8 — Jeep Wrangler
Current generation: 2018
Planned redesign: since the current Wrangler model is relatively new on the market, the redesign of the Wrangler won’t come anytime soon, especially considering its continuing popularity; plus there’s the fact that the last version was offered relatively unchanged from 2007 to… 2017. When it ain’t broke…
Common problems identified: on-board electronics (multimedia system), steering, suspension.
Consumer Reports expects reliability to be well below average. On the other hand, owner satisfaction is above average.
7 — Alfa Romeo Giulia
Current generation: 2016
Planned redesign: it’s unclear what plans are brewing at Alfa Romeo for the Giulia sedan, which is frankly not selling well. However, it seems pretty certain that there will be a sequel to this model. Beyond that, the platform, the vocation, and even the name could change. Another story to be continued.
Common problems identified: electrical equipment, electronic components, air conditioning system.
Consumer Reports does not make any predictions regarding home-owner satisfaction due to insufficient data. It simply predicts below-average reliability.
