20 Worst Used Cars to Buy (Avoid These Money Pits)

4. Dodge Journey (2009–2020)

Plagued with brake issues, electrical malfunctions, and a lackluster transmission, the Journey is unreliable and underwhelming. Its cramped interior and poor fuel economy make it a poor family choice.

5. Jeep Patriot (2007–2017)

Don’t let the rugged looks fool you. The Patriot suffers from CVT transmission failures, cheap interior materials, and lackluster safety scores. Resale values are consistently low.
