How does Consumer Reports determine the most reliable car manufacturers?

To determine the most reliable car manufacturers, Consumer Reports uses surveys that it sends out to gather information about how well cars, trucks, and SUVs hold up. It takes into account 17 different common trouble areas. These include small annoyances like squeaky brakes to bigger problems like transmission and four-wheel drive problems. It assigns each of these issues a score from 1 to 100 to determine which are the most reliable cars, and which are the least.

Consumer Reports says that SUV models with good ratings will be the most reliable cars. They should give their owners fewer problems than other SUVs. They must have at least two model years’ worth of data to determine how reliable they are. The SUVs on the Consumer Reports list are the most reliable SUVs from the most reliable car manufacturers.
