This vehicle is the worst vehicle I have ever owned when

This vehicle is the worst vehicle I have ever owned when it came to reliability. Full head gasket failure at 80,000 miles. The vehicle was well maintained, even early oil changes. Full head gasket failure 10,000 miles later. Over $9000 in repairs. You never feel secure or comfortable in this vehicle because something is always breaking. Even during the very rare times the vehicle is not having issues, it runs terrible.

I have a 2018 Cherokee latitude plus.

I have a 2018 Cherokee latitude plus. More than 140k miles. Very nice SUV. I think most of this bad reviews are not fair. I will buy a new one in the near future.
