Top 10 MOST UNRELIABLE Cars Of 2025 You Should Avoid

[@Raider19582]

They've been making Vehicles for 100 years and instead of getting better they are horrible.

[@LuisUrbieta]

What would have happened if all cars were perfect and reliable?

[@jsz2619]

They care more about their stock prices than customer satisfaction. If they report better earnings each Q, that raises their stock prices. To achieve that, they gotta have bigger profit margin. Reduced manufacturing quality and higher prices.

[@LuisUrbieta]

@@jsz2619 I feel like if cars were 100% reliable and free from harm I feel like we would all be happy

[@Chronoic]

Thats what happens when you put more Tech in your cars instead of better parts.

[@LuisUrbieta]

@@Chronoic yeah I feel like if cars were perfect that would be better

[@Chronoic]

When all you want is the best Tech in your car, but you could care less if your car drives or is reliable.

I wish some reliable brand would pick up the iconic Jeep brand when Stellantis goes bankrupt and put real quality in it without the price gouging.

I feel like every car brand needs to start making bicycles because no car is going to be 100% reliable or perfect but I feel like we might discharge cars and go with a bicycle. Plz reply

chevy Vega was praised for its styling, handling, and economy. Car and Driver named it the best economy sedan in 1971, 1972, and 1973. Motor Trend described it as enjoyable, comfortable, and functional. so much for reviews.

Motor Trend, back in the 80’s, named the Renault Alliance Car of the Year. It wasn’t too long after that they left the US market for poor sales.

[@gatorcock79]

I bought a new Vega in 1972, drove it for three years in FL, then moved to LA where I commuted to work 70+ miles/day for 4 more years. The engine was dieseling when I sold it in 1979, but it was a fun and reliable little car.

I've definitely had a lot of trouble with my 2024 Genesis GV70 2.5T Sport Prestige. The 3D gauge cluster went out. The cruise control early on had glitches. I have a constant rattle at low speeds and reverse that seems to be coming from the drivetrain, and now my trunk release mechanism is on the fritz.

[@wholeNwon]

One of my oldest friends suffered through Genesis ownership. It developed a major drive train issue due to a defective differential. Forcing the dealer to honor the warranty took months. When the finally did "fix" it, the shop he used for tires and his wife's car service commented to him that his differential wasn't installed correctly. He would up having them fix it right. It's been OK since except for a continuing electrical issue that he's just living with. I would never buy one. Only Lexus, Toyota and Honda for me. And I wouldn't buy a new car anyhow.

[@tonyn3227]

Yet people keep buying them,they just opened new Genesis dealership by me, which surprised me.

[@michaelhoapili4688]

I see so many GM newer cars selling as former lemons.

[@Alec15000]

As a current ‘24 Cadillac lyriq owner, the amount of issues this SUV has is ridiculous. I can’t reverse when it’s raining as it slams on the brakes thinking there’s someone behind me. I had to turn auto - braking off. What does Cadillac do recently as an update? They made it where when you’re in reverse, a button pops up in the reverse display to easily access to turn auto-braking on or off. Crazy! Everyone on forums was so happy of this new convenient “button” feature, yet nobody is furious there’s no update to fix this. And don’t get me started with the display being too dim in the mornings to the point where you can’t see your display or gauge, and there’s no way to brighten it. I tried making the gauge max brightness, manually having the headlights turned off, and also putting it in “day mode” in the display - NOTHING makes it brighter. Makes my previous Tesla seem like a Lexus/toyota

An interesting topic would be the best (and the most honest) Toyota, Mazda, Subaru and Honda dealerships in the USA and Canada. They are the best cars, who’s the best who sells them?

[@davcuts2897]

MINI was in the top 10 for the most reliable brands for 23, and 24. All the sudden they don't have enough data. That makes no sense. Plus I find it hard to believe people aren't buying Mercedes-Benz not to be able to rate them. Consumer Reports might need to start polling more people than just their members.

It's a surprise when these 10 vehicles were named by Consumer Reports of their low quality! These companies have been at producing cars for a very long time! Don't complain that the Japanese brands are doing really well. I heard that even buying a Toyota Corolla hybrid - one has to wait for close to 2 years!

[@tonyn3227]

[@BoopSnoot]

I told peeps that Nissan is perfectly average in reliability, and not to believe all the FUD. Sure enough, on both short and 10 year reliability study, Nissan was just above mid-pack and perfectly fine especially with the big discounts off MSRP available now.

[@bradleyscobel3222]

Nissan’s reliability is actually fairly good. Nissan’s problem (and what completely destroyed its reputation for making reliable cars) was the CVT transmission they used 10 or so years ago. It was a bad transmission if not meticulously (an unrealistically) maintained but Nissan kept using it and then not standing behind it when issues happened. Nissan has since improved it and never had major issues with its non-CVT transmissions, but the damage has been done.

CR rated the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma under the Ford F-150 in their 2024 truck scores.

[@kamest]

The Volvo XC40 EV is a nightmare of quality control on four wheels. Sometimes three wheels..

[@scottzappa9314]

At this point stick with older Toyotas and Hondas, maybe Mazda. The naturally aspirated engines always or generally last much longer than turbocharged engines. And that has been a problem when turbos are all that's available for a given range and year, especially smaller ones. There's a lot of stress on those engines comparatively. Apparently Honda has finally dropped the all-turbo line up for 2025.

[@superultradan]

I have a 2017 ford escape and just had to have the engine replaced. ☹ These days it's just hit or miss with most car brands. However, if it looks pretty people will buy it. 😂

[@AlJay-v4h]

What are you talking about ? Mazda has no issue, wasn't even part of this video. The CX50 Hybrid just came out, and it uses the most reliable Hybrid System produced in the market, Toyotas CX 50 is certainly no issue so what's you post about since it's not real

[@landonredhair9750]

The new Chevy Equinox EV has been amazing. I think they figured it out.

[@JackOfHearts42]

I got one of these too and am enjoying it, but it's too early for me to tell on reliability. I don't understand how they can make valid reliability claims when analyzing only 2 current generation models from such few brands. The low Lyriq score was concerning though, because it's very similar.

[@10tenman10]

This may be true but I'll never find out. I'll never look at GM nor Stelantis

[@PaulMyers-q1m]

VW were once were the gold standard that why are in bad shape now got cheap that sad 😢

[@JackOfHearts42]

Hmm, with such a small sample size, I just can't trust this list. I trust CR generally, but they need proper data to give informed analysis. They have good 10+ year data, but I go to other sources for recommendations of single model years.

[@craigmclane5610]

I have learned to be skeptical of Consumer Reports ratings. I have no idea why, but their ratings have led me to disappointment on a wide variety of purchases. And, as you observed, their comparisons are by no means encyclopedic. Regarding reliability experience, as a 17 year owner of a Volkswagen Rabbit/Golf with a non-turbo 2.5L 5 cyl. engine, I can report that your observation regarding the expense of repair is spot-on. The engine itself is bullet-proof, however it does have recurring issues with a few peripherals like the vacuum pump, which often seem to require an experienced VW mechanic to correct. That results in a pretty high annual maintenance cost. The big drawback to this model was the transmission, which was not designed to last much beyond 80K miles. Neither VW nor VW America stood behind their product at all in that case (unsurprising considering their cynical corporate approach to diesel emissions) and their poor regard for their customers is why I won't be buying a second VW.

[@bkrishman]

People are still relying on Consumers Reports?

[@jane4264]

Consumer Reports doesn't rely on outside advertising for their income so their business can't be bribed by corporate cronies to favor one over another. I've subscribed to CR since the 1970s. They are almost never wrong on their evaluations of what I've purchased from their recommended products.
