7 of the Most Impractical and Totally Unreliable SUVs and Pickups Money Can Buy (5 of 6)

 

3. Jeep Grand Cherokee

JD Power gave this one really low marks for its powertrain dependability. It also ranked poorly in the overall category, and because it didn’t even have the saving grace of scoring well in it’s features and accessories, this one comes in at number three. The one thing the Grand Cherokee did do well at was its body/interior durability. Big whoop.

 

Consumer Reports gave the GC its absolute lowest ranking for its reliability. Nuf said.

 

 

2. Jeep Cherokee

Continuing the trend, another Jeep, and another Cherokee. This compact crossover SUV scored awfully in JD’s powertrain, feature/accessory dependability (a big red flag from us – even the failures above scored OK in this!) and overall. Even its body was rated at only average. Oh dear, oh dear.

 

Consumer Reports gave this 2014 automobile its lowest possible rating in terms of its reliability. It did get a little saving grave in the 2017 version, where it at least bumped up to two out of five in that area. Hardly game changing, though, and justifiably sitting at number two on the list.

 

So, mirror, mirror, what is the worst one of them all?
