Another car maker banned from my life forever

Adds a whole new angle for arguing in favor of the /fuckcars movement.
-
At least you didn't spend $40k for the privilege
-
Yeah, but I don't own the bus

I got the Pacifica plug in hybrid because it was the only minivan with any electric option. I have never regretted it so much. Every time I turn on the car it wants to connect to my Wi-Fi and update. I don't want updates I don't want my car to change and I don't trust that they're gonna do something shifty if I connect it to the internet. After having it for a year the transmission went out so I try to bring it in but it takes 6 weeks before they can see me. Finally they can see me and they take 2 weeks to look at it and diagnose. Then 4 more weeks to fix it. Meanwhile they keep telling me it should be done next week every time I call. Absolutely worst experience ever.

Why do I keep seeing companies blame shit like this on “a software glitch”? Like, fuckin, no it’s not. And no one believes your bullshit either.
-
Mobile phones and earbuds solve that problem for the most part.
-
always a "software glitch"
-
My Japanese export 2016 doesn't either. Aside from the fact that we flashed the head unit with custom software, there's nothing for it to connect to in my country anyway.

This zero-tolerance permanent unforgivability mentality is super common now. Why would you not consider buying a Jeep in say 20 years, when every person responsible for making or implementing some heinous decision that outrages you right now probably won't even work there anymore?
-
Yeah that's my reaction. Also public transportation changed my life for the year and a half I used it, by eating up zn extra hour a day of my life. My 15-minute each way car commute became 50 each way, very consistently. I finally got fed up with it and went back to driving.

American cars are so bad. We did ~3000k of driving last year in the US and noticed that most of the cars on the road were new. Didn't take long to realise why - between terrible driving standards causing them to crash regularly, terrible build quality causing the interior to fall apart, and needing to drive EVERYWHERE so you flog the thing out in about 12 months vehicles are practically disposable.
There were late model cars still rocking the flashing brake light as an indicator wtf lol
-
They've sucked for the last 20 years, why would the next 20 be any different?
-
I personally agree Jeeps suck, but that's dodging my question.
-
Some buses are also smaller than some US cars.
-
I mean it's not really... Once bitten, twice shy. After 20 years of being bitten I'm pretty much amaxophobic towards the brand.
-
Does it have to be? Are you not exposed to billboards while driving? Radio ads?
Public transit has other benefits. You can read a book, play on your phone, and don't have to worry about parking.
-
It's a Jeep so you're really gonna need that warranty too, lmao
Had a chat with a fella on that other site a while ago who said he wanted to buy another Grand Cherokee after being from a Jeep family and previously owning Jeeps... And ended up getting a lightly used BMW X5 for less money, more power and a better interior. It's probably going to last him longer too. And that was one of them fancy uber complex V8 X5's that Americans prefer. If you get one with the inline 6 (particularly the diesel 6 that isn't available in the US lol), the engine is also rock solid.
-
What I'm talking about is the popular stand that offenses against public opinion are unforgivable and unredeemable. Nobody should buy from company X, nobody should listen to musician Y, nobody see any more movies with actor Z in them, etc.
-
the cybertruck does that. it's still allowed.
-
No wonder they don't sell it anywhere else - wouldn't meet local safety requirements.
I liked a recent BYD Shark teardown video by some American mob... Their biggest complaint was that it was "overbuilt" lol
Fire up them tariffs lads, protectionism is the only thing ensuring sales.
