Jeep = Junk

But enough of what I think. Check out all 3 parts of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk

Holy sweet mother of pearl. I've never seen that. I'm not surprised in the least though.

Not trying to derail this thread entirely, is there a car company that is actually good? It seemed to me they all have major flaws of some type.

Acura.

I fully intend to purchase a Rubicon to cruise the woods and roads doors off, top off, widshiled down... outside of that, I'll be sticking with acuras. My 05 tsx got traded in when the transmission died at 230K. There was a small leak I didn't catch till the damage was done.

So I bought another 05 tsx with 85k. We'll see how it goes.

Bought a brand new TJ in 06. Nothing about it impressed me. I enjoyed the topless/doorless driving. Beyond that, it was an awful vehicle.

In my personal and professional opinion and in no particular order; Honda, Toyota, and Subaru make the best vehicles on the road.

Subaru's sedan looks pretty good but I'm not a fan of the looks of a single other model from any one of those brands.

Toyota 4Runner.

Chrysler has been making garbage for years. The dealerships count on you coming back for warranty work and WILL treat you like a red headed step child when you come in for repairs.

The Korean brands (Hyundai, Kia) seem to be reasonably reliable.

Owned 2 jeeps, and driven dozens from rental agencies, and they all suffer from steering wheel play.

I watched a friend pull another friends Patriot out of a creek with his 4-runner. Quite funny.

I've owned Jeeps for decades. The Patriot isn't a Jeep.

I think Consumer Reports described it accurately. When I bought my first Patriot in 2009 their description was (roughly) that it was an SUV made to be used on pavement most of the time, with limited off-road and four-wheel-drive capability. That description to a 'T' was what I was looking for and was one reason I bought it. I needed it for muddy and rough dirt road conditions at the ranch, but mostly it would be used in town.

I always considered it a cross between a city vehicle and a 'real' Jeep. I have not been the least dissatisfied with the 4-wheel drive, or how much power it has. Sure, I'd never go rock-crawling with it, but it has never failed me on a flooded road, rough terrain, or a just plain crappy dirt road.

But leaving me stranded is an unforgivable sin. No more Jeeps.
