Top Lemons: Consumer Reports the Worst Cars and their Top Problems

Here are the top worst new cars out there, according to Consumer Reports:

The Fiat 500L: The boxy Italian design has a balky infotainment system, using a version of Chrysler Group’s UConnect, and transmission issues.

The Ford Fiesta: Owners responding to Consumer Reports’ survey didn’t like its automatic transmission. We would add the Ford Focus that uses the same crappy DSP6 Transmission.

The Mercedes Benz CLA: A raft of problems, including squeaks and rattles; engine issues, bad audio and electrical problems.

The Jeep Cherokee, with the four-cylinder engine: The nine-speed transmission was an issue and the four-cylinder version had twice as many complaints as the V-6.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee, with the diesel engine: Owners reported that the new engine gave them fits when it came to the fuel system.

The Nissan Pathfinder: The new one has a new CVT and owners didn’t like it at all.
