It’s time to check in on car problems! Let’s see which trucks and SUVs have racked up the most complaints during the past 90 days. This information could help you determine which used options to steer clear of. 

One truck and two SUVs had the most complaints 

1. 2020 Jeep Gladiator 

    The truck that received the most complaints during the past 90 days is the Jeep Gladiator. This is a bit surprising as it ranks as one of the most reliable mid-size trucks. It sits above the Toyota Tacoma. 

    Drivers have been reporting issues related to the dashboard lights because they cut out while driving. There is a recall for the instrument cluster in 2020 – 2023 models due to an internal short circuit that causes the display to go dark. 

    But drivers’ shared dealerships claim that the dashboard isn’t included in the recall. It could also be related to the loose grounds, faulty fuses, a dying battery, or alternator problems. 

    2. 2020 Hyundai Palisade 

      According to CarComplaints, drivers have been complaining about the 2020 Hyundai Palisade due to having worn-out rear shocks. But this isn’t the first time most have faced this issue. 

      Multiple drivers shared that they had the rear shocks replaced because they were leaking. However, the replacement shocks didn’t even last an entire year. 

      There isn’t a recall related to this issue. But a technical service bulletin shares that 2020 – 2021 models with self-level shocks need to be replaced due to bad insulators or leaking struts. The parts are covered by an extended 10-year/120,000-mile warranty. 

      3. 2016 Honda Pilot 

        Oh no, some drivers are dealing with problems related to the transmission jerking in the 2026 Honda Pilot. The jerking typically occurs while accelerating. 

        Once again, there isn’t an official recall related to this problem. A technical service bulletin recommends having the transmission fluid flushed or replacing the nine-speed automatic transmission. 

        The problem could be related to worn-out transmission components, contaminated fluid, low fluid, or software issues within the control module.
