These are the least reliable cars you can buy, according to a survey of more than 300,000 owners

• Consumer Reports released its annual ranking of the most- and least-reliable cars and brands. 

• Toyota and Lexus top the reliability list, while Chrysler, Jeep, Volkswagen and others fall near the bottom.

• Plug-in hybrids performed poorly in this year's survey, CR said.

Pickups might be America's sweethearts, but they're far from reliable.

The segment came in absolute last place in Consumer Reports' annual reliability rankings, behind even hybrids and EVs, which have seen an uptick in owner complaints.

To compile the list, the magazine collected surveys from owners of more than 330,000 vehicles. The surveys covered 2020-2023 model-year vehicles and some 2024 models. Consumer Reports asked owners about 20 "potential trouble areas" to create a score between 1 and 100 for each vehicle. Those scores influence an automaker's overall reliability ratings.

These are the 10 least-reliable brands this year, according to Consumer Reports. 

10. Dodge

Score: 42

Dodge and two of its sister brands under parent company Stellantis made the least-reliable list with low scores this year.

The Durango, the only Dodge model Consumer Reports included in the survey, got poor marks despite a decent score on the road test.

9. Ford

Score: 40

Ford's F-150 Hybrid was one of the least reliable vehicles in Consumer Reports' testing, with a score of just 54. Owners noted trouble spots in its transmission, electronics, battery, and more.

The electric F-150 Lightning scored better, but no hybrids or electric cars could beat the Maverick and Edge when it comes to reliability.

8. Lincoln

Score: 38

Lincoln's Corsair scored 10 points higher than the Aviator, but wasn't high enough to pull Ford's upscale brand out of the doldrums.

7. GMC

Score: 36

Pickup trucks came in last place of all vehicle types in Consumer Reports' survey, and they certainly did not help GMC.

Its Terrain and larger Sierra models scored almost decently, but four other poor scores for the Canyon, Yukon, Sierra 1500, and Yukon XL brought down GMC's average.

6. Volvo

Score: 28
