10 New Cars to Avoid Buying in 2024...WHAT YALL THINK OF THIS LIST?

I hope they’re counting Jeep in Chrysler. My Wagoneer got serviced last week and the windshield wiper fluid light is on but they swear they check/filled it. Had a recall all fucking ready but not related. Before I rant let me see if they fix my shit this week.
 
Hasn't that list basically been the same forever?

Well with the addition of Tesla? And aren't Tesla's harder to fix, because you can't just take them anywhere.

Here are the brands with the most issues and hence, the least dependable, according to J.D. Power, as reported by Kelley Blue Book.

Land Rover
— Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 273

Lincoln — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 259

Audi — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 252

Ford — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 249

Tesla — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 242

Mercedes-Benz — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 240

Jaguar — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 229

Chrysler — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 226

Volkswagen — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 216

Volvo — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 215

Subaru — Problems Per 100 Vehicles: 214
 
The only brand that is solid outta the list is Subaru followed by VW. That list is accurate to me minus Subaru. If I had to include a third brand that is solid I would say Lincoln but that would just be their Town Cars. Volvo station wagons were some of the most bulletproof cars 80's-90's but Volvo got too fancy with all the electric shit.

Was interested in getting a series II, but saw all the issues reported on Edmunds...... told the wife a new design year is only 3-5 yrs away, hopefully the issues will be worked out by then
 
Looks about right.

And I can tell you why for every marque.

I'm surprised Chrysler/Jeep had only 226 problems per 100 units. Those Jeeps are shitcans on wheels.

BMW should be listed, cause Mercedes has less issues than W

you got the 6.4 or the new line 6 in it..?
 
I’m embarrassed to say I’m going to have to look for this answer. I know it’s not as powerful as a 6.4 but don’t think I have an in line 6 in this thing either.
3.0L twin turbocharged 6 is the standard on them all so that’s what I got. It does okay but I have noticed a little less power over time, especially when I drove up to DC in it.

These cars have been shitty for years. Nothing surprising or earth shattering at all.

I hear you and BMW has their fair share of issues

In 2022, the industry average was 192, suggesting that the quality of the average car has improved. Yet, some models fared worse than others.

For instance, the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study reports an industry average of 186 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100). The study examined how vehicles are performing in terms of quality, component replacement and appeal — including those vehicles with new technology — “and helps automotive manufacturers design and build better vehicles to stand the test of time and promote higher resale value.


I think BMW wasn't included because they haven't been doing much differently with their cars year to year (even if they are putting out 2024 models) by introducing a bunch of new technological systems. BMW consistently uses a lot of the same systems from previous models on new models with minor improvements which makes troubleshooting problems easier and part replacement easier because some parts are direct fits from previous year models. Bag gets ran when you taking it to dealer w/o a warranty.

But some of these new cars listed try to max out on amenities then come the errors. Sometime its so much shit going on with Mercedes you dont even use all its amenities and features so you don't even know when one is broke and needs fixing.
