Out of 100 cars, buyers reported 113 problems.

6. Audi


2017 Audi SQ7 TDI | Audi

5. Mazda

From the Mazda3 to the full-size CX-9 SUV, the company has found a way to make every model it offers almost as fun to drive. Unfortunately, it still falls short in terms of quality. New Mazda owners reported 125 problems for every 100 cars.

3. Mitsubishi


2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross | Mitsubishi

Quality is just one of this struggling automaker’s problems. After years of turmoil, Mitsubishi is now under the Nissan umbrella and trying to re-establish itself as a worthy contender on the increasingly tight market. Despite some success with the Outlander crossover lineup, the brand continues to struggle. Out of 100 vehicles sold, buyers reported 131 problems.

2. Volvo

2017 Volvo XC90 

1. Jaguar


2017 Jaguar XJ | Jaguar

Despite a segment-leading warranty, this brand can still be a headache. In 2015, Jaguar attempted to buck its decades-old reputation for being unreliable by unveiling the Jaguar EliteCare warranty plan. At five years/60,000 miles, it’s one of the best warranties offered by a premium automaker. Unfortunately, buyers might have to use it more often than they’d like. Out of every 100 cars, buyers reported a frustrating 148 issues.
