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 Based on what I've read the current crop of Jeeps have a terrible reputation for reliability problems and being outdated in design in general.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. Generally, the Jeeps, Dodges, etc are at the bottom of the CR ratings. The ratings discussed here are the reliability ratings from surveys. Maybe the Jeep owners don't do surveys, or don't want to admit problems, or the Jeep is #11 on the list of unreliable cars. Just pay no attention to Consumer Reports. I find it useful for much more than just ratings of products. |
