23 2002 Lincoln Blackwood

The 2002 Lincoln Blackwood was a pickup truck that was supposed to end up being at the top of the automobile world. In terms of its design, it definitely looked quite nice, yet it would go on to have some major issues structurally.

At the end of the day, this pickup would end up failing entirely because of the of its many steering problems, according to carcomplaints.com. When seeing how it was awful when it came to working tasks as well, it makes sense that it would be tossed after just one release.

22 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
