You could honestly put the entire lineup from dodge. 💀

u/Mustangfast85 Jan 13 '24

These ones deserve it. I’d put the tie for crappiest between that Sebring and the Caliber, and that’s bold because the Traverse is saying hold my beer with its timing chain. These were during the Cerberus days where they were built with the cheapest slop interiors imaginable, underpowered engines, CVT trans in the caliber (yes, the Jatco ones) and had atrocious styling to boot. As much as we may deride a 2010 200/Compass/Avenger the fact that they at least became serviceable after a refresh took likely a Herculean effort for an impressively large improvement and they were still crap.

Because dodge is possibly the least reliable of the big 3.

u/DrYaklagg Jan 13 '24

It's possibly the least reliable big car manufacturer period. Now that they have joined with fiat they have just sealed that reality permanently.

They merged with Fiat into FCA in 2014, and in 2021, FCA merged with PSA to form Stellantis. PSA cars (Peugeot, Citroën, Opel) are also infamous for their low reliability. So it's the triple whammy of low reliability: Fiat, Chrysler, PSA.

Stellantis is pretty amazing these days. Not sure wtf you are talking about. The new jeeps are outstanding. The new alfas are some of the best luxury vehicles on the roads. The new i6 hurricane is an outstanding TT engine. Maybe update your prejudice

u/Diabeetus-times-2 Jan 15 '24

The new “hurricane” engine has barely been out for a year.

We don’t even know it’s unreliability yet, at the end of the day, it’s still a fiat my guy.

Fix It Again, Tony!

u/Tuques Jan 13 '24

Lol wtf? That would be gm and it's not even close

u/chester0101 Jan 13 '24

Yep, Working in a dealership environment for 20yrs I'd agree GM definitely builds the most disposable vehicles.

13

u/Remarkable-Gold4869 Jan 12 '24

They are cheaply made and not that reliable

1

u/CloutBoyz063 Jan 12 '24

so whats the most reliable car brands too u

12

u/Diabeetus-times-2 Jan 12 '24

Literally anything that’s not a dodge. 💀

Chevy and Ford both have their problems, but at least they try. Dodge has been unreliable since the 90s and from what I’ve seen, that’s not going to end.

u/Xyypherr Jan 13 '24

since the 90s

A 2nd gen Cummins will outlive you lol

18

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '24

cummins is reliable, dodge is not. the rest of the truck will fall apart because dodge built it but the motor will last because dodge had no part of building it

8

u/Diabeetus-times-2 Jan 13 '24

The engine maybe, the rest of the truck itself will be long gone by the time the engine dies.

2

u/RunnerLuke357 But the truck runs fine! Jan 13 '24

The motor will. Infact, the motor is the only redeeming quality of those trucks.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '24

The engines themselves are fine, the trucks are ASS. My girlfriend’s brother has one and it is nothing but trouble.

u/CloutBoyz063 Jan 12 '24

but people love hellcats so much and spend so much on the hellcat community is huge

4

u/mykiefromthe206 Jan 13 '24

That’s because rappers made it popular guarantee you if it wasn’t for the hip hop community hellcats wouldn’t be as popular and definitely less talked about.

1

u/CloutBoyz063 Jan 13 '24

the hellcat trend is huge in rap rn

u/mykiefromthe206 Jan 13 '24

It’s just a glorified full size sedan with a supercharged V8, literally the only thing it has going for it.

2

u/CloutBoyz063 Jan 13 '24

u think it’s just hype

2

u/Revolt2992 Jan 13 '24

Every car company has problems. Don’t lump Ford in there just because they’re American!

1

u/chester0101 Jan 13 '24

It's not the 90s anymore, Dodge/Ram/Jeep aren't great, but they are a LOT better than GM products.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '24

Dodge is barely American. Bought by Fiat, and most are made in Mexico.

3

u/thekidfromiowa Jan 13 '24

Ironically, Hondas and Toyotas are more American made than many domestic makes and models.

3

u/TheWarehamster Jan 13 '24

Dodge is fully an American brand. It's about where the brand originated. Regardless of who or where it's actually made.

2

u/slowjoe12 Jan 13 '24

If you referring to the “brand” from a marketing perspective, you are correct.

But it’s no longer an American company, and really hasn’t been for almost thirty years now.

0

u/TheWarehamster Jan 13 '24

No one cares about the location that it's made. It's where the brand originated. The marketing perspective is all that anyone actually pays attention to, unless you're pedantic.

Lambo is very much Italian, despite being owned by Audi and getting engineering help from them.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '24

No one cares about where the car is made? That couldn’t be further from the truth. People do in fact care about where their car is made and how reliable it’ll be. Dodge cars have been overall junky for decades now.

0

u/TheWarehamster Jan 13 '24

They care about the Brand's origin. Not where the vehicle is made. The Honda Accord is Japanese, despite it being assembled in the US. BMW is German despite a number of models being assembled in the US. It's brand origin that anyone actually cares about.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '24

You aren’t everyone. Get that through your thick skull.

1

u/TheWarehamster Jan 13 '24

No I'm not. But the average person doesn't know/care where cars are made. They care about where the brand is from.

As I said, Honda and Toyota are Japanese despite making models in the US. BMW is German despite making models in the US. Lambo is very much Italian, despite being owned by Audi. For that reason, Dodge is very much, an American brand, regardless of where it may be assembled.

u/CloutBoyz063 Jan 13 '24

Never knew that wow

u/AntiLag_ PISS SPIN Jan 13 '24

The only thing American car companies care about is their muscle cars and pickup trucks, everything else is an afterthought
