Here is why these 10 SUVs are rated so low. We want a car that’ll keep going and not have us stranded on the side of the highway in the middle of the night. It’s easy to think a brand-new car will solve automobile troubles, but this isn’t always the case. We dug into Consumer Reports’ latest reliability data, to provide you with the 10 least reliable new SUVs you may wanna avoid.
CR auto survey looked at 17 things that can go wrong with a car, from squeaky brakes to all-wheel-drive system failures. The researchers then examined at least two model years of data for each car along with CR’s rigorous test drive feedback. Some of these SUVs are not only unreliable, but they are also under-powered and over-priced.

Q
The fact that a Range/Land Rover isn’t on this list takes away it’s credibility.
Absolutely. Not to mention Consumer Reports and JD Power lists have long been known to have zero credibility.
If you couldn’t tell by the cheap ads in the video itself lol
Maybe Land Rover doesn't sell enough cars to get enough surveys and reports? They sell much less than any of the SUVs on the list. Also, most of the cars on the list were all new or nearly all new models (2-3 years after redesign). After several years, most of the kinks have been worked out. A first year model during a pandemic with labor and supply shortages will likely have a lot more problems than the average NEW vehicle. Most new vehicles have something like 1 problem (or what surveyed customers consider a problem) per vehicle on average (or around 100 problems per 100 vehicles) in the first 3 years according to JD Power. Many cars will have 0 problems, but a few lemons might have 10 or 20 or more problems. So a brand new generation model with teething problems or more lemons that year might average 1.5 or 2 problems per vehicle in the first 3 years and be in the bottom of the rankings. But even these worst cars weren't getting a huge number of cars with problems or a huge number of problems, just noticeably more than the average new car which is getting more reliable than ever. These weren't 5+ year old vehicles with high miles or well out of warranty where EVERYTHING turns to dookie in the least reliable models, but this was based on "predicted reliability" which is hogwash. You can't judge the overall reliability of a model based on its first year on the market...
BMW and AUDI too. They both sell more than enough SUVs to make CR's testing list, and are both more likely to break than a couple of the SUV's on this list. CR lost most of their credibility long ago.

Strikes me that the most reliable vehicle is the tow truck 😂
How many times do you see a tow truck being towed?
Hahahaha....you're right

This report is not complete without the Range Rover, Sport, Evoque, and Discovery.
Right!Range rover sucks!
then you might as well say Jaguar too. They are the same vehicles....
@@Cbo__25 You're absolutely correct. Had a 2004 Jag S Type R and it brought misery into my life. Sold it to a friend who I warned about buying it. Have a Lexus now and couldn't be happier.

The fact that you included GV80 to this list, and not any model of the Range Rover vehicles, damages your credibility more than you can imagine.
I had my GV 80 with zero issues for two years. It just got killed by a drunk driver, and its top safety rating paid off. I walked out without a scratch, with both cars being write offs. As for value, it’s got all the features of far more expensive cars except for the option for those people who want a 500+hp engine. I have no idea how it can be on this list.
I have a GV80 Prestige. Super happy, this list is stupid, the GV80 is a luxury model not a CRV. I also have no idea how it can be on this list.
Because you are Korean
Feel like this is a click bait title to get people who disagree to comment and move the video up the algorithm…it worked on me. Our 2020 XC90 had been rock solid and I haven’t heard enough negative elsewhere to justify a top 10 avoid rating.
Many XC90 issues can be kept to the T8's. Also, TCAM batteries on 2022's
Well done. Keep it up. Update us more on this matters especially for more new upcoming cars. So customers can make a quick decision before buying. Good job
I own a GV80 had it for more than 1 month and just breached 2000 miles. So far so good. I guess time will tell, but the part about it being too expensive is entirely subjective. The features that it has vs it’s competitors-Mercedes GLE, BMW X5, and Audi Q7, make it a good value.
Much agreed, my mom went from a Cayenne to a gv70 and she has 0 regrets. It’s got nearly 4k on it and has had no issues thus far. Interior is better than the Porsches in my opinion too, they did a killer job
I have a gv80 n had it almost a 1yr n had zero problems so I guess it's on how well u take care of ur car
@@corriuadorsey3728 Truth
I have a GV80 Advanced and I love mine!
I’ve had my GV80 for a yr and so far so good.
The Genesis GV 80 is the most reliable car I've owned, not a single issue in two Years and 30,000 miles.
Indeed!
I'm at 180k 7 years on grand cherokee limited no issues less than 100k miles it shouldn't tear up
LOL 30k mileage? Is that a bench mark for 1900's era cars? Today car bench mark is at 100k. And 60k is just a break in period of owning a car. In my opinion bench mark should be at 200k, where the Japan cars dominate.
i definitely don’t believe this about the GV80
And big anerican trucks and suvs.. tahoes expeditions etc
One if the smartest decisions I made was leasing a Land Rover…it was in the shop 12 times in the 36 months i leased it. It gave me the option of driving lots of other cars at the LR dealership. Jags, Other LR’s. What did I lease next? Infiniti FX 35. It was great…
We once had a rental car, and it was a Jeep renegade. There was lots of buzzing coming from the back axle at higher speeds(45-60 mph). The center consul also shook a lot and the overall build quality was absolutely horrible.
My wife has owned a 2018 Tiguan SE and the only issue she ever had, was one of fuel injectors went dead at around 30k due to a faulty connection, and it was covered under the warranty. She traded it in, at 48k, for a 2022 Tiguan SE. Neither car has ever given us any major issues. My wife absolutely loves her Tiguan. I had a 2018 Tiguan SEL and the only issue I had, was that the previous owner failed to get the recall done for the sunroof drains, and it leaked in a carwash. The dealership I bought it at, wasn't a VW dealer, and they weren't aware of the recall. Took to the local VW dealership for the leak and they replaced the sunroof drains, carpeting, sound baffling, and padding. Zero issues, besides the leak, and I loved having it. Traded it at 65k, for a 2018 Atlas SE w/tech, and had that for 2 yrs. Traded it earlier this year for a 2023 Atlas SE w/tech and can't see myself driving anything else.
I owned a Yukon Denali years ago and it was my most reliable vehicle ever. I drove it to 180.000 miles before I had my first problem. And the problem was a very minor problem. The SUV never broke down on me. But that was the 2002 model Yukon Denali.
They were made much better in 2002
Thats why, built much better than this new crap
That was a different era
Same, I had a 2005 Escalade, 2010 Escalade and 2016 Yukon Denali. None of them ever left me stranded. Of course I have this weird habit of doing routine maintenance.
2001 Yukon with 201,600 miles and still going. Only replaced the oil line!!!
10,000 miles into my 2021 GV80. best car I've ever owned. zero issues. Turns a head every day and someone will ask you if it's a Bentley daily.
If a car break down at 10k mileage, then they will go bankrupt in a year. Try 200k, then we'll see.
My next car!
Yep, 1 year in and a head turner for sure..
10K and 1 year? Dude a Russian car can do that! LOL. My 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged was built 12/10 meaning it is about six months away from being 12 years old. 96K miles, purrs like a kitty. Only replaced the water pump. Your HyunKiaGen will never make it to 12 years. 🙂"Best car I've ever owned" my azz.
@@trevorsutherland5263 i have kia with 200k still going strong. I intentionally drive hard too just to get an excuse to break the car and replace it but it just won't die. Never had Genesis but I heard nothing but great things so far
really informed us well thankyou so much
Hmm I dunno about this. We have a '21 Aviator and other than a rear view camera recall we haven't had any problems with our Aviator. Also they said they had the most comfortable seats of any SUV. No they don't, at least if you have the 30way massaging seats. The seat bottoms get really hard after a couple hours behind the wheel. If I got another one I would pass on the over-rated massaging seats in favor of a little more cushion on the butt...:)
Genesis GV80 is a beautiful car. 500% satisfied with it and no problem at all.
Right. And how is the GV80 “expensive” when it undercuts its competitors in price???
I second that… my check engine light came on… but they said it was my gas cap Rick Case said… but I will keep an eye on it… this is my second one❤❤❤
No problems in six months =/= "reliable". OMG you people...
@@ew403488 wow you got a good one. I took one home . For the weekend. I opened it up. Awesome ride. But when I too it back to the dealership. My check engine light came on.. BIG red flag for me. !!! I brought the Tesla. Instead
@@xDDLFxD Undercutting competitors from established luxury brands doesn’t mean the Genesis isn’t expensive or “overpriced”. Smh 🤦🏽♂️
I can confirm one of problems with the 2020 Ford Explorer: Brand new, and we experienced leaks from the Transmission, so often. Parts had to be ordered, and car would remain days at the dealer for repairs. We had to take it 4 times, until we had enough. Not even a year and so many issues. --- So, turned out to be a Lemon. Ford had to buy it back. It was our 3rd Explorer,...so we were kind of surprised how sucky this new redesigned model turned out to be.
Oh yeah. I had one just like yours. It only had 15 thousand miles on it. I only had the car for 2 weeks. Then my transmission took a dump on me.) ford had to buy it back. ! Because they knew it was a lemon. !! Never again. Worst car ever made. !! One week later I got a letter from the ford corporate office. Telling me about a another car. NO thanks !!
Had a 2005 ford explorer. Needed a new transmission after 30k miles...
Ilove my 2018 3,5 non turbo Explorer Limited
Brought a brand new Escape. Worst car I have ever owned. Has been to the shop three times in less than a year. Now dealing with a lemon law attorney. Bad brakes, transmission and fuel pump.
Same here. My 2017 Ford explorer started having issues within months. Transmission of course. I love the ride and look but I will never get a Ford SUV. Ford pick ups are better but the explorer sucks.
Thank you for an interesting video. I have been looking at the Tiguan as a possible contender for my next purchase. It may be important to note, I am from South Africa. We have a diesel-powered version available and at the cost of fuel in this country, diesel powered vehicles are popular.I would like to know if the engine timing chain issue is similar with the TDi version or is this limited to the petrol-driven variants?
Half the time you spent on talking about the GV80 was about it's cost, which has nothing to do about the topic of this list. Proving you couldn't find much at all wrong with the car. But in regards to the cost, it's much cheaper than it's direct competition when similarly equipped.
You need to go back and check the times. He literally spent more time on the problems than the cost
Especially the repair and maintenance cost!
lmao what are u talking about? GV80 can go for 65K for a 4 cylinder, so there is no value. I would rather get me a Lincoln Aviator, which is actually the true value king and competitor to the GV80 in the segment. Hell I'd even rather get the new MDX over the GV80 too since the Koreans is asking way too much and too confident. Aviator starts at 51K and GV80 48K, so on the first glance the GV80 is undercutting the Lincoln. However not only does the Aviator also has RWD, but comes standard with a base 3.0L Twin Turbo Ecoboost V6 with more horsepower and torque than either the 2.5 or the optional 3.5 of the GV80. Also in the GV80 you need to pay extra 11K on top of the 48K starting price to get the 3.5 (and still don't have as much power), so comparatively spec by spec, GV80 is more expensive. Of course the Black Label Aviator is most expensive than the GV80 but you get more ownership and membership features that you don't get in the GV80. Not to mention the Aviator is bigger vehicle and can tow and haul more as well. Hell even a front wheel drive QX60 mommy mobile can tow more than the GV80. Ecoboost is also proven to be reliable with the 3.5L reaching north of 300000 miles.
Genesensitivity!
I have a Genesis G80 (not a SUV) for over a year and it's amazing. Also have owned a BMW 740 and a couple Acura. The cost and reliability can't be matched.
We just bought the 2022 GLE 350 2 weeks ago. This is before I saw this video. But I am hoping that they have fixed the issues from 2020 to 2022 with the new 2022 model. I will keep you posted. So far, we love the car and the drive is awesome. Interior is excellent looking as well.
Any issues so far?
@@azher191 Just when it's raining, the water somehow collects in the middle. But the ride quality and the comfort is excellent. My kids love the LED color changes and the panoramic sun roof. I normally drive it in comfort drive and it's sufficient for City driving especially with traffic. Better gas mileage than our old 2008 ML350.
@@slash2freeze nice. But the water collects where? On the roof?
@@azher191 In the front windshield. So it's harder to see with all the water collecting in the front windshield. It didn't help I was driving at night. But day time driving with rain was not an issue.
I definitely don't feel the GV80 is overpriced. It's surprising the issues with the Benz GLE and the fact that they still sell tons of them. Glad the new MDX didn't show up on this list.
GV80 is worth it. Love mine.
Got my 2.5 Prestige last year and now I can't find any car that is even close to compare to pricewise. I need to get another this year it will probably be a Palisade.
RDX is missing too. That’s a good thing.
@BearPaw Which brand?
GV80 is an amazing deal. In exchange for less power and less refined engines you get an incredibly luxurious vehicle. I put my mom in one and have been eying it ever since. Really weird that he’s calling a vehicle that pretty much every single car reviewer has called a great package for its price point overpriced.
owned Celts 2021, not even one issue so far. Pretty great value for the money spent.
I have a 2021 Tiguan highline only issue I’ve had is with the subwoofer which vw fixed otherwise great vehicle
If reliability is a key factor? Damn right it is! Especially for any vehicle that costs tens of thousands of dollars!
Exactly!
I've had 3 Explorers, the latest being a 2008 XLT model, but I guess I should hand on to it instead of getting a new Explorer.
Wow thanks for info

Nobody should brag about having zero problems after one year of purchasing a new car, sounds like you expected something to go wrong and it exceeded your expectations so congrats on that
@@dabbadoo2226 I agree! But it’s a Genesis. The type of buyers of the GV80 have no clue what to expect from these products. They’ve been _told_ by the internet it’s a luxury vehicle of German build quality but Japanese reliability and all they know is it has the surface beauty they’re looking for and they’re saving a few pennies. But the *reality* is it’s neither German nor Japanese, it’s South Korean and Hyundai Motors who is notorious for class action lawsuits here in the U.S. makes them. So when they reach 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, etc. of little to no issues these customers are eager to deem them “reliable” as they don’t have many other real world examples to go off of and it’s just nerves and wishful thinking. Just ask MotorTrend how “reliable” their 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T was. As they approach 100,000 miles the Hyundai/KIA family ties will begin to shine though.
The only thing I learned in the video is that Land Rover still spends a lot of money to lie with statistics. No way the Range Rover didn’t make the list. -signed former Range Rover Sport owner.
I owned a 2016 AMG GLE 43 coupe and sold it. I purchased a 2021 AMG GLE COUPE and I've never had any issues with either. Power performance and smooth commander of the streets with a beautiful body style. I LOVE IT HERE!

I bought a 2019 VW JETTA R LINE. I had 4 engine checks within a year and they replaced 4 parts. The rear camera is problematic because sometimes it works sometimes not. When you use the remote start and have set up the temp. To hi then when you start it the a/c is on. I brought it to the service dept and was told it is normal. The engine has a grinding sound and was told it is normal.
So true. RR is really a mess with non driver friendly controls. A real road Queen.
I owned a Yukon Denali years ago and it was my most reliable vehicle ever. I drove it to 180.000 miles before I had my first problem. The fact that a Range/Land Rover isn’t on this list takes away it’s credibility.
Had a 2018 Tiguan. Body defects and water leaking into the passenger side when raining. So glad it was just a lease. But I have to say, VW seems to be responsible. We got a few thousand back. They also offered $2500 extra for another VW and we didn’t go for it.
Have a 2013 right now and it’s junk. Will never buy another VW after this one
I had a 18 also bought it brand new actually the same color as the one in the video i never had an issue with mine, only had it 2yrs then i upgraded to the 2019 Atlas SE and I never had an issue with it either i loved them both....but i did just traded for the Volvo XC90 it was my dream Truck a month after having it the check engine light came on but the dealership took care of the issue it was under warranty, it was some type of sensor needing replacement no other problems with it since

Interesting about the Genesis considering I’m about to purchase one and I’m so thorough that I read comments on so so many viewed videos and I’ve never really read about anyone having reliability issues. It’s mainly praise for the car. Sometimes these videos are misleading
This video was way off on the GV80!!!!
I have a 2021 gv80, AWD 3.5t advanced. Drives like a dream. No problem so far. I mistakenly increased the pressure in the tires during winter. Caused the wheel to feel strange. I put the pressures back in factory numbers and it purred like a cat. I love my car, though I paid $4000 above mrsp. No regrets. Always brings a smile to my face when driving. Previous cars owned were Saab, Infinity, Mercedes and Acura. I stand with my GV80.
The videos are misleading or the anecdotal reviews you read in the comments are misleading? At the end of the day people are going to believe what they _want_ to believe and do what makes them happy regardless of what they find. 🤷🏾♂️

Totally misleading!
My wife has had a 2022 Lincoln Aviator for a year now & has had no issues. 85% of our vehicles we've owned have been Lincoln's but since they stopped making sedans, I switched to a Genesis G80 Prestige & absolutely love it! IMO, Lincoln has gone downhill since they switched to an all SUV lineup. Yes, the wife's Aviator has had no issues (YET) but it's built extremely cheap using a lot of plastic parts. My G80's interior is far more luxurious, more comfortable, 1000x quieter in the cabin & has a lot more safety features including smart cruise control for almost the same price point (our 2 vehicles). A Lincoln Aviator Black Label is about $85k whereas a Genesis GV80 Prestige is around $76k which both have all the same fully loaded features so not really understanding them saying the GV80 is expensive. This video seems to have all the luxury SUV's so which SUV's should be paying attention to that are "reliable?" LoL
When Lincoln's were Lincolns with the bagged continental best ride Ive ever been it felt like you were riding on a cloud couldnt believe how nice that car rode! And Im a not really a Ford guy but I would buy anything before I bought an import..your sending all your money overseas! And their junk is worse than ours!
@Richard Forbes LoL! Your comment made me chuckle. Hate to break it to ya, but all of American automobile companies (excluding Tesla claims of being 100% American made) have been installing numerous foreign parts in their vehicles for decades, so technically, you have never owned a 100% American made automobile unless you have owned or own a Tesla. I assumed every American adult would have known this information nowadays, but I shouldn't assume things as everyone learns at their own pace. Something else you should be informed about - China is a major stakeholder with Ford & GM; they own 50% of Ford and 49% of GM. You're talking to someone who customized his cars to the extreme inside & out for the 1st 10 years of having his license. I had a Grand Am GT with a full custom air ride suspension, and although that car felt like I was riding on a cloud (just as you stated), my G80, believe it or not, rides 10x smoother than the Grand Am did. That should already be a given seeing that technology advances with time, therefore it would only make sense that a 2021 luxury vehicle would have a smoother ride than a fully customized 2000 Grand Am GT air ride suspension. That's 21 years of innovation in the works. Lastly, there are a few things to say here.. 1) I'm still trying to understand why you threw your two cents in stating that imports are junk and they are worse than ours?.. You JUST said "I'm not really a Ford guy but I would buy anything before I bought an import." That tells me you have never owned a foreign luxury vehicle so we're supposed to take advice from someone who claims to have knowledge about something they obviously know nothing about simply put - you have never experienced it 1st hand 2) since my original comment a couple months ago, the Aviator had to go in the shop bc one of the cheap plastic pieces on the interior broke and had to be replaced. Betcha can't guess where that part was made and shipped from?🤣 3) you stated all I'm doing is sending my money overseas.. actually, what's really happening is the bank that approved my auto loan is taking my money until the loan is paid off. The dealerships are the ones doing direct business with auto manufacturers in other countries so technically, they are the ones "sending their money overseas." Sorry about this. I just thought it was appropriate to explain the facts of what's actually going on. If you want to continue with your current way of thinking, please, by all means, go for it. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Because import cars are trash they were when I was a kid and they are better now but there still not made like the cars in the US
Good job. Keep it up.
Thank you So much for this informations
Had a 2010 mazda 3 hatchback with 240,000 miles zero issues and now I have a 2014 acura mdx with 147,000 miles with zero issues. I almost got a Tiguan but I am glad I didn't. I had to get an suv cause my family grew from 5 to 6 and the Mazda didn't fit us all. I love my mdx.
yeah you were about to make a huuuuuuuge mistake buying that underpowered Tiguan garbage. glad you didn't buy it!
ME TOO!!! Bought my first mdx last year & I’ll never drive anything else!! My gas mileage is AHHH-MAZING as well!
With the GM/Chevy Yukon/Tahoe being based on the large fullsize SUV's category, what other manufacturers have vehicles in this category? Ford Expedition and?....... Being in a category with 2-4 models from difference manufacturers makes the odd's of being on the list much higher, Also I would say you see 8-10 tahoes/Yukons on the road to one Expedtion, as mentioned, they get used in high mileage application's like Limo's also I see the Police using them in certain places also. My mom has been driving Tahoes for years, I don't remember the model year of her current one, but it has 150,XXX miles on it right now, and its hasn't been to mechanic for any major work, not even middle of road type repairs, this is truck also driven in the upper midwest where it see's harsh winter conditions, and it is also used to pull a enclosed car trailer for hundreds of miles. That said, GM did recently switch to a all new independent rear suspension on these SUV's, so it is not vetted model as of yet, as rule of thumb you usually want to avoid owning any brands first year model updates because they come with unforseen issues.
Any issues with 2022 lincoln navigator? Wonder if gm will fix lifter issues on 5.3l and 6.2l with 2023 yr model.
I drive a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali XL with 202,000 miles! Awesome truck no complaints. Ride like a 2022! Put new tires, tune up & oil changes. Going to do new paint job.
The newer a vehicle, the less reliable it will be. This is why there is an odd year where a company does not plan for reliability but manages to eke out a top spot. Consumer Reports also has faulty metrics for gauging a cars reliability. It's based on consumer surveys and early reliability issues. Early problems are not indicative of long-term care. The vast majority of issues reported tend to be user adoption rather than something breaking. For instance, how to use a new infotainment system. The consumers of these vehicles have varying metrics and standards they expect in a vehicle. Someone buying a Mercedes is expecting something a bit more than a person buying a Toyota. It's basically asking the opinions of a car enthusiast verse a person who treats a vehicle as an appliance. Reliable vehicles depend on their simplicity, power train and material choices, and consistency of construction. These can all be analyzed to draw conclusions on reliability beyond 5 years. There are rarely actual reliability issues under 5 years.
You mean the company? You’re basically saying older cars are more reliable which really isn’t the case
Our 2018 Suburban was bought brand new, we have had no reliability issues! The used car we bought for our daughter, well that's another story!
@@chrisstromberg6527 I meant it as in an old platform still in manufacture like the Dodge Challenger has been in production since 2005. A new Dodge Challenger would be far more reliable than a new Grand Wagoneer.
German Vehicles lovely design great interiors but sad electronics failure . Japan electronics stand out as premium and reliability stakes. Happy customer award by far !!! 12:46
My dad has had the 2020 and now has the 2022 Mercedes GLE AMG Spec interior/exterior package and loved / loves it. No issues and and it’s a great, smooth and quiet riding SUV for an everyday vehicle. Extremely comfortable and luxurious to ride in and very easy and effortless to drive.

Had a Mercedes SUV years back, fantastic car but It broke down on first holiday trip in Switzerland great service with the dealer taking part off showroom display car, that was the only issue in 100’000 miles, then got the first of new shape Volvo XC90, launch car and lots of problems on the electric controls, after several attempts to fix with software updates Volvo gave us a new car, I’m now on my 3rd, fantastic car with no issues anymore
Which is?
Geneva or bern?
surprising to see sorento on the list. I have one with 200k miles almost and I drive hard too. SOB just won't die
you probably had an older version with a Mitsubishi engine.
My 20201 Genesis GV80 Prestige 2.5T 300 HP RWD has been perfect. It is as near perfect as any car I have owned. There is so much quality built in that the $60K price tag is very reasonable. With 13,300 miles within 20 months ownership, I expect to have this car for a long time.
I’m a Volvo XC90 girl and I’ve never had issues with any of them I own. My favorite vehicle honestly.
Give it another year...LOl....when it is out of warranty.
@@chadhaire1711 Lol I currently have 3 of them that I’ve owned for years, again I’ve never had any issues with them. My oldest is a 2007 with 327k miles on it and it still runs fine, just recently needed to replace the oil trap. I also have a 2012 and a 2017, and I plan on getting a newer model next month. It’s my favorite vehicle lol.
@@Mutable_PageOfCups The Xc90 has had more recalls than I can list--2007 transmissions were horrible for a start, and since the Chinese took over electrics, drive line, brakes, leaks, and a whole list......no thanks
Same here,my XC90 is my 5th Volvo....i love em ALL🤷♀️
Great indebt info thanks for sharing… I am still looking 😱😱😱
If you do have a issue with you're GV80. Then Hyundai/Genesis will come drop off a loaner and pick yours up for repairs. Then when its complete they will bring your car back. It isn't a problem for me when ill be in the same vehicle regardless and they are taking care of ANY issues
Great information. Question: if the Yukon/Suburban/Tahoe are unreliable and problematic, what does that mean for the Escalade? Aren’t they built on the same platforms?
@Jimi Jam😏 jeez. Thanks for the warning. I was about to pull the trigger on either a 2018 ESV with 129k miles or a 2016 Premium luxury with 41k.
Service writers at my dealership have told me all GM engines equipped with cylinder deactivation have lifter problems resulting in ruined camshafts thus a ruined engine.. programs are available to turn it off on engines thus equipped.. . With it turned off engines last a respectful long time..
I was looking at a sorento now seeing this list Im very concerned would I be okay looking at the sorento hybrid model any concerns there
I agree it seems like every car has similiar problems. Its all this electronics and vvt engines and transmissions out there today.
Have a ‘21 Santa Fe with the same engine and DCT as the Sorento discussed in the video. At 6,800 miles heard a loud buzzing sound coming from the front of the car. It now needs a new transmission and have to wait weeks for a new one to arrive.
Ignore it! They lied about a lot of cars on this list!
Ignore this list. Seems like a lie. Range Rover is missing, Discovery is missing
Never buy a Hyundai/Kia product. Toyota or Honda only. Even a Nissan or Mitsubishi will last longer than a HyunKia product.
I have a 2021 Yukon and have had none of the issues they say in this video. Been a great truck.
i own a 2023 aviator and love it so far. hopefully these issues have been fixed.
German cars are expensive to maintain and I think over engineered. I've owned Volvo 850 cars since '94 and my most recent daily driver finally blew a few exhaust valves at 405,xxx miles although it still runs fine but a bit rough at idle. It was a work horse. They aren't cheap to fix. I finally bought a Toyota Camry and love it. Hyundai and Kia seem to be making great strides in their quality department. Lexus has always been a solid car. Mercedes and Land Rover love being in the garage for work and $$$$$ to fix. To each his/her own on vehicles. Buy what makes you happy.
Bmw,audi and benz care more about performance not quality anymore. The parts are beyond cheap and over prices and most don't even know they're built in north America and Mexico 😂😂😂 them shits ain't even real German cars anymore
Camry? Yuck
@@andyb7719 classic camry, accord, highlander, sienna, fusion, are for intelligent people. They knows what they are doing, not what people thought about them. Volvo/Chinese cars went down in reliability in the past decades. Mazda quality and class go up, something that Hyundai/Kia also try although some defects is specific in USA factory related to engine assembly.
@@andyb7719 To each his own. I bought a new '22 Camry black night shade edition. It was the first model that didn't look like a family car but can hold a family. Gone are the days when I want to waste money on a vehicle that only gets 15 mpg. My Volvo cars were expensive to fix when they broke. Toyota has a great reputation for longevity. I like the car I bought. Nobody said you have to buy one.
@@rondhole you are insulting real car enthusiasts because they don't llike a camry and highlander. M5 AND AMGs are loved by real car enthusiasts not grandparents.
I had an explorer for 8 years with no issues until 1 days the engine started knocking. So I can’t say they’re unreliable because it served me well for 8 years.
I've had my explorer since 2003..have 150 000 miles on it..last explorer to be built on a truck frame..have no problems with it other than replacing a/c compressor..but living in az u use the ac year round..ac gets quite a workout..still have it and it carries everything in the back..a great vehicle..
I’m glad that 2020 Ford Escape wasn’t on that list. I do have a recall on the Ford Escape on the driver’s side about the engine and might have an oil leak in it or something.
My xc90 saved me from a car crash and without getting my insurance involved. I'm not sure if they need to be on this list. Also, what do you drive?
Thank god no Dodge Durango. My 2018 Durango V6 has been pretty good. Only issue is sometimes there a glitch with the radio when it rains for a long time.
I have a 2012 V6 Durango with 140k on it, only think I've had to do is replace the radiator because it sprung a small leak and I didnt want to have to refill with coolant all the time. Still cruising though!
I have a 2016 Durango. 45000 miles, Not one single problem.
I’ve got a 2011 Durango with 150k still cruising I might swap a 392 in it at some point 😏
I have Durango Citadel 2015,No issues as of today, still running smooth, change Radiator under warranty as it has small leak, some lights out, needes replacement. That's it
Durango is too simple to have many problems.
This why I'm waiting on the '23 Passport. I find it funny, that I like the Sorento better than the Genesis. It's the same vehicle. Love the same shot when they were putting on the door for the Explorer and Lincoln. I don't get the fact your paying 10 to 15k more for a luxury name on the same platform.
They have zero in common other than sharing the same parent brand. The Genesis GV80 is a performance rear wheel drive based crossover and the Kia Sorento is front wheel drive based general crossover.
@@chefcjnobles1680 yep
You make no sense. The Sorento and GV80 have nothing in common and they don’t share the same platform.
@@steven5509 Ok, that I did not know. Thanks for the correction.
@@TwoPair72 you’re good
That clip in the Genesis GV80 section with the check engine light, was not the GV80s instrument cluster. That was of a 2016-2018 G80 sedan wrong clip for that vehicle.
I own 2019 Ford Explorer Sport with the 3.5L twin turbo EcoBoost engine, which has performed flawlessly for us since day 1. AFTER this model year is when the current issues appeared.
I have a 2022 GV80, no issues what at all after 6 months and 15,000 kms.
I would hope so...
Just experienced my Buick Enclave loss, as the engine seized up. Sad there is no reliability with Automakers anymore.
Could you tell me more I was thinking of buying the Buick envision
Avoid American cars. Japanese cars are the best!
Very detailed video on SUVs. Can you guys do one on Mini-vans?
Buy either Sienna or Odyssey. Then you're good up to 200,000 miles or more. I've seen a 500,000 miles SIenna pulled in for an oil change at my friend shop.
2022 Sorento SX Prestige X Line owner for the past year . I love this vehicle. All the features, smooth quick drive and spacious
I got a 2021 SX Prestige X-Line when it first hit dealerships in Dec 2020 and my only gripes are with the transmission at low speeds and a super annoying rattle around 1500 rpm that seems to be coming from the engine. My local service center acknowledged that they could hear the rattle but refused to do anything about it. I also hate that there is no HUD or ambient lighting.
Oh wow. You must got a good one. I’m on my second transmission !! Never again !! 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵😡
I’ve had 2 Tiguans from 2010 with well over 80,000 and neither had major issues when combined with good maintenance and extended maintenance such as timing chain replacement. Great cars and great reliability.
80k miles hasn't been alot since the 80s.
I had a Tiguan give my Z06 a run for its money up in the mountains. I dunno how reliable it is but I'll never forget that handling!!
Test drove a vw tiguan and it sounded and drove like a jeep car . Interior was very plastic . End up buying a Lincoln Corsair nicely equipped , Panoramic roof , air cooled leather seating upgraded wheels , etc for around the same price as the VW . So far 25000 trouble free miles . The car has the most quiet cabin I've ever road in . The styling inside and out is beautiful and the 4 cylinder turbo is pretty quick and fun to drive . Paid around 43000 back in 2020 which is about what they wanted for a similarly equipped Tiguen
Replacing timing chains at 80k is not good. Timing chains should go to 150k at the minimum dependent on driving habits.
You got lucky
Nissan earns a spot on this list for its CVT transmission.
I haven't had a problem with my Infiniti QX60
I've owned nothing but Nissan and I've never had a cvt issue.
Bought a 2017 Nissan rogue few months ago drives smooth The newer nissan’s shown provement
Didn't have an SUV but my Altima transmission died on me in the Chic FIL A drive thru. Lol. Had to be pushed out by two ladies. They gave me my food for free. It was a bad/big issue. A lawsuit came out a few years back. Nissan paid 70% of the cost to replace it which was $4k+. Smh. I think/hope they're better now.
@@amyersadams mine died on an exit ramp! Thank God I wasn't on the highway. Had to replace the transmission at 60k miles. It's a 2013 and I haven't had any problems since then, but I'm still wary about buying another Nissan, or an Infiniti.
CR has become increasingly biased in recent years. I cancelled my subscription once I noticed this trend. I am by no means a GM fan, but to say their full size SUVs are the least reliable is just plain irresponsible. When a vehicle can go 200K miles with relatively minor repairs, it is far from unreliable. The Lincoln Aviator had 1 recall but is higher on this list than the GLE with almost 40? Tells you all you need to know about this list....
Exactly what I was thinking looking at this list. Seems just a blind list.
Your are 100 percent right
Your vehicle may have been the % that was ok. You're not looking at overall stats.
@@Chris-de2qc Most reports of vehicles that will last 200K miles or more include the GM full size SUVs. I consider myself a car guy, so I am almost always reading owner reviews and looking at this type of "Top XXX" list. I've personally had a Yukon and Tahoe that both went over 200K without any major repairs. Regular maintenance and a couple fuel pumps, and that's about it. I've had poor quality vehicles as well (one is one this list), but I stand behind my statement that CR is no longer an unbiased resource. They solicit reviews from subscribers, of which they may get a few hundred or maybe a thousand for a particular model, while the manufacturer sells thousands or even hundreds of thousands of these vehicles. Also, there is no way a list of unreliable vehicles is accurate without a Range Rover.
I agree with you. I too cancelled CR subscription. I have seen them indicate low ratings on particular vehicles when there is other vast compelling evidence to the conntrary.
I have 500,000 miles on my Lexus LX450/Land Cruiser and I love it more every day. Get an 80 series Land Cruiser and spend the money to restore it. You'll never regret it. They are built to last.
The Volvo complaints about bumpy rides on rough terrains, you got to be kidding. So in other words WTF
I never experience that on my 2017 XC90.
for real... I did a review on my '16 XC90. I address all the common issues. It also does not have transmission issues as stated.
True
Exactly! This video is full of rubbish
The first Volvo we got was a 2016 XC90, never had an issue what so ever and just felt like a tank, you felt safe in it. We returned it when the lease was over but I still miss that car.
I am following you from Saudi Arabia. I agree with you on all except Kia Sorento. It is on of the most reliable cars. We have no DCT transmissions here; only eight speed automatics..
An 8 speed could also be DCT. Perhaps you meant CVT?
@@sultanaljedda3688 Nope. I meant traditional automatic with a torque converter.
@@sultanaljedda3688 No - its a conventional auto
What about land cruiser
@@Therealestrunnerluda Very reliable and very expensive
Thank you 👍🏾
I ordered a 2020 Xc90 Volvo from the factory and I made sure I had the lowest standard engine because it could run on regular fuel. So far I have had it in for two reasons both relatively minor and it drives like a dream. I believe as the years go by, you will see more and more cars have major issues with computers and other software glitches ruining their experience. One thing people should realize is these manufacturers have bidding wars for their parts manufacturing. this keeps their source pricing low but it encourages their suppliers to cut corners which affects reliability and manufacturers suffer from high recall rates. I don't see this improving as car pricing goes higher and higher.
I also have an XC90. It's had a few minor issues, mostly early electronic gremlins, but compared to my previous Fords, Mazdas and Hondas, it's actually been more reliable, which is a feat considering how much more tech it has. The engine power is a weak point compared to other luxury SUVs, but it gets better gas mileage, and everybody has their own preferences. Get on the highway in Eco mode and it's a butter smooth family cruiser, which is what I need it for. Lemons are always possible, but with a ton of XC90s out there, I don't think its reliability is as bad as CR makes it out to be.
@@jtsholtod.79 Yeah, my biggest fear is the electronics will fail, it's a matter of when, I've already had a few glitches, I just hope I'm wrong. It's still under warranty for now, but it won't be much longer.
@@rwhunt99 when I was at the dealer yesterday they said that because the XC60, Polestars and new EX90 also use many of the same electronics, there will be ample shared supply, and tried and tested repairs for quite awhile, and the ability to diagnose and even fix many things over the air. I don't plan to have my vehicle long enough for that to really be needed. My biggest issue with these heavy SUVs is that the brakes wear out so quickly in city driving.
@@jtsholtod.79 I'm retired and my three year old car has under 16,000 miles, so that is what is frustrating, i have hard to bring it in for replacing the exhaust sensor that should last for many thousands of miles and also I had a big black mask on my screen when using the mapping software (which is the worst I've seen by the way), and they fixed the screen by simply updating the software. I have to drive an hour and a half to get to the dealer, which wouldn't be too bad if there weren't any problems, but when they take three days to replace a sensor that takes five minutes to change out, that's annoying as hell. Other than that, it is a very nice car to drive and I do hope it lasts quite a while. I got the T-5 to get the engine that doesn't have to use premium fuel, to make it cheaper to drive. and I like it.
I'm on my 4th Toyota Highlander (2008, 2012, 2018) and now the new 2023, 4-cyl Turbo. Great ride, dependable, and better fuel consumption. Quicker too then the previous 6-cyl.
My girlfriend picked up a new Kia Sorento SX Prestige. The transmission is so clunky and bad. She likes the car, but I've owned Acura MDXs and they are a night and day difference when it comes to shifting. In the Kia there is a noticeable lag between second and 3rd gear shifting that is infuriating.
I’m glad the Telluride wasn’t listed…I’m very interested in getting that.
I really like the looks of the telluride. I had considered buying one, until I found out you can only get one by ordering, you would have to wait three or four months to get it, in the dealer wanted $5,000 over sticker price. Then my daughter's Hyundai Tucson engine blew. They told her 18 months for warranty repairs. Nothing but a runaround from the dealer. There is a major class action lawsuit for the hundreds of thousands of blown engines.
Car and Driver magazine thinks that the Telluride is a great 3 row SUV and gives it a very high rating (see their most recent issue). Consumer Reports magazine also rates the Telluride very highly (high numeric score). I assume their reliability survey was also good.
@@johnw9245 they never rate cars as Best buys on their reliability. They have no clue what kind of reliability a car will have when they pick it. Nobody knows that for years down the road. There have been many topics that ended up being junk a few years later.
Please please save your money. 78 thousand miles on mine. I’m on my second transmission !!! .. never again.!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Mercedes benz gle suprised me for many here on youtube praise it but i was also suspicious knowing mac n bma are troublesome especially on electronics hmm nice review and advances 😍
I wasn’t surprised. My brother bought a GLE 63s brand new and it was a lemon. Needed a new engine at 4k miles, and the 3D sound system went out at 2k miles. Mercedes bought it back, and he now has the X6M. It’s been great so far.
@@ajlee6933 was really so that means bma is more stronger than a merc me nice ( mercedes)
You would think Mercedes year 3 into this production model would have a lot of issues fixed for 2022.
The Ford Explorer was the perfect vehicle, reliable, comfy, great layout. I sold a 2013 that had 297000 miles, and still perfect; I have a 2017 Explorer now,(258000 miles), and still believe is the perfect vehicle; however after 2018, Ford dicked around with the perfect vehicle and turned it into a Dodge.
I had a ‘16 & the AC immediately went out right after purchase & ford basically refused to fix it until I made a stink, then the back window shattered by itself a year later. I still liked the car overall though, it drove really nice. The gas fumes leaking into the cabin was also a periodic issue (although not often).
@@woodpit420 hi, the fumes in the cabin is actually a recall item, the dealer will fix it for free, they fixed it for me, and made all the difference in the world.
I have a 16 bought used with 30K.....Now has 80K and most reliable SUV I've ever owned....4x4 limited trim.....only some small minor recalls.....wife drives it daily with my kids.....will look into the Ford Lightning for my next vehicle....
love our xc90..that being said I would never own one without being covered by a warranty.
I wish I knew that about the XC90 before buying one with an aftermarket warranty, they won’t even honor the service I had paid for. Worn piston rings and no compression in cylinder one. I’m stuck paying for a truck I can’t drive cos it requires a new engine after owning it for a month used. I will never own another one without a real Volvo factory warranty
@@NaStalgia so Volvo isn't accepting your aftermarket warranty you purchased? If so why doesn't the warranty company send you to someone that does? Just curious I own a 2019 XC90 with a warranty from CoastGuard.
@@cast9609 Volvo dealership that sold me the warranty wanted me to pay outta pocket for a new engine. The warranty company didn’t wanna cover the cost because they called it a pre-existing condition lol. To my knowledge the 2019 have the updated piston rings so oil consumption issue may not arise with yours but that transmission is a ticking time bomb because Volvo never fixed those. Sell your Volvo at the first sign of oil issue or transmission issue or else you will be on the hook for the repairs
@@NaStalgia thanks for your response. It's been a year and over 25k miles. Lol I drive a lot. But I will keep and eye for those signs. I do my own regular maintenance.
@@cast9609 I was unlucky, I only drove mine less than 10k miles. You’re welcome
I don't buy the GMC aspect. Wife had a Diesel colorado that went up to 120K miles before she traded it in a new Sierra (also a diesel). Sis in law has a Chevy Tahoe and so far seems good. Literally the whole family is a GMC family and it works fine
I can say I’ve purchased 2 (Buick Enclave and Pontiac Torrent). Both had so many issues. AC failure at 14,000 miles, body was easily dented and so many electrical issues. Visit the GM forums to see how many have premature failures. I didn’t expect much from a Pontiac, but was extremely disappointed with Buick. I would never purchase another GM, my money would be better spent calling an Uber. My experience with owning GM vehicles
Excellent information 👍🏾
Hmmm both of my tiguans were phenomenal. I did just buy a Mazda CX-5 to try something different.
Land Rover definitely needs to be on this in my opinion.
I have the XT4. Agreed the transmission is not that great. But the rest is good. I have an extended warranty. I’m getting a pilot next. Going back to Honda.
aww, I love the way the Aviator looks. It is slick. Sad that it ranks low.
I work for Kia and we have not seen any issues with the 2021 or 2022 Kia Sorento. The Seltos...yes we have

@@chrisshields5448 I just purchased a 2023 KIA Sportage. Any known issues with this model? Of course the dealership made sound as I purchased a POS to upsale an extended warranty.
Really disappointed to hear about the Tahoe! I have had three and my present 2008 Tahoe has 180k miles and has been reliable. I was planning on a new one in the near future but this makes me want to hold on to this one.
don’t let this video discourage you, most of these cars are very reliable. However, this VIDEO is VERY unreliable… if you take good care of your car it will last.
Don't buy a new one. I bought one for my wife and had engine issues 2 months later.
My 2022 Tahoe with 7000 miles has a jacked up transmission! Sitting at the dealer service department for over two weeks and they are still waiting on parts!
I had a 2018 Tiguan and never had any problems. The only reason I don’t have any more is because I fell in love with the 2021 Arteon
I haven’t heard any positives about VW recently! Especially the van.
Same here, still have a 2018 Tiguan I bought new and not one problem
This is such a VW owner response lol. “ I had my car for 2-3 years and it was fine”. Some people keep their cars and want them to work into the future
You should play a Lottery because Luck 🍀 is in your side 😂
I have had a Passat for 6 years - perfect car! NO issues at all - totally reliable
