A report by Consumer Reports lists 3 new models to avoid. There’s new Subaru, Buick and GMC models they say to stay away from.
Should you stay away from a new revamped model when it first comes out from an automaker? According to Consumer Reports (CR) Reliability Survey for 2017, there’s 17 newly-redesigned models to avoid. CR says, “Updated models are now more likely than older ones to have a wonky engine, a jerky transmission, or high-tech features that fail outright.”
