Because of the brand name. But I see more of them dead on the side of the road than anything else, especially the less expensive ones. They also use substandard designs and materials throughout. The number one reason? It’s a Chrysler.
Perhaps… but for whatever it’s worth they tend to be Patriots, compasses, liberty’s and cherokees. I do see a sizable number of Grand Cherokee’s and one wagoneer which was a head scratcher to see abandoned already.zzand wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 8:01 amHave to disagree. Can't speak for the less expensive models, but the fit, finish and materials in mine are on par with any other vehicle in it's class. The it's a Chrysler thing is old and for a long time was true, but new owners of the parent company have taken quality seriously and it shows. In 6 years my Charger had two minor recalls while my daughter had 6 at the same time with her Ford.
Better stick with 5L or 2.7L F-150.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 3:02 pmThe Ford Maverick and Ford Escape hybrids are now being recalled due to engine fire risk:

1.5L is an engineering disaster (2014-2019)!zzand wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 6:07 amMy oldest daughter has always been faithful to Ford, until her last purchase. She drives a Fusion, getting rid of it as soon as it becomes more affordable to buy. At one point she had 6 outstanding recalls on it. My favorite was the steering wheel could come off in your hands. She is planning on going with Honda as she already has one of their mini vans and it has been trouble free.
Chrysler is out performing Ford on quality by a mile right now.Rate This wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 8:25 amPerhaps… but for whatever it’s worth they tend to be Patriots, compasses, liberty’s and cherokees.
