90% of Land Rovers are still on the road… the other 10% actually reached their destination.

The CEO of Toyota; perhaps the most reliable, best and highest selling brand for the last 30 years earns around 7 million per year, yet the greedy Mary Barra of GMC (One of the very worst) makes THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. Let that sink in.

Can confirm the Jeep is shitty. I will never buy a Stellantis product again.

[stezton]

Jeep at the top didn't surprise me at all.

[JackTheSkunk]

GMC and Jeep....what an embarrassment to the American automotive industry. And it's too bad because both companies have so much potential if they'd just concentrate on quality.

[Hashbrowniepie]

Hope that "believe it or not" about Jeep was sarcasm. Least surprising thing ever.

[gabriell.]

Nice to see that the company that killed Suzuki in the US is finally shitting on the car brand that paid them to do so.

[BradThePitts]

Toyota & Lexus: "Buy once, cry once!"

[nickice]

Jeep has gone so far downhill it’s sad and Dodge is done soon. They will become like Oldsmobile a distant memory

[primemover]

It’s insane to me how some of the most expensive vehicles are also some of the least reliable. Crazy.

[timothydevries]

Anything managed or designed by Americans or the British. Engineering details don't matter, just executive power and cash.

Had my Rivian for 2years with 30k miles. Been in service 3-4 times for minor stuff, was given a loaner everytime. Not bad for a new company. Spent $0 for maintance tire wear perfect. Best vehicle I ever owned. Buy once and forget about anything else. Customer support and service A+

[subiesojourner]

Thanks to CR and the crash test ratings, I bought my first ever 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness.

[carljaekle]

Rivian is 28th out of 30 brands on reliability. Not surprising, brand new company making a brand new product, but Mercedes is 29th, and they aren’t on the list. CR is very much into legacy design cues, and older control set ups. High tech BEV’s get punished. Owners mostly love their Rivians.

[jghall]

Own a Jag. Can confirm the service experience is awful. It's really sad, because the car is gorgeous and drives wonderfully.

[toyotaphil]

Many here don't realized their ignorance. CR accepts no advertisements, takes no monies from anyone. These results are compiled from owner's actual experiences with their cars, about 330, 000 owners.

[jake-ly]

I find it odd that Rivian's reliability is the "lowest", however in CR's own study its one of the highest in owner satisfaction? Somethings not adding up there

[nalathekitty]

My Jeep gave me so many mechanical issues 😢

[johnmcandrew]

You guys are indispensable. With your help, I bought 2018 Nissan Leaf and a 2018 Tesla Model 3. You're like a wine guide: you tell us the good makes AND the best vintages to look for. Many thanks.
