Consumer Reports published their annual reliability report. While almost twenty-six new vehicles were added, twelve vehicles lost their recommendations.
Consumer Reports collects reliability data each year through an online survey sent to members. Ask vehicle owners to describe any issues their vehicles experienced over the last 12 months. These include areas like the engine, transmission, electrical system and bodywork. A predicted reliability score is a rating from 0-100 points with an average of 41 to 60 points.
