An unreliable vehicle can become a long-term financial headache. To avoid spending time and money at a repair shop, CR's annual reliability survey calculates which vehicles will deliver the most hassle-free miles. Using member data collected from hundreds of thousands of vehicles, here are the least reliable new SUVs on the market today.
I’m guessing basically anything made by Stellantis 😂😂 The Mazda making this list was surprising though. Ford Hybrid was not😂
Mazda, Nissan and Mitsubishi have poor quality, too.
Lexus, Toyota and Honda are the best.
That Mazda model is brand new. They will need a few years to work out all the issues.
Just the Hybrid version of the 90 though. The non-hybrid is okay.
Which i honestly don’t count as a loss. Brand new vehicle model with a brand new engine makeup technology. To be expected. I’m sure by year 3 the Hybrid versions will be as solid as the Gasoline non hybrids.
@user32421 The CX90 (Hybrid) is a brand-new model. This would be like Honda making a brand-new 3 row and expecting no issues.
The non Hybrid 90 still ranks good in the list. It’s just Hybrid ranks bad.
@@jobber1984lmao, the cx has been around since 2015
Let me guess, while we’re waiting. Stellantis wins! Hornet, Grand Cherokee, etc
Jeep – always at the top of the heap!
Grand Cherokee is the bread and butter for us shops. 🤑👍🏻
Mazda cx90 hybrid? Well that’s a disappointment
Not bigger than you, Mr. Ilogic, not knowing to differentiate between the self-charging hybrids (colloquially referred to as hybrids, the most reliable and low TCO – Total Cost of Ownership – cars’ segment according to Consumer Reports) and the plug-in hybrids (PHEV, almost as unreliable – and with a huge TCO – as the BEV clunkers).
“Bravo”, old snowflake!
There’s a reason a song went viral years ago called “I Made A Mistake And Bought A Jeep”.
So basically on the CX90 owners had problems with eveything.
The plug in one … The PHV the electric side
I got the regular one and it is amazing I love my Mazda
That was the plug-in hybrid version.
NO, this is all bunch of bs
Will we ever get to a point where we could just buy direct from the manufacturer and try cars for 30 days for a low fee 😢
My Jeep Grand Cherokee is the least reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Nearly $35K of repairs over it’s life (2015) including multiple times to the same system. Thankfully, I bought the lifetime warranty which has paid for itself 10 times over.
Sounds like a good deal if you like your dealer mechanic!
Wowser, lucky you, otherwise it would have gone down the road years ago. 😬
Please make a video on most reliable cars!! Thank you
Toyota and Mazda just showed us that even a quality vehicle brand can produce a new model with a plethora of problems.
I have had two Toyotas that were complete disasters. Never again. Over rated junk, and no, not from lack of being maintained. Garbage, over rated $hit mobiles.
Except there IS NO issues with them
throw Honda in there as well.
Why only Mazda and Toyota? Do you hate them that much to ignore the big failures from Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai etc.?
Didn’t you learn by now that even the best brands in the world have nig failures because of the mandated crazy government/WEF regulations aimed at reducing our freedom to move?
Mercedes GLE data may be skewed by issues with the mild hybrid battery issues and faulty fuel pumps in early model years.
Yep teething pains with brand new design in 2020 and assembled in new factory in Alabama. We have a 2022 GLE 450 In the family, has had no issues. Regardless, for peace of mind, be sure to get an extended warranty on any complex expensive luxury vehicle for the time and mileage you plan to keep it.
We bought a new/2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV this Fall. Initially drove fine, adore the red color, but it was not long before various reliability and safety issues became evident. Got our first recall this week too. For what we paid, we will never own or recommend Mazda again!
OK, buy a BEV clunker, is “better” than PHEV lemons (regardless of the brand).
As for the brand, if you are so unhappy with a top Japanese brands (famous mostly for its own engines, handling, design etc.), go to the “reliable” Jeep, VW, Chevrolet if you do not have money for Mercedes, Volvo, Genesis and other clunkers.
Don’t forget the Honda CR-V Hybrid, i have a 2023 with problems…but the 2025 is way worse (from the reports by owners in this FB group I’m on)
I just sold my 17 year old Lexus RX350 and it didn’t have any of these problems! We just didn’t need such a big vehicle and bought a much smaller Lexus, of course.
By God’s grace, I’ve been leasing a 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium for a year and a half, and I haven’t faced any of these issues, with the exception of a few errors, at times, with the in-vehicle alerts.
the car is not yours. who cares?
My wife’s GLE sounds like a tractor. I know it will have engine and transmission issues in the near future.

I had 2024 jeep GC summit.. so far no problem at all.
I had previous GC 2015.. had issue with transmission but warranty replace it than no problem until last yr crush.. 😂😂
I’m very confused, why are CR members buying these bad cars!? They have the info for the reliable cars!
