you may love jeep but to act like they're a benchmark for quality would be quite ironic
Huh? Where did you come up with that assumption???
Anyway, Jeep has put out some very reliable automobiles over the years. The old AMC-designed 2.5 and 4.0 engines were very reliable. There are many YJ, WJ, TJ, and XJs still on the road with several hundred thousand miles on them. Those engines are some of the most bulletproof designs ever produced. They may not be the most efficient or the most powerful, but I would say that they were/are a benchmark for quality when it comes to reliability.

When Chrysler bought Jeep quality went down the drain.

Thats fine but when everything else fall a part around the engine who cares how great it is.

Man, I've never seen a car's interior and exterior fall apart faster than my father's 1998 Chrysler 300. Disgusting.

They do seem to run forever. If you do drop a tranny in a Wrangler or Cherokee, they're always easy to find a replacement locally.
More trouble for Toyota

At this point any recall Toyota has makes news.
For the record they repaired my 4Runner the bill was around $5k (zero out of pocket for me). If Ihad taken it to my local wrench it would have been a cheaper repair since he diagnosed the correct issue right off the bat. The dealer just kept throwing parts at my car en till it stopped making the noise.
In the end the issue is fixed and I am keeping the truck for now.

That can be said about every major company in regards to recalls.
