The caption for the clip read: ‘My opinion – three unreliable car brands.’
He said, “These are the three most unreliable car models. The first is the Jeep Cherokee.
“Listen everybody, I’m not the first to say this and I won’t be the last. Jeep Cherokees are not reliable in my book.
“You may have a Jeep Cherokee and it may be a great car for you, but I’m going off the average consumer and consumer reports.”
He then criticized popular car brand Nissan for its Rogue model, after which he apologized to drivers who often drive it.
“And now, and I’m sorry to have to do this, but the Nissan Rogue. Nissan has a lot of potential to make really, really good cars,” he said.
‘I have a love-hate relationship with Nissan because they make good and bad cars. The downside is of course the transmission.
“So Nissan Rogue, you’re on the list. Sorry, but not sorry.”
