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


Why should the buyer of a new inexpensive car be tolerant of a poorly
assembled vehicle?


Surprised the list of the least reliable cars doesn't include Jeep
vehicles.


Me too. Based on what I've read the current crop of Jeeps have a
terrible reputation for reliability problems and being outdated in
design in general. My daughter can't wait until her lease is up on a
Jeep Liberty she has. I've driven it. It's terrible. Transmission
shudders at slow speeds but she was told it's "normal". My brother also
bought a Jeep Compass a couple of months ago, replacing a 12 year old,
rotted out Dodge Ram pickup. His shutters also at slow speeds, so
perhaps it *is* normal. He's already shopping for a replacement for it

Not much of a sampling but consistent with many of the on-line reviews.


I had problems with my 72 AMC Jeep too but I beat the **** out of it.
