Chrysler is celebrating its 100th birthday, as it was founded in 1925. Their website says a century of innovation. Chrysler should be celebrating 100 years of poor quality, which is why they've gone bankrupt several times. They used plastics in the interior and have had unreliable tranmissions
115
Ford, GM & Chrysler are always trying to reduce production costs by doing these cost-cutting measures. This is why their quality and reliability isn't very good. Unfortuantely, all the technology and safety features have made cars more expensive to build
104
The Chrysler Corporation was founded 100 years ago in 1925. However, they are not Chrysler Corporation now since they were bought by another company
29
Fiat-Chrysler already had poor quality/reliability, so Stellantis should not have bought them in the first place. Americans don't want Italian junk
22
Besides leaking, if you don't use the sunroof (meaning you don't open it), the mechanism that opens it can rust and then it won't open. You should open the sunroof from time to time to make sure it works properly and it doesn't leak. Therefore, I can understand why mechanics don't like sunroofs
18
Just like the manufactures don't want to sell small cars in the USA, they don't sell small trucks in USA probably because they think small trucks won't make enough profit
14
GM & Ford made a mistake jumping on the electric bandwagon. They could learn from Toyota.
12
That is way automakers cost cut - putting a basic backup camera with a small screen as they don't want to spend allot of money on something fancy
9
A problem is that on newer cars, manufactures (including Toyota) have gotten rid of the transmission fluid dip stick which means you have no way of checking it
8
It's a shame that GM, Ford & Chrysler don't know how to build good quality & reliable compact cars like the Toyota Corolla. These Big 3 would make to cheaply to cut costs as they didn't want to spend allot of money on a small car
6
The Toyota Corolla LE is $23,000 as it has gotten more expensive. Mitsubishi is soon to discontinue the MIrage
5
Leave flushing to your toilet, not your car
5
If a car has high mileage or some problem and they can't be certified, then the dealer will sell the car to an auction
5
Just like Ford, GM has discontinued making sedans as they don't make as higher profit margins as SUVs and trucks. The Chevy Malibu is aging and is behind the Toyota Camry and Honda Accrod
4
If you look at a Toyota Corolla that lives up north, check for rust in the underpinnings of the car
4
yes, once your cars warranty has ended such as ToyotaCare, there is no need to go back to the dealer except for a recall
4
Another problem some Hyundai and Kia's don't have engine immobilizer which can prevent theft
4
I've also heard a story of a mirror melting on a Honda Civic
4
LED lights don't burn hot and last much longer. They also use less electricity and are brighter then halogen
3
Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth were never good quality. But they got worse after Fiat bought Chrysler bringing America Italian junk. I think Chrysler was the worst of the Big 3 automakers in terms of quality and reliability. In the 1980s, Lee Iacocca thought Chrysler cars were just as good as the Japanese
3
In April, Scotty stopped posting videos at 3:30 PM
3
This is a Sentra from the early 2000s before Renault bought Nissan, so Nissan's reliability hadn't gone down hill yet
3
oh look it says Made in Mexico. Toyota has 10 plants in America, so they should be making more of their cars and trucks in USA not in Mexico
3
Some parking lots have narrow/small parking spaces as they were designed for sedans, not big trucks or SUVs
3
A common problem on Toyota Corolla and Camry's from the early 2000s is missing hubcaps - it's a design defect. They come loose and fall off
3
Even for the Japanese automakers, sedans are not selling as high volumes as they used to
3
It used to be that the next model year would start arriving in July-August
3
It also wears out the starter faster
2
Hyundai announced that they are ending their 3-year free maintenance program staring with the 2026 model year
2
Smoking causes cancer which can shorten your lifespan. For example, some celebrities died of lung cancer in their 60s. If they had not smoked, they may lived into their 80s
2
Cadillac is just a more upscale luxury version of Chevy and Buick
2
Kia, a koren company is not like the Japanese automaker Toyota. They are being cheap and don't want to spend money to fix the problem
2
Sadly the American auto workers don't take pride in building good quality cars as the Japanese auto workers do. They only care about making money
2
IF you have OEM Toyota windshield wipers, you can just replace the blades by buying inserts at the dealer
2
Yes it's a shame that cars are not built as well as they were in the 2000s. Unfortuantely, the cost of materials and the high tech on modern cars have made cars more expensive to build, so automakers are looking for ways to cut costs
2
Scotty stop posting car repair videos at 3:30 PM
2
Honda runs out of refrigeration sooner than a Toyota
2
Toyota has 7 plants in America and Honda also has a plant in America. But that doesn't mean they make all the models in America. They assemble some in Canada, Mexico or Japan
2
Unfortuntately some dealerships and repair shops will try to sell you parts you don't need so that can make more money
1
It's Stellantis' fault that you have to pay. That is stupid that they do that
1
Ford, GM & Chrysler have come up with some stupid designs and as Scotty said they do this in order to save money on production costs
1
Yes, Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep all went down hill when Chrysler merged with Fiat
1
Bucee's is planning on building more new gas stations such as in Virginia
1
The cover is missing on the engine, and look how clean it is. Scotty doesn't care to keep his engines clean
1
Samsung makes most of their Galaxy smartphones in Vietnam which are sold in the USA. Samsung says they will have to raise prices because of the tariffs
1
GM uses cheap plastics to cut costs
1
Ford has neglected Lincoln. Lincoln had gotten upset when Ford decided to stop making sedans, as Lincoln wanted a sedan to compete with Cadillac which was still making sedans
1
Good advice Scotty. Once the ToyotaCare warranty expires on your car, stop servicing at the dealer
1
Since small cars have a lower profit margin, GM, Ford & Chrysler don't want to make small cars
1
Audi is just the luxury version of Volkswagen just like Lexus is the luxury version of Toyota
1
under Stelantis. They are not their own individual company
1
@chicagofineart9546 yes, I agree those features are necessary. Unfortunately unless a safety feature is required by law, GM, Chrsysler and Ford made it optional o charge extra for it
1
Automakers are always making excuses why they removed the spare tire or another feature when it just to cut costs. Back in the day when my father bought a new car he made sure to get a full size spare tire
1
People should know that Toyota didn't make the engine, Suburu did. That means it is not Toyota's fault.
1
These best seling trucks is why GM, Ford & Chrysler stop making cars/sedans
1
The Chrysler Corporation was founded 100 years ago in 1925
1
Software cannot fix hardware problems. These manufactures don't want to spend allot of money of a fix, so they come up with a cheap solution. Why doesn't the government force the manufactures to make an appropriate solution even if it is expensive
1
GM, Ford & Chrysler don't follow the quality philosophy that Japanese automakers believe in and since they are cost-cutting to reduce manufacturing costs, they have poor quality control
1
The greedy automakers don't want to take in the tariff costs and pass it on to the consumer. GM & Ford you can't assume everyone has allot of money to spend
1
If you buy a nw car, you should pay if off within 3-4 years not 7 years
1
Those new VW vans are taller then the other minivans sold by Chrysler, Honda, Toyota and Kia
1
Don't know why GM's quality went down after their 2009 bankruptcy. They now have only 4 brands or 5 if you count Hummer.
1
The Japanese automakers aren't stupid as GM, Ford & Chrysler are jumping on the electric bandwagon
1
As you know, some insurance companies have stopped insuring Hyundia/Kia's as they were stolen so much, so its likely they won't be paying to replace your broken glass
1
Since the cabin filter is out of side, people forget that they have it and never change it. Check your owners manual
1
Good point Scotty. We don't need distractions while are working. We need to concentrate at what are working on, so that we get it down on time and correctly
1
Toyota's from the late 90s and early 2000s were overbuilt or overengineered which is they last a long time. Sadly today's Toyotas are not built as well
1
Yes those tablet scan tools are Android based. The problem is that Apple does not license its operating system to manufacturers. They lock it down limiting it to just the devices they make. WIth Apple, you don't have choices like you do with Android and Windows
1
GM, Ford & Chrysler don't like to spend money to fix problems so they come up with excuses why they should not have to fix it
1
I've seen GM/Chevy vans were the paint has faded or has come off showing grew marks like this Suburban
1
I don't know if the Ford F150 has adaptive or radar cruise control, which automatically slow downs and brakes when traffic slows, but it is not supposed to slam on the brakes
1
Unfortuantely the Americans (GM, Ford & Chrysler) are not as well built as the Japanese (Toyota & Honda)
1
I don't know if Ford & GM builds transmission to cheaply, but they don't seem to know how to build a reliable transmission as the Japanese automakers do
1
Toyota still makes the Corolla hatchback, which replaced the Matrix. It was the Scion iM which became the Corolla iM. Then officially called Corolla Hatchback when redesigned in 2019
1
I don't know GM thinks people will like subscriptions. They are just looking for another way to make money
1
The Crown is not a normal sedan. It is a crossover and so it is a little higher off the ground then a regular sedan. Larger sedans are not popular any more
1
Japanese have better quality control then GM, Ford & Stellantis Chrysler
1
Geo Prizm was a Toyota Corolla
1
Dealers want to sell you parts for your car that you don't need as they have high overhead cars
1
Today's Jeep is not the same Jeep from 25 years when Mercedes owned Chrysler. There quality has gone downhill since Chysler merged with Fiat and now owned by Stellants
1
Unfortunately automakers including Toyota have removed the transmission fluid dipstick, so you have no way of checking it
