CR 2016 New Car Reliability Ratings...

toyota is still pretty consistent -- should be interesting to see how the G3 taco affects the rankings next year as more hit the roads.

 

Kinda funny that Buick, a division of GM, is in the top bunch. I think that is probably a reflection of how owners maintain their cars rather than initial quality/reliability.

 

LOL Jeep

 

I don't know much about Jeeps. One guy posted on this form who was a hardcore Jeep guy, and was selling his 2016 Rubicon after 3 months because he couldn't trust it. Fuel line came out, rear diff leaked, etc.

They must really be freaking terrible these days. Thing that's crazy is they are still PRICEY too.

 

Nothing beats the old CJ, YJ, and TJ model Jeeps. These new JK models (2007 to present) are complete junk.

Long live the 4 banger and straight six life!

 

I'm having similar issues with my 2016 Tacoma..so Toyota is not immune.

 

I didn't say Toyota wasn't immune. In fact, I bought mine in 2014 because I knew the 3rd gen was coming out soon, and very often in the auto industry (hell any vehicle industry), there's issues with the first model year of a new generation. It's a tough engineering problem to solve, creating a vehicle. Usually you solve it and the execs come back at you saying you need to cut something like 25% of your cost to be competitive. This causes the majority of the issues

Sorry to hear your 3rd gen experience is bad. So far I'm really digging my 2nd gen, and I wouldn't trade it for any new vehicle today.
