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.

Jeep people will defend the Wrangler, but most of the rest of their lineup is competing with Nissan to see who can get the most sub-prime borrowers to buy one and it's brutal too because they're so unreliable that they'll cost these people way more to own than if they'd bought a better brand to begin with.
