From Peugeot and its faulty PureTech engines to Chevrolet and its turbo problems in models like the Captiva, this video is a warning to those looking to invest in a reliable vehicle. Learn why Land Rover and its oil pump problems, and Mercedes-Benz and its small, turbocharged engines have caused so many headaches for their owners.

We also tell you about the problems of the Chrysler 2.7L V6 and the Mitsubishi 3.0L V6, which quickly gained a bad reputation for their design flaws.
