There really aren’t many truly bad vehicles anymore. At least not like it was back in the 1970s and 1980s. However, as good as modern cars and trucks are, there are still some that aren’t quite up to par.

Every year, Consumer Reports conducts a survey among its members to learn more about the reliability of their vehicles. It should be noted that not everything owners report is a serious issue, as even squeaky noises or an owner’s confusion about how systems are supposed to work are included.

The 10 models featured here are predicted to be the least reliable new vehicles of 2025. They’re rated on a scale of 1 to 100, based on data collected on more than 300,000 vehicles. Eight of the ten vehicles are products of Detroit brands.

Ford F-150 Hybrid — CR Reliability Rating: 7

On the plus side, Consumer Reports says the F-150 Hybrid is loaded with easy-to-use tech and active safety features. It’s also very quiet in the cabin, and there’s plenty of power available.

Unfortunately, it’s ranked as the least reliable vehicle of 2025, with a predicted reliability rating of just 7 out of 100. Owners reported issues with the hybrid battery, transmission drive system, climate system, electrical accessories, and in-car electronics.

Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon — CR Reliability Rating: 15

The Chevy Colorado and its near-identical GMC Canyon cousin, are the second-worst vehicles in Consumer Reports’ ranking. While the Colorado gets good scores for its healthy midrange punch and reasonably refined comfort, this midsize pickup leaves a lot to be desired.

CR complained about noticeable vibrations at low revs and its unrefined noise when pushed. Owners report engine problems, minor transmission issues, electrical accessory gremlins, noises and leaks, body hardware, and problems with the in-car electronics.

Rivian R1T — CR Reliability Rating: 20

Rivian was touted as the next big thing in the EV scene, and while the R1T certainly has some things going for it, such as power, speed, space, comfort, and agility, the negatives seem to far outweigh the positives here.

Rivian came dead last in this year’s reliability rankings. As for the R1T, owners have reported charging problems, issues with the truck’s main battery, and troubles with the climate system, brakes, body, hardware, and in-car electronics. One CR member even said a high-voltage battery failure generated error messages.

Ford Escape Hybrid — CR Reliability Rating: 21

Consumer Reports liked the Ford Escape Hybrid’s fuel economy, battery range, and nimble handling, but the infotainment system was plagued by severe lag. Seeing as that’s where everything from climate controls to audio is found, it’s a real source of frustration.

Owners of the hybrid Escape also complained about the in-car electronics, serious issues with the Hybrid battery, which sometimes required replacement, electrical accessories, and noises from the brakes.

Jeep Grand Cherokee / L — CR Reliability Rating: 22

If you’re looking to purchase a brand-new off-road capable SUV, it may be tempting to go for the Jeep Grand Cherokee, or its bigger sibling, the Grand Cherokee L. While there’s a lot to like here, such as the responsive engine, smooth transmission, and taut handling, keep in mind that, according to CR’s rankings, it’s the fifth least reliable vehicle on the market.

Jeep Grand Cherokee owners report problems with the drive system, climate system, brakes, steering, suspension, and engine electronics.

Nissan Frontier — CR Reliability Rating: 27

Consumer Reports didn’t find many good qualities when testing the Nissan Frontier. A smooth and punchy engine, low-effort tailgate, and easy-to-use infotainment just about sums it up.

To make matters worse, it’s also the sixth least reliable vehicle available right now, with owners reporting transmission problems that sometimes require a rebuild or replacement, electrical gremlins, and issues with the brakes, including noises and leaks.

Jeep Wrangler — CR Reliability Rating: 27

For years, the Jeep Wrangler has been one of the best off-road vehicles money can buy. However, it’s also had a bit of a reputation regarding reliability issues. That said, Jeep Wrangler forums claim reliability has increased drastically in the last couple of generations.

There are still some problems to iron out, though. Owners say they’ve experienced problems with the Wrangler’s steering and suspension, including excessive vibrations, as well as hardware and engine issues.

Ford F-150 Lightning — CR Reliability Rating: 28

Here, we have another Ford. This time, it’s the all-electric version of the F-150 pickup truck — the Lightning. Consumer Reports claims the Lightning feels better to drive than the gasoline-powered F-150, and it’s also faster.

That may be true, but they’ve also ranked it as the eighth least reliable vehicle you can buy right now. Owners of this EV truck have experienced issues with the high-voltage battery charging system, electrical accessories, including the truck’s 12-volt battery, and the in-car electronics.

Genesis G70 — CR Reliability Rating: 29

In ninth place, we find the Genesis G70, a luxurious sports sedan with agile handling, plenty of power, and enough features to keep us entertained for days.

Unfortunately, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, as owners have reported steering and suspension trouble, engine problems, and some minor transmission issues.

Volkswagen ID.4 — CR Reliability Rating: 29

Volkswagen’s all-electric ID.4 is the best of the worst, so to speak. If not for its annoying issues, it wouldn’t be a bad car. It’s not exciting, by any means, but it certainly has potential. Its interior is spacious, quiet, and nicely finished. It offers decent power and range, but the steering feels sluggish. Not as sluggish as the infotainment system, mind you. Those aren’t necessarily deal-breakers, though.

What’s more concerning is the fact that several owners reported issues with the electric vehicle battery, drive system, and brakes. Some also experienced charging problems with the onboard inverter.
