This is going to hurt!

Don't EVER buy a Jeep, if you're a Consumer Report fanatic, though I've owned them since 1982 and NEVER had the first issue with Wranglers, Jeep Grand Cherokees, Patriot, Compass or the Cherokee ....their mag is a rag..:B (and I've NEVER cared how they rated vehicles anyway..went by my own personal experiences, or those of my family..

I'm glad Jeep has worked for you. My 05 Cherokee had the transmission rebuilt twice in first 15k miles and they still never fixed it right. We opted to trade out of it and went with another brand. For some reason I've always had more issues with Chrysler products than other brands. My Ram 2500 needed the water pump changed twice and they were constantly recalling it over steering issues before I sold it but I'll tell you that I loved that truck.

I've had very little issues with my Ford vehicles. My wife's Explorer only ever needed a blinker bulb and the passenger vanity mirror replaced under warranty. Her Expedition has needed nothing along with my pervious F-150 and now F-250. The Sync sucked in my F-150 but like others have said, I'm not a technology guy so I didn't care since I never used it.

For GM, I've only ever owned one truck which was good except the interior was cheap. No recall issues with it and the powertrain was pretty solid.
