Topic starter

Shop owner and Master Mechanic The Car Wizard recently sat down to list vehicles with the following engines/transmissions to avoid at all costs.  This will be a help to our members who are looking for their next vehicle either now or in the future.  Scotty has already covered these, so no surprise which vehicles made the list.

Summary

Run away from these:

  • 01:00 Ford Triton
  • 03:30 Nissan CVT (Cube, Maxima, Altima, Rogue, Sentra etc.)
  • 06:50 GM Ecotec 1.4L Turbo (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Sonic, Trax, Cruze). Zero inventory.
  • 09:00 GM 3.6L V6 (Enclave, Acadia, Traverse, Caddy ATS, CTS, CT6, etc.)
  • 11:40 Fiat 3.6L V6 (Dodge Caravan, Town & Country, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Journey etc.)
  • 14:45 Nissan 5.6L V8 (Titan, Armada, Infiniti, QX56, QX80, etc.)
  • 17:50 BMW M5

 

 

Notes:

  • Hardly anybody maintains vehicles. Think about that the next time you buy used.
  • Nobody rebuilds CV transmissions.
