Avoid These Used Cars That Buyers Say Are Money Pits.

Ram 1500: 2014, 2016

The Ram 1500 has been a standout performer for Dodge, boasting over a decade of successful sales. However, the 2014 and 2016 models earned a "never buy" rating due to significant issues.

Potential buyers of the 2014 or 2016 Ram 1500 should brace themselves for the potential brake system and power component failures. Given the steep costs associated with electrical repairs, it's wise to exercise caution with anything power-related.

Volkswagen Jetta: 2010 Through 2016

The Volkswagen Jetta endured a rough patch throughout the 2010s, marked by dismal reviews and consumer ratings, particularly for the 2010 through 2016 models. The litany of issues associated with this model should serve as a red flag for prospective buyers.

Should you consider purchasing one of the listed model years, be prepared for expenses related to power equipment, interior finishing, and the audio system. Climate control systems have also been known to encounter issues with this make and model.

Ford F-250: 2008, 2010, 2014

While the Ford F-Series lineup typically garners praise, the same cannot be said for the 2008, 2010, and 2014 F-250 models.

Super Duty (F-250) models from the listed years were plagued by numerous failures, ranging from powertrain issues and brake control system malfunctions to fuel system breakdowns and more. For those seeking a dependable workhorse vehicle, it's advisable to steer clear of the Super Duty models from these years.
