Top 5 least reliable vehicles with scores: F-150 Hybrid, Rivian R1T, Grand Cherokee, more
No. 5 — Jeep Grand Cherokee / Grand Cherokee L (Reliability score: 22 out of 100)
One of Jeep’s best-known nameplates finds itself in this anti-ranking. Owners most often point to issues with the following:
- Heating and ventilation;
- Braking system;
- Suspension components;
- Powertrain electronics.
These troubles show up in both the standard model and the extended Grand Cherokee L, and when core hardware and climate functions raise questions, everyday ease of use inevitably takes a hit.
No. 4 — Ford Escape Hybrid (Reliability score: 21 out of 100)
The popular crossover drew attention for complaints tied to failures in these systems and components:
- Battery pack;
- Electronic malfunctions;
- Braking system quality;
- Various fluid leaks.
Over the past few years, five official service campaigns were issued to address these shortcomings. For a mass-market model, repeated trips to the service bay can quickly sap buyer confidence.
No. 3 — Rivian R1T (Reliability score: 20 out of 100)
The new-generation electric pickup ran into a broad set of faults across key systems:
- Charging system,
- Battery-related problems,
- Air conditioning and heating,
- Brake design,
- Body components,
- Electronics integration.
Beyond the technical defects, there are concerns about build quality and overall execution — a reminder that early production phases can be uneven even for ambitious projects.
No. 2 — Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon (Reliability score: 15 out of 100)
These near-twin pickups are almost identical — including their low reliability. Typical pain points include:
- Engine hardware,
- Automatic transmission,
- Flaws in electronic controls,
- Fluid leaks,
- Subpar interior and exterior finish.
When platforms and parts are shared this closely, the problems tend to be shared as well, and it shows.
No. 1 — Ford F‑150 Hybrid (Reliability score: 7 out of 100)
The bottom spot goes to this hybrid pickup, which has led the tally of user complaints for three years running. Those grievances focus on the following:
- Insufficient battery efficiency;
- Transmission failures;
- Underdeveloped climate control;
- Widespread glitches in electronics and auxiliary equipment.
For three consecutive years, this vehicle has held first place among the least reliable models — a pattern that’s hard to overlook.
