Consumer Reports released its annual ranking of the most- and least-reliable cars and brands.
Toyota and Lexus top the reliability list, while Chrysler, Jeep, Volkswagen and others fall near the bottom.
Pickups might be America's sweethearts, but they're far from reliable.
The segment came in absolute last place in Consumer Reports' annual reliability rankings, behind even hybrids and EVs, which have seen an uptick in owner complaints.
To compile the list, the magazine collected surveys from owners of more than 330,000 vehicles. The surveys covered 2020-2023 model-year vehicles and some 2024 models. Consumer Reports asked owners about 20 "potential trouble areas" to create a score between 1 and 100 for each vehicle. Those scores influence an automaker's overall reliability ratings.
These are the 10 least-reliable brands this year, according to Consumer Reports.
