered with planned obsolescence. You're better off buying a good used car or truck made well before all this technology crap was inserted into them. Tried and true NA engine and solid transmission is the best bet.

That Bronco fix? Anyone else remember the 71 Pinto fix? The one that could catch 🔥 fire in a rear end collision? Ford's fix was a half inch thick piece of Styrofoam between the bumper and the gas tank 😂

In my opinion and experience, Ford has produced some excellent engines, including the 2.0 non-turbo, 2.5 non-turbo, 4.2 V6, and 3.5 V6 non-turbo.

I have a 2021 Escape. Four recalls so far.

Sounds to me like we all just need a bicycle like my favorite artist J. Cole. Uber will suffice on rainy days and for groceries.

The cracked injectors are on the 1.5 3 cylinder eco boost engines

I dont need a vehicle with all the electronic bells and whistles Just basic guages and radio. Simple and reliable

What is the white residue on all these vehicles?

New cars and trucks are shit today no quality and way overpriced also No looks they all look the same boring

The Grand Caravan in the US is called Pacifica on purpose so buyers don’t associate it with the model it is replacing which was riddled with years of problems. The Tiguan name I read somewhere can’t remember, I think is a combination of “Tiger” and “ Iguana”. Don’t ask me why!

The Ford Bronco Sport is built on the Escape unibody, while the real Bronco is built on the Ranger platform (body on frame)

Tiger plus iguana is tiguan. If that makes sense

I got ab STI, sounds like some kind of disease 😂

It’s interesting to me that these car reviewers are quick to point the finger at the car rather than the person that maintains and drives them! How a person takes care of their vehicle matters!

Wow...and I thought my 1980 Yugo was a pile of junk! At least it was cheap! Seriously...I'm 71 and have owned and been around a lot of good cars since my youth. I'm in shock there are so many troublesome vehicles out there where millions of unsuspecting car buyers have wasted good money fixing their "rolling junkpiles." It sounds like a Communist plot to me.

Love the jokes mark keep it up

I liked the Ford Escape back when it was a boxy SUV. My company had a few in the mid 2000s. So in 2019 we went looking for my wife car. I saw and drove the new one. Man it was ugly, weak, loud, and boring. I told the sales man unless they were giving it to me I would never own one. He was not happy.

I have a 2014 Escape and that year model didn’t have all these issues with the turbo 2 litre engine. The suspension problem is usually a worn control arm. Easy to repair. No coolant intrusion, etc. Mine is at 100,000 km (60,000 miles) and still going strong, provided that you take care of the rust than develop at the bottom of the front doors. Knocking on wood.

The only STI is it blow up are highly modified I've got a 2015 with 250,000 Mi and I've never put a dime into it

The Four Tops 1965: "Now it's the same old song but with a different meaning since you been gone." Unfortunately, Mark, this list of vehicles follows the lyrics above year after year. Nice synopsis...

I'd stick with Toyota, Honda, Mazda, and Subaru.

Well I guess Toyota is still the King.🙏👍

New FORDS, Fix Or Repair Daily! But that’s the same story with most of the vehicle manufacturers now days. Junk! Stay with the older stuff, the bugs have been worked out of them and ya can fix them yourself. With cheaper parts. Most likely with less money one would put down to purchase a new one.

Really? I read the Bronco Sport got the JD quality shout out

O M G. This guy knows squat about cars. I was waiting for him to go off on the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Everyone does.
