    I'm old enough to remember when engines didn't last very long and needed a rebuild between 100k-150k miles. Then things got a lot better through the 90's and 2000's. I think peak reliability for engines was probably early 2000's for GM. The Ford straight-6, 5.8 and early 5.0 coyotes were pretty good too. Toyota was great through the 2nd gen trucks. Nowadays, I think we are seeing the downhill slide for ICE engines. Between govt regs and corporate cost cutting initiatives, everything is getting progressively worse.

    Lack of material to save weight is one cause. But the main issue is the government forcing EPA regulation mileage standards. All these vehicles are overly complicated lightweight technologically driven all to save one mile per gallon in the short term. But don't last in the long term. Good example active fuel management on GM and CVT transmissions in most manufacturers

    • @NobleOmnicide
      @NobleOmnicide 3 місяці тому +3

      Here's a crazy conspiracy thought: gov't forces ridiculous EPA regulations. Manufacturers produce lower quality engines to cut costs and try to meet regulations. Meanwhile, gov't subsidizes EVs to encourage sales. Customers see decreased reliability in ICE vehicles and turn to EVs under the perception EVs are more reliable. (Granted EVs have much fewer parts to fail.) Gov't gets what they want in more EVs.
      (Of course customers still are not fully embracing EVs and the current electric infrastructure would not be able to support everyone having an EV right now, but the gov't isn't concerned about consequence.)

      ​@@mdubz101 You're typical of the Jeep critic -- clueless. There are 4 general categories of them: (1) never/ever owned one, (2) owned an older one, (3) can't afford one, or (4) don't own/haven't driven a new one.
      The fact is current Jeeps (meaning 2018+ Wrangler JLs and 2020+ Gladiator JTs -- the ones that look like traditional Jeeps) are the best Jeeps have ever been. I don't even KNOW any Jeep owners here in my city who are having issues with theirs, except minor issues -- like I've had and like ALL brands can/do have (like my Honda did, several very expensive issues). Tell me which brands are flawless/perfect?
      Quick answer (not awaiting your stuttering response): None.
      And Jeep STILL holds its value (one of the BEST brands for that) over the DECADES -- why do people pay top-dollar even for used Jeeps if they were crap? And the PentastarV6 is fine. The issues with it (yes, the rocker-arms mainly) were YEARS GO (!) and that was fixed YEARS AGO.
      So get out of bed, Rip van Winkle, go to your window and remove the blackout-blinds, look out and see it's a brand New Day and HAS been for years now. You don't have to live under a rock anymore -- unless you insist (as many Jeep critics do or else they wouldn't have a job) -- or be an airhead parrot saying what you hear other airhead parrots say.
      But thanks for checking in, however please DO tell us what YOU drive and why it's superior to my or anyone else's Jeep. We await your enlightenment I'm sure.
      Oh, just to be "inclusive" (that liberal buzzword just for you) Stellantis just recently DID do a recall, true -- but for RAM, not for Jeep. As said earlier, NO recalls on my Gladiator, not even any TSBs issued. And none for the Pentastar, or else it'd apply to our Wranglers/Gladiators as well. So again, why is Ford, GM, Mazda, Toyota, and BMW with THEIR recalls "better" than my Jeep? They aren't. Which one of those "better" brands do YOU drive?

Recently father in law had to pull the nose off their 22 Cherokee to replace broken wire (inside, not visible) to fix codes due to shutter not opening. I drive a Chevrolet Silverado with the terrible afm and have yet to have an issue, but guarantee it will fail sooner than later. I was not trying to shit on just jeeps.

      One of the reason I chose the 2023 Pathfinder was because they kept the 3.5 V6 but finally ditched the CVT. They use the same 9 speed automatic that Honda has been using in their Ridgeline and Passport and transmission reliability has been good in those vehicles. I wanted a Toyota 4Runner, but their old 5-speed automatic meant terrible gas mileage and the 2024 4Runner with a turbo 4 cylinder? No thanks, I'm good.

    I'm a car guy and I follow the car market and everything about the industry every single day.
    What blows my mind is Ford had so many recalls in the last how many years? And I do not understand why the American public keeps buying their crap! Is it just out of ignorance do people not research what they're buying they do not look up recalls or manufacturer defects with the product that they are buying? The American public needs to spend a month at least researching the car that they want to buy and then figure out if you want to buy it or not. I would stay away from Ford until they get rid of Farley and start learning to build quality cars again. Until they start making their own parts and building quality cars in this country these are the problems you're going to have and put less tech in cars to the point where they're more reliable. This is for every manufacturer not just Ford . If car manufacturers here and around the world don't stop putting so much tech in cars you're going to have problems. You're better off buying a 90s or 2000s vehicle and restoring it from the inside out and putting the tech that you want and stuff that you don't want. It will come out to be less money than what you can buy from a lot and it will last a lot longer. There are some people out there that are Ford DieHard fans they've had Ford vehicles throughout the generations but people you got to understand the Ford of yesterday is not the Ford of today they're not going to be reliable anymore. You've got to change your ways or you're going to be one of these victims. There are plenty of car custom shops throughout the United States that we can restore a car from the inside out for less than $100,000 and you'll get what you want and the car will be more reliable than anything that comes from a factory.

      @@CJColvin I looked at the problem. The Titan is direct injection and the intake valves will accumulate carbon due to the PCV bringing back unburnt fuel/air back into the intake. There is no fresh gas being shot in before the intake valves to clean them like port injection. So carbon will eventually build up and become a problem. Does not matter what fuel you use.
      4runner does not have this problem because it uses port injection.

    I believe it is part of poor quality control and the lack of knowledge in the public eye of how to take care of a turbo engine. Letting it idle before you turn it off after a long drive, allowing the car at least 3 to 5 minutes before driving away esp if it’s cold out, lugging the engine, etc. Americans are used to having torquey engines not ones you have to spin up and tach up to get the desired result. Turbos increase efficiency but you have to drive the turbo rather than drive the engine if that makes sense. Turbos are wear items and will fail with poor oil change habits and stressful driving conditions like weather, traffic, or the carelessness of its owner.

Coupling with their 8 or 6 speed tranny. The 6 speed is just as old and the 8 speed is 8 or 9 years old. The coyote is good but the 10 speed is questionable. The LS 5.3 is an under performer but its longevity is not in question. You might as have trouble finding a good tranny with that. Nissan puts out a 3.8 and a 3.5l. Very good engines if you can get their 9 speed tranny. Avoid cvts. They will figure this out. I have high hopes for the hurricane and 3rd generation eco boost as far as modern engines go. Furthermore gm puts out a 2.7l turbo. Good reliability. Longevity is yet tbd

Sadly for the naysayers (generally, ignorant parrots), it's been fine: No recalls or even any TSBs issued on it. Not even for airbags. With all the "better" (right) brands having recalls, I checked again last week looking up its VIN in case Jeep has a recall I missed. Nope, still nothing on my Gladiator.
    Amazing...
    And it has one of the last N-A V6 gas engines nowadays -- I had zero interest in anything turbo (or even diesel). And the Generation 3 Pentastar is one of the best V6s available today. Does sit have some weak areas? Yes, but it's still a solid engine and I've had ZERO issues with any of it's "weak points." Well, at least so far...
    So much for the Fiat/Chrysler/Stellantis "crap" I bought, yes? So who "bought crap" now?
    Hmmm....I wonder. ;-)
    BTW, if I needed to buy a new vehicle TODAY (but don't as I'll probably keep my Jeep at least until 2029 when the Mopar Maximum Care warranty expires), I'd get another Jeep (Gladiator Rubi, of course) immediately and w/o any hesitation whatsoever.
