Worst Vehicle Ever

[Built6spdMCSS]

Me and a couple guys sitting here at work came up with a good discussion. Pretty much the worst pile of garbage vehicle we could think of.

I came up with the newer Land Rovers/Range Rovers, based on what people who I know have been through as well as the general consensus.

Figured this would make a good discussion here.

K cars were pretty bad. Yugo's, anything Renault, Caddy's with the 4100 engine were so bad owners couldn't even buy an extended warranty 🤣 Ford Windstars and Taurus' with the 3.8L engine. Headgaskets and transmissions as far as the eye could see. The old Quad 4 engine timing chains and head gaskets...

I was talking with a Land Rover tech and as bad as they are, fiat/Chrysler have a lower reliability rating. He said when the ratings came out the techs were pissed that they weren’t first in sucking.

My 12yr old humor laughed at that part, I know what you mean tho. 🤣

Any JEEP since NOPAR got their grimy paws on them. Even AMC was better! 😡

That may be true, but at least I can still buy parts for a Chrysler that is 10 years old.

Anyone remember the Lada cars that had an engine tick nobody could figure out? Rumor has it there was a reward (like 50k or something) for anyone that found the problem. I'm not sure it was ever found or rewarded.

Funny you mention Lada, one of my guys here at work said them too. Made in Russia I think..

Mid to late 2000s era Chrysler products are painfully bad, especially for a mainstream brand. Dodge Caliber, Avenger, Journey, 2nd gen Durango. Jeep Compass, Patriot, Liberty. Chrysler Sebring, 200, Pacifica, Aspen, and the ill-conceived Crossfire.

There were so many atrocities produced in so little time. A lot of them went from showroom floors to junkyards before they were even paid off.

In my experience any of the 3 Chrysler products I had owned.

The newer Range rovers is pretty spot on. My buddy just picked up one and its HOT Garbage. Went back to the shop 4 times in 3 weeks.

Worst car I've ever personally owned was an 83 eldorado. Lack of power and constant random overheating challenged my 16 yr old patience. I've steered clear of caddilac since then, until I got an 02 Deville with the Northstar v8, again with the random overheating lol. Both were used high mileage vehicles though. But that eldorado was in a league of its own.
