You MUST Avoid These 2024 Money Pit 2024 SUVs!

Hey guys John Stamos giving great car recommendations!

I offroad with the Bronco Sport badlands. It works great and has a much better suspension then a ford Focus. It really just appears people want to hate on the Bronco sport yet I just don't know why. It ranked one of the highest in poor weather, it has ridiculous fuel economy and given the right trim level can off-road decently.

Funny you mentioned the GM SUV door handles that break. After the third time I returned to the Dealership with the same broken door handle they refused to warranty it because they said “ I used my doors too much”. It’s the last GM I’ve owned.

I'm surprised not to see a Rover on this list.

Did an 800 mile all-highway trip in a V6 8-spd Grand Cherokee a few years ago. Nice drive, but 23 mpg was a disappointment. Return trip, same route was in a 2.4 liter 9-spd Compass... it downshifted 1 or 2 gears for every upgrade and got about 27 mpg. I have made the same trip several times in my own Honda Pilot V6 6-spd and averaged 27 mpg. I'll keep the Honda.

The Bronco Sport is higher priced because it has AWD standard. My Bronco Sport has been perfect.

Why can't North-Am car manufacturers get their shit together and build reliable vehicles ? They have had the same issues for years yet they can't fix them ??!!!

I own a 2020 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 liter V8 and I use it for towing a boat and now has over 110,000 miles no problems so far. Its a 4X4 and have done some off roading as well, no rattles.

All makes and model are made to be disposable. It’s the new era of what we live in now. Older models are better.

“Ford Exploder”….😂😂😂 I spit my coffee on that one….. Just add “catastrophic engine failure” to that beast, and we have the total package! Love your content! 👍💪

I have a 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands ( 2L 4 Cylinder), and it has been great. The engine issues you're talking about are for the 1.5L 3 cylinder version, and this is the first time Im hearing about paint issues.

More detail on the Bronco Sport. The BS platform is built on an Escape platform however it is more robust than an off-the-shelf Escape. More like an Escape on steroids without getting into specifics. The Fuel Injector issue which Ford addressed with a TSB drain hose fix was shady to say the least. Rear brake noise is another common issue however Ford did issue a recall with new caliper guide pins and boots which seemed to eleviate the noise but not completely. The OEM pads tend to generate a "moaning" noise in high humidity environments when backing up first thing in the morning. Replacing the pads with ceramic pads plus installing the new and improved Guide Pins eliminated the noise in my case. On the plus side, the 1.5 is very easy to modify without getting into the internals or the ECU. Adding a quality CAI that uses the factory air duct plus a quality exhaust system is definently the easiest mod you can do. For conservative drivers like myself those two mods increased my MPG over 25%. That is a conservative number, sometimes more if the wind is in your favor and you stick to the speed limit in Crusie Control. Other than that, well you have to be a Ford fan to appreciate a Bronco Sport. Its not a Toyota, it will require constant maintenance and loving care. In other words; at some point it will be in the dealers shop for something other than a oil change.

We had a 2021 Bronco Sport and we have a 2022 Bronco Sport with the 3 cylinder we have had one recall for the fuel injector. Does decent in the snow we only had to take it to a dealer for an issue once and it was covered under warranty. The 2022 is a lot better than the 2021 was.

I own Bronco Sports and don't have any problems with them.

Brothers Tahoe Transmission failed catastrophically and he took it into the service department. They gave him hell about doing anything about it, he had mechanical insurance on it luckily and the deductible was about $500 but the sad part is it took 4 weeks to get his vehicle back. Insane!!!

The way I see it, due to the pay increases for the plant assembly workers (overpaid general workers at GM, Ford, Dodge), manufactures overpricing the vehicle (especially Dodge), quality control, I think GM, Ford, Dodge will need to drastically reduce their prices or face going bankrupt or ask to be bailed out once again. When China enters the North American market, that will also be the end of the three auto makers. Japanese vehicles will be the high end/reliable vehicles and the Chinese vehicles will be the cheap disposable vehicles. As for electric vehicles, just a pipe dream that these idiot leaders are trying to push, never happen until technology advances drastically and they start building infrastructure. I don't claim to predict the future, just using common sense.

So basically you are saying don't buy any suv other than a Honda crv. Pilot, or a Toyota Rav4. Most of those claims you had about the exterior damage looks like extreme terrain judging by the looks of the vehicle.

@exoticcarplayplace do you see any improvements with the Explorer STs? I figure they may put more care into that top end model as opposed to the base.

I can agree with the door handles. I have a 11’ Sierra and have had to replace multiple handles over the years

Great channel. The older I get the more I just want a reliable car. Toyota and Lexus are the only manufacturers I trust for reliably and resale value.
