  Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram,

  Not just a Jeep thing.

    All the brands of vehicle that have some of the worst historical reliability!

    Holy cow. They’ve done the impossible - they’ve found a way to make a Dodge into a shittier vehicle. I am awestruck.

  A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.

  But sadly I'm allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.

    I don’t recommend anyone buy a Jeep, not because of the ads but because they’re built like shit. Quality has been in free fall for decades while prices have skyrocketed. Death wobble issues (Wranglers), motor reliability out the window, rust, more rust, just not worth it.

    I owned a 94 Cherokee and I loved it, and even though that 4.0L straight 6 had problems at least it would still run with bad piston rings, mysterious battery drain and holes in my radiator. The new ones just can’t compete.

    You don’t need to be allergic to advertisement to avoid shit like this. The fucking audacity of companies these days. There is no place they won’t get to shove the damn things to the detriment of every product, service, and personal moment. If they could put screens under your eyelids you’d have to watch drug ads one blink at a time and your dreams would be sponsored by AT&T.

      Yeah there’s a huge difference between advertisements in free media vs advertisements in a car you almost certainly had to get a loan to purchase

    They have parts that you have to replace right away so you don’t get stuck too. There are definite drawbacks.

    There are plenty of better vehicles that aren’t outrageously expensive just because they can be.
