Vehicles that will not leave the industry in 2026 have been revealed: 80 percent more malfunctions! There are popular models in the list

US-based consumer organization Consumer Reports has published its comprehensive reliability report that is of great concern to car owners. The report revealed the difficulties experienced by the owners of rechargeable hybrid models (PHEV), which are marketed as an important part of the electric vehicle revolution. According to the data obtained, vehicles with both gasoline and electric engines have 80 percent more malfunctions compared to conventional internal combustion models. RANGE ANXIETY IS OVER, SERVICE WORD HAS BEGIN For many users, rechargeable hybrids are preferred because they greatly reduce the range anxiety in electric vehicles. The gasoline engine, which is activated in case the battery runs out, promises drivers a safe ride. However, Consumer Reports data shows the other side of the coin. The complexity of having two separate powertrains significantly increases the likelihood of vehicles breaking down. The report states that, in addition to models such as the discontinued Ford Escape PHEV, current vehicles such as the Mazda CX-90 PHEV, Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Volvo Consumer Reports Automobile Testing Senior Director Jake Fisher attributes the main reason for the problems to the innovation of the technology: “Most of the problems in electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles are due to the fact that they are newer designs compared to gasoline technologies. Naturally, it takes time to fix some problems.” It is pointed out that standard hybrid technology, such as the Toyota Prius, which has been on the market for about thirty years, causes 15 percent fewer problems than even gasoline vehicles, thanks to its “tried and approved” nature. TESLA RECORDED, HYUNDAI AND CHARGING UNIT PROBLEM IN KIAAnother noteworthy title of the report was the changes experienced on a brand basis. Electric vehicle giant Tesla seems to have largely overcome reliability problems in its models other than Cybertruck. Model Y, the brand’s popular vehicle, received the title of the most reliable new electric car according to the survey results. On the other hand, things are not going well on the Hyundai, Kia and Genesis front. Electric models from South Korean manufacturers have fallen behind in reliability lists due to a faulty “integrated charge control unit” that can cause power loss while driving. Experts emphasize that a single faulty part can affect more than one brand and model at the same time, as a disadvantage of using common parts. RELATED NEWS
