Consumer Reports' 2016 Most Reliable Car Brands | Consumer Reports

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We crunched data from the owners of more than 740,000 vehicles to find the most, and least, reliable car brands. Two trouble spots that caused problems for some brands were infotainment systems and recently developed transmissions.

    Yes, but It is even worse than that. People complaining that the 'radio' being confusing to use is a 'problem' to them. Radio isn't broken, peoples' reading of the manual is broken. Same with transmissions. Not really broken or bad, just different feeling than a 'regular' one people had 10 years ago. Rarely is a transmission dying or a radio not actually working.

    Yep, that the biggest flaw with CR and JD Power self reported studies. Even the blue tooth not functioning well or being too confusing counts as being undependable. In fact, most issues on these reports are due to tech, like infotainment and connectivity. A better study would actually compare repairs performed.

    People get mad whenever I warn them about Chrysler Products but I really hold no malice towards the company. I've owned a 1997 Dodge Dakota Sport 2WD. I traded it in for a 1999 4WD I got about 120,000 trouble filled miles before it was finally declared unsafe to drive due to frame rust. My sister purchased a 2006 Jeep Commander against my repeated warnings. The car had serious electrical problems including the horn blowing and lights flashing at unexpected intervals. The Jeep Dealer claimed it was a short in the wiring harness and charged her $1200 dollars to replace it. A few weeks later the problem returned. I went on an owners club site and found out that several owners were having the same problem. Apparently the electronic seats were cutting into the wiring harness causing the short. We asked Chrysler why they were charging customers for repairs instead of issuing a recall...no response (of course). The sad fact was I loved my truck when it wasn't in the shop. It got me through some of the roughest winters on record and drove like a dream (again, when it wasn't in the shop). People need to stop taking these testimonials as personal attacks and listen to what owners are telling you. Chrysler vehicles have had the longest track record of unreliability in the industry. Reliability ratings are based on owner experiences not Consumer Reports opinions.

    Giorgio Fabietti First of all, statistics are not facts. Secondly, it's surprising that you defy your logic by disregarding the statistical reports that show Audis to be very reliable. Interestingly, I've noticed Buick always ranks higher than GMC and Chevy...You and I both know that mechanically speaking, they are the same shit, but why the disparity? Mechanically speaking, they are the same, so why are Buicks ranked higher? Shouldn't they be the same? Yes, they should, but I believe the answer lies in the type of person that drives a Buick. Buick drivers are more likely to better take care of their car in contrast to a Chevy owner. In other words, it's a people problem.

    Heartagram Surely the way someone treats a car modify it's reliability, you get a point but i wasn't denying that. As i wrote in my first comment i'm surprised that Audi was ranked 1st in terms of riliability by Consumer Reports because there are alot of other sources that rank Audi at the bottom of engine reliability and among average of general raliability. I'm talking about 1 engine failure every 27 cars, to put it in perspective Honda has a failure ratio of 1 in 344, mercedes 1 in 120 etcetera. I honestly don't know how Consumer Reports ranking works. I don't know if it is a "percieved reliability" from owners, if it's made working with car insurance agencies, if it's made from an irrevelant survey or what but i guess that they just take the numbers of failures or problems that a car has, not the entity of it. Because a company that is among the worst regarding engine failures doesn't deserve the first rank in any reliability ranking in my hopinion. I'm not a native english speaker btw so i'm sorry if i made some mistake.

    As someone mentioned in response to another comment, Audi doesn't sell as many diesels in North America, relative to gasoline engines, as it does in Europe. If the diesel engines are the source of the brand's reliability issues, that could explain why Consumer Reports finds Audi so much more reliable than its reputation elsewhere would indicate. Consumer Reports measures reliability with a survey of CR subscribers. The survey generally asks how many issues the owner has had, when they had them, and what sort of issues they were. They only report reliability if they get above some threshold number of responses for a given make, model, and year. Reliability is mostly relative to other models, though a model can get very good or very poor reliability marks for having fewer or more issues per car per year than certain thresholds (e.g., less than 1% or more than 3% of cars having problems per year), regardless of how the competition does. I think Heartagram has a good point about the type of person who buys a brand having an influence on its reliability. Buick also benefits from having a lot of models that haven't been updated in a while, so the worst initial-quality bugs have been sorted out, but Buick drivers are probably also more cautious and sensible than drivers of, say, BMWs or Fiats. Similarly, Subarus are popular with people who prioritize practicality over performance, and the two exceptions to that rule (the BRZ and the WRX) are also the least reliable models Subaru makes, according to CR.

Use the search feature to look for a model and you will get a chart showing problem rates for each model year. Also see truedelta.com for reliability data based on owner surveys, including newer years. In tradein quality, Lexus and Toyota are definitely the best, but Subaru, Mazda, VW, Audi do not score well, despite what CR says. On the other hand, GMC and Chevrolet do pretty well at least with some models.

Toyota's 2AZ-FE 4 cylinder had issues with rear head bolts stripping and blown head gaskets in the early 2000s. The same motor also has oil consumption issues but Toyota seems to be making good on those by offering to do a test and if it meets the criteria they will do a rebuild.

    +Keegan Bradshaw Honda Civic, aside from the ECM made in Thailand, mine started going at 60k had it changed at 100k miles, the circuit board coating was crap, the chips lifted and it lost power making slow right hand turns and on the freeway at 60mph. Nearly got rear ended by a semi coasting to the side of the road. Manifold was cheap metal and catalytic convertor was part of it, so that was another $700 to replace. Other than that, the 02 Civic you couldn't even tell the car was running it was so quiet and smooth. Dealer always used Mobile 1 Semi Synthetic motor oil, not like my new 2012 Focus, crap Motorcraft oil and battery. My FIRST new car in my life and Ford has me at the shop twice a year for recalls since I've owned the damn thing, the rest they just pretend they can't find an issue with shaking drivers seat every 4 seconds when you're sitting in it, but there are 2 TSB's about it now. MPG has gone down bad in the last year and it only has 10,000 miles on it. I'm waiting for someone to say Ford will pay us money back like Kia did when their cars were not getting the MPG they claimed, customers were being refunded up to $2,000 after buying them.

    Not for the long run, ok if your only leasing for a few years. If your buying and want a reliable car for hundreds of thousands of klms that's not going to cost you a small fortune to keep up than Toyota is forsure the etter way to go. I just hate seeing people waste their money.

They register cars on their own company and when there is a reliability survey they give feed back about their own products. LOL! They are the scam artists. LOL! “Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.” (Auto Blog)

The diesel issue in the news is about cheating, not reliability. It's also nauseating to me that the Big 3 US car makers received taxpayer bailout money and the executives move more and more assembly from the US to Mexico and Canada. The two least reliable vehicles overall, Fiat Chrysler 500 and Ford Fiesta, both built in Mexico. Most reliable brands Lexus and Toyota, built in Japan or have Japan built engine/transmission and %Japanese parts frequently.
