Each year, Consumer Reports sends out its exclusive Annual Auto Surveys to gain insight into vehicle reliability. The magazine sends out a report to its readers, asking questions, including any problems they’ve had with their vehicle in the last 12 months. The magazine then sorts through that data, compiling results for vehicles built since 2000. “Our surveys take a deep dive into the numerous things that can go wrong with a vehicle,” Consumer Report explains. “We study 17 trouble areas, from nuisances — such as squeaky brakes and broken interior trim — to major bummers, such as out-of-warranty transmission repairs and trouble with four-wheel-drive systems.” After sorting the data and analyzing it, Consumer Reports then assigns a reliability score based on a 100-point scale determined by the number of reported problems. The lower the score, the least reliable — a title that the Ford F-150 Hybrid wins.
