Consumer Reports indicates that Volkswagen’s Touareg is one of least reliable new cars on the market.
Apparently it is 27 times more likely to have a problem than the most reliable vehicle. The Touareg is a pretty fancy vehicle and has a good new car warranty, but with all the potential for problems, the warranty might not be much help or much consolation.
We would be interested in hearing from people having issues with these vehicles.
Consumer Reports has listed Ford as “World Class.” The only American Company out of the big three (General Motors and Chrysler being the other two) to get this status.

What about their vehicles though? We are still seeing new car warranty issues with Ford vehicles and lemon law claims in Ohio and Pennsylvania at the normal historical rate.
What are the real consumers out there reporting, good or bad? We would like to know in an effort to monitor automobile lemon law claims for new Ford vehicles in Ohio and PA (Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in particular)
Came across an article that might be interesting if you are buying a new car and want to keep it American! This article talks about 6 American cars that might be worth looking at if you are in the market for a new vehicle.
These are the ones on the list and some notes about my experiences: Ford Fusion (not too many cases for auto lemon law on this one); Chevrolet Malibu (I have actually had a couple lemon law cases with this vehicle); Cadillac CTS (I don’t agree with this one because I have had 4 or 5 lemon law cases on a CTS in the past 6 months, having to do with all sorts of problems but mainly electrical issues), Chrysler Town and Country (haven’t seen too many problems here), Ford Excape Hybrid (none so far), Tesla Roadster (no lemon cases).
If you own a Saturn vehicle don’t be concerned about Saturn closing. You can still bring an automobile lemon law claim. General Motors has agreed to honor lemon law and warranty claims throughout the country. Your new car warranty will still be in effect. Car recalls can still be addressed. Vehicle defects that can’t be repaired should still qualify under your State Lemon Law.
