I agree and yet I WISH they were good. I really liked the look of the Grand Cherokees a while back but I made the mistake of being a Consumer Reports subscriber. They just never get better.
I got stuck renting a Compass back East a couple years ago. Even a newish rental did not feel like a good car to drive. Just kinda cheap feeling inside and out. I usually am of the mind that all new cars are better than old. Not those. It's like they went out of their way to make a cheap car feel cheap to drive.
I simply don't understand the poisoned design culture of that company.

They do offer reimbursement up to a certain amount though ($150 or something?). An off road recovery will cost much more than that but it sure helps.

2004 XC70. Electrical issues that stranded the car in the first six months. Radiator leak. Basically every piece of the power steering system has leaked at one point or another. New motor mounts every 50K miles. New front control arms every 60K miles. Interior A/C fan failed. Shifter detent spring broke. Two starters. Flywheel needed to be replaced when starter teeth wore away (unrelated to starter failures; just one of a bad batch of flywheels). Power steering is leaking again; this time from the rack.

Drive it off a cliff. What a turd. Probably rides nice when it works though.

110,000 miles on my Chevy Avalanche and still going strong. Never touched the drivetrain.

My wife has beat my 2008 escape since new. Virtually trouble free. Change brakes, tires and oil. I did have a coil pack fail, but that's about it.
I would get another, but I think she wants something different, hence the Jeep question.
Probably get a Mazda 3 hatch. Better gas mileage than an SUV and just about as much functionality.

So have a look at this...
.
How to they manage to fairly rate a manufacturer with as many cars as GM and Ford. Some models are much more reliable than others. Do they take a sample pool from each of the different models or could the data be weighted more toward an unreliable model or vice versa.

Keep in mind the primary demographic of some of the nameplates. Buick and Lincoln in particular. “Problems reported” does not have to mean a major failure. They can also be petty little squeaks and rattles.
When I worked for Cadillac, I would drive customer cars, and I’d hear and feel things that were wrong, but the customer never complained about it. Because, well...c’mon you can figure it out.

Oh. I just realized that it might be taken as a race thing.
No I meant old people who can’t hear shit.
