An entrepreneur who runs a rental car business has revealed which vehicles drivers should never buy - and the verdict may surprise you.
Kiauna, from Atlanta, has gained a loyal fan base on TikTok of more than 17,000 followers thanks to her captivating lifestyle content.
Most recently, she candidly dished on all the cars she does not recommend buying and why.
The list included models from popular makers such as Jeep and Mercedes Benz.
In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 463,000 times, Kiauna can be seen sitting in the front seat of a vehicle as she reels off her list and why.
She began: 'I'm bored so I figured let me do a video of cars I would never recommend buying after having 15 cars.
'Number one, the Jeep Wrangler. It literally caught on fire. It's a brand new car and that one end up being dinged a lemon so they're paying that one off.'
According to Progressive: 'A "lemon" is a term for a car with a significant defect or malfunction, that makes it unsafe to drive, although the exact definition can vary from state to state.
'Examples include non-working or faulty brakes, engines, transmission, or lights.'
Kiauna continued: 'Next, the Dodge Hornet is a no no. It had electrical issues from when I bought it but now it won't even drive.
'It has been sitting there for three months but because it has over 20,000 miles they won't deem it as a lemon which is stupid. It won't drive. I can't even drive it. Trash.'
Next up, she complained about an entirely different problem.
'I had four Dodge Chargers and a Challenger and nothing maintenance wise was wrong with the cars.
'But I live in Atlanta and there is a huge theft ring here and when I tell you they want these cars... All of my cars have been stolen at least once and then one of them they can't even find.
'So just be careful with that one. But nothing really bad with it.'
The car expert then branded a Mercedes Benz as 'the worst car of all.'
'Let me tell you why I voted this one the worst over the Hornet.
'The Hornet, this is their first year making that car. I expect there to be some issues. Benz has been around for a long time and I had issues the most out of this car.'
She elaborated: 'Number one, you could not open my driver side door. You would have to push it open because it would stick.'
Kiauna then said the navigation screen would always break before adding: 'Another big issue was in the wintertime when it was time to take my baby to school.
'We couldn't even get the doors to close so they would open after you pour hot water on it.
'It would open but then you can't close them back because it's like something inside was probably frozen.
'So when you would close the door, it would just bounce back open...
'But the last biggest issue was the water pump. Out of nowhere, the car would start shaking like it was about to explode.
'Turns out there was a water pump recall on the vehicle but my issue is, after the water pump issue was fixed, the car never drove the same.'
She captioned the video: 'This is just my opinion per my experience! Please do your own due diligence.'
And her insight was soon flooded with thousands of comments with many drivers also adding their own suggestions.
One person wrote: 'Been telling people you can’t miss with Toyota, Honda or Lexus! You just can never miss.'
Another added: 'If you're a regular person, just get a Honda, Toyota, or Mazda, and stop losing money on an already depreciating asset.'
Someone else shared: 'Toyota or nothing. Eight cars and finally settled with my Toyota and I’m done - riding this until the wheels fall off, then imma get them put back on.'
