Consumer Reports has released the results from its latest Annual Reliability Study, which gathered reliability data from over 500,000 vehicles. While some models moved to the top of the list, 12 models have performed so poorly, that Consumer Reports has taken away their coveted “Recommended” rating.
Here’s the list and why:
BMW X1: Suspension problems, premature brake wear, and steering wheel vibrations
BMW X3: Climate system problems including leaks and seat control issues
Chrysler Pacifica: Infotainment, navigation, radio and transmission problems
Ford Fusion: Sync 3 infotainment system issues
Genesis G90: Transmission gasket leaks, failed throttle body, and warped rotors
