Here are the '10 Least Reliable Cars' from the latest CR reliability survey. The least of the least
is at the bottom.

Chevrolet Camaro
Mercedes-Benz GLC
Jaguar F-Pace
GMC Acadia
Fiat 500
Ford Focus
Ford Fiesta
Volvo XC90
Cadillac Escalade
Tesla Model X

All of these got 'one out of five' in the predicted reliability rating, based on the results of the
owner surveys.

Maybe folks are a bit more honest than we might think when it comes to rating their own cars.



Maybe. But I think when people are asked to participate in a survey
those who have had reliability problems are more likely to respond.

Whenever I read or hear such results I remind myself of the millions of
people driving around with no problems but no compulsion to complete a
survey form, positive or negative.

I probably get a request for a survey once a week from someone. Banks,
stores, Amazon, Nissan (ha) and others. I delete them as fast as they
arrive.
