One of the major things to consider when shopping for a new car is it's reliability. It's difficult to gauge a car's reliability. After all, each car has a unique history, is handled accordingly, and drives on various routes. As a result, you can't assess the durability of each vehicle individually. Of course, cars with better reliability manage to earn better reputation for the brand.

Many automakers struggle with reliability. Consumer Reports and JD Power, for example, have used polls and figures to estimate the reliability of new vehicles over the years. A variety of famous brands have produced rather unreliable vehicles in the past- and recent times haven't been much different. Below we have compiled a list of the most unreliable new cars available in the market.

8 Volvo XC90

According to Consumer Reports, the 2021 XC90 is the least reliable brand-new Volvo. The drive system, suspension, brakes, body integrity, and power equipment are the most troublesome areas, according to Consumer Reports. As a result, XC90 issues have been identified in a number of critical components. In addition, Consumer Reports has reviewed every XC90 model since its debut.

Despite these severe shortcomings, Volvo's flagship SUV impressed during the road test. The XC90 outperformed the competition in terms of acceleration, transmission, braking, and comfort, according to Consumer Reports. The end result is that, while the Volvo XC90 is the least reliable of the lot when it works, it offers a fantastic SUV experience.

7 The Jeep Wrangler

The advantages of a Jeep Wrangler include superior off-roading capability, the rugged style, and a great lineage. The price is kept high by the novelty and popularity associated with Wranglers by their fans. The 2020 Jeep Wrangler, however, has proven to be one of the most unreliable vehicles of the year, according to the official consumer survey.

The Jeep Wrangler's in-car electronics are one of the most notable places where it gets a poor reliability rating. Technical problems result in exorbitant repair costs and days without the car while it is in the mechanic's shop. The body durability of the 2020 Jeep Wrangler earns a shockingly low rating. This is one of the last aspects of any vehicle about which one should be concerned. Body issues will result in costly repairs and days without your car while it is in the body shop. Despite these reasons, fans of the brand still purchase the Wrangler.

6 Chevrolet Camaro

According to Consumer Reports, the Chevrolet Camaro ranks among the most unreliable cars. Most of the flaws of a Camaro are pretty much the same every year, like low visibility and interior materials that feel cheap. The Camaro sold fewer units last year, about 48,000, than it did the year before. In contrast, the previous-generation Camaro sold over 73,000 units in its first year on the market. Most people conclude that the Camaro is approaching the end of its life cycle as a result of decreasing sales.

The Camaro's other attributes aren't nearly as enticing. The cabin has a lot of plastics and low-quality materials, and the back seat is very uncomfortable. However, the Camaro is definitely worth considering from an efficiency perspective. It fulfills all of the requirements for a sleek, high-performance muscle car. It comes with powerful V6 and V8 engines that offer exhilarating acceleration, and the Camaro's sensitive steering makes it just as much fun to throw into a corner as it is to rocket away from a stop.

5 Nissan Titan

The 2021 Nissan Titan isn't the most famous pickup on the market. Unfortunately, it isn't the most dependable pickup choice nowadays either. The Nissan Titan has issues with more than just reliability as well. The bottom of the windshield pillars is very large, and its big, square hood makes it impossible to see where the truck's front end begins.

The tires can develop a crack in the sidewall, resulting in abrupt air loss or belt edge displacement, which may lead to tread/belt loss, putting you at greater risk of crashing. However, the 2021 Nissan Titan isn't completely doomed. It also has a lot of tech-friendly features on the inside.

4 Volkswagen Atlas

The Volkswagen Atlas' expected reliability is a dismal 1/5, according to Consumer Reports. Although the Atlas' engine and transmission have improved in reliability over the last two years, many other critical areas such as the fuel system, chassis integrity, and control equipment have remained unchanged or deteriorated.

The lug bolt holes on the wheels are machined wrongly, preventing the wheel bolt from completely connecting with the wheel bearing hub. A wheel that isn't properly attached to the car will come off, increasing the likelihood of a crash. Sections of the front seat frame and backrest adjuster are not properly welded. The backrest adjustment could break in the event of a rear-end collision, potentially decreasing passenger restraint and increasing the risk of injury. The strut mounting area on the front steering knuckle might crack, which can cause the car to lose control, putting you at risk of crashing.

3 Tesla Model S

When it comes to electric vehicles, the Tesla Model S is one of the first that comes to mind. However, in recent years, the six-figure Model S has been afflicted by reliability concerns. From the air suspension to the main touchscreen turning blank, they can't be overlooked.

According to a new investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 158,000 Model S and Model X vehicles may have screen problems. The 17-inch screen could go blank or lose the reversing camera entirely. Such flaws would be troublesome but not fatal in a regular car.

2 Ford EcoSport

The Ford EcoSport's ignition will fail if the entertainment system is used for longer than 2 minutes before starting the engine. And this is a well-publicized dilemma with no known solution. EcoSport owners have filed seven lawsuits over the course of eight model years. In terms of reliability, it ranks seventh out of 42 qualifying Ford models.

The low-grade cabin may get one concerned about the EcoSport's long-term reliability. However, the mechanical components should not be questioned. Ford has been using the EcoBoost gasoline engine in a range of its models for a few years, with no significant problems reported during that period.

1 Subaru Ascent

Although the Subaru Ascent performs well in short-term and road tests, it seems to fail in the long run. Consumer Reports conducted a study of Ascent owners and discovered some major problems. As a result, the big Subaru was ranked as one of the least reliable new SUVs on the market. The transmission, climate system, braking, control equipment, and in-car electronics were the most troublesome areas in the 2019 edition. The model seems to have undergone substantial changes with the 2020 model, with the transmission and power equipment categories being the only areas of concern.

The Subaru Ascent is one of the models being investigated for a faulty fuel pump, which is a Denso supplier problem affecting other automakers. Subaru has issued a recall for 2019 Ascent models in order to repair defective fuel pumps. The open tailgate kills the battery, the windshield breaks quickly, and the SUV struggles to start are few major issues with the 2019 Ascent.
