As part of a large analysis involving more than 300,000 cars, experts examined over 20 types of possible malfunctions — from harmless trifles such as squeaky brakes or sloppy trim, to significant failures: engine, transmission, electric drive, batteries, and charging systems.
As it turned out, some models proved to be so unreliable that within just a few months of operation, their owners had to stand in lines at service centers.
The worst indicator in the anti-leader ranking was achieved by the hybrid Ford F-150 — it became the most problematic among all models covered by the study.
The least reliable new cars according to Consumer Reports:
-
Ford F-150 Hybrid
-
GMC Canyon
-
Chevrolet Colorado
-
Rivian R1T
-
Ford Escape Hybrid
-
Jeep Grand Cherokee L
-
Jeep Grand Cherokee
-
Nissan Frontier
-
Jeep Wrangler
-
Ford F-150 Lightning
-
Genesis G70
-
Volkswagen ID.4
This list does not mean that every owner of these cars will inevitably face troubles, but the likelihood of unexpected surprises after purchase is significantly higher than the market average.
