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.
I wonder if some of this is just that a guy who paid $70-100k for a
Cadillac or a Jag is a little less tolerant of a little misalignment
of the door or a squeak behind the dash than a guy with a $20k Versa
Could well be. But if there are more misalignments or squeaks in the Cadillac or Jag then the
various Lexus' then the ratings are doing their job.
The CR survey covers about 25 different 'topics' in the auto section, like sound system, navigation,
engine electronics, brakes, transmission, etc. Once a topic is identified, further questions are
asked if the topic was a problem area. I wouldn't think may folks would whine about their
transmission if their problem was a squeak in the dash.
