Consumer Reports mined its annual auto survey to see which car models its members found to be the least reliable.

The data comes from more than 300,000 respondents in the U.S. and looked at 20 different trouble areas, like squeaky breaks, deteriorating interior trim, and EV charging problems.

To find the least reliable cars, the publication rated each factor by severity and gave each car a total score.

Check out which cars were deemed the least reliable by Consumer Reports’ survey — and shop with caution if you’re in the market for a new vehicle.
