Jeep used to be a treasured American brand. But after Stellantis bought the iconic brand, workers say execs slashed jobs and quality to drive up profits. Now customers say the new $80,000 Jeep Wagoneer has mechanical issues fresh off the lot.


Video dives deeper than problems with the new jeep highlighting worker grievances on the line, customer experience failures and union struggles.

The 4.0 inline 6 was bulletproof.

I had a 1986 cj7 4.2 literally blow a hole in itself and dump all of its oil to the ground and keep on trucking.

Drove it to the next exit, parked it for the night at a hotel, and it even cranked up the next morning to get lined up for the tow truck.

Three grand later I had a brand new engine in it.

When you have enough slop in the bearings, it won't seize up immediately.

Lucas oil is also a miracle worker for older engines
