Phrasing!

Yeah, I find it weird when some people rag on certain vehicles just because of hearsay and not personal experience.

I guess you’ve never owned a Jeep. As an example, why is it that the the Jeep Wrangler has one of the highest resell values of any car???
Also what Beamer said.

Yep. That dude is obviously just taking one example of a bad car (which ALL brands will have from time to time) and blowing it up out of proportion. I've seen morons do that so many times it becomes pretty obvious now.
Not surprising seeing his comment history. There are some on this site that really make me wonder...
Don't worry about it, moron, JD Power's 2017 reliability rating safely trumps your anecdotal presumption.
Dodge, Jeep and Fiat are 4th worst, 2nd worst and worst, respectively. Since it's all the same company (FCA), I'm going to go with them being pretty damn unreliable.
But keep wondering there, champ.
It’s been documented time and time again that these “independent reliability” companies (ie. Consumer reports,etc) are bias. It also has also been documented that they “interview” specific groups to get the outcome they are looking for. Same goes for politics.
Show me a comparable vehicle to the Jeep Wrangler, that has the same capabilities, gets abused off road, and keeps going! There is a reason the Wrangler, in some form, has been around since the 1940s.
Drive your “reliable” Toyota or Honda through the rough mountains of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado year after year and the true reliability numbers will surface! I could go on and on!!
Once you own a Jeep, then come back to me with facts! Until then keep you inaccurate opinions to yourself.

I take that back. I finally had to replace the sparkplugs and wire harness, and valve cover seal from the factory ones.
I had the drive shaft rip loose in my Land Rover...
Do you know how LOUD it is when your drive shaft isn't connected at the diff end? Spinning around like a goddamn propeller, bouncing off everything.
Total repair bill: £70. When your Honda does break down - on the other side of town - what'll that cost you?

I'd have to say that's a fair statement. I also think it depends on how one treats their vehicles. I've had pretty darn good luck with most of them, even non-mopar brands.
My Son-in-law has had nothing but trouble with his Diesel RAM... but he's modified the heck out of it, so he keeps blowing transmissions. He accepts that as part of the performance modifications he has made. /shrug
