Consumer Reports reveals least reliable cars for 2025

Consumer Reports has released its annual reliability survey for 2025, identifying the least reliable cars, trucks, and SUVs. The survey analyzed data from over 300,000 vehicles, focusing on the frequency and severity of issues across 20 areas. The list includes models that have at least two years of reliability data. Problems with critical components, like the powertrain, are weighted more heavily than minor issues, such as a squeaking suspension. This year's findings highlight that while new cars are generally safer and more reliable, some models still stand out as less dependable. Consumers are advised to consider these results when shopping for a new vehicle.
