Full List of 2024 Most & Least Reliable Car Brands in the USA - Compiled by Consumer Reports.

Consumer Reports is an independent, nonprofit member organization that works side by side with consumers for truth, transparency, and fairness in the marketplace.

Interesting to see Tesla at No.17 / 22 and interesting to see this from India sales perspective also as to which brands are working harder in the US and which are not.

Consumer Reports had insufficient data to create brand rankings for Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Lucid, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Mitsubishi, Polestar, Porsche, and Ram.

Interesting, Mercedes-Benz not on the reliability list while Audi (sister brand VW is among the least reliable) and BMW are. That the Japs take the top 6 spots isn't surprising

Well, already mentioned in above post that they did not have sufficient data for some brands including Merc.

"Consumer Reports had insufficient data to create brand rankings for Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Lucid, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Mitsubishi, Polestar, Porsche, and Ram."

There is another article for best brands in US where Merc is at no.23 / 32.
