38: Jeep Commander
As the market for SUVs continues to heat up, prices are also going up, which drives many consumers into the used car market. The Jeep Commander is an SUV that was made for a few years and it featured a seven-passenger design with an optional V8 engine. While this seems like a recipe for success on paper, the reality was an SUV that had a lot of reliability issues from the jump. The Mercedes derived transmission has a good real of reliability issues and it can cost a pretty penny to replace. Oftentimes the cost of the transmission will supersede what was paid for the SUV itself.
The boxy design was appealing to Jeep traditionalists who just couldn’t warm up to the Liberty or the Compass. But when it comes down to reliability the Jeep Commander is going to cost a lot more to own then it is worth. You might be inclined to opt for one of these because of the affordable resale value, but you’d be better off avoiding the big Jeep altogether.
