9. Dodge

Great used of the basement from the top of JD Power, Dodge goes up the slope, slowly but surely. After having been the worst brand according to the results of the winners of the 2016, it is passed to the fourth rank last year and is now ninth with 166 problems per 100 vehicles.

8. Ram

Always in the family of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), Ram has not done better than Dodge with a harvest of 167 problems per 100 vehicles. It is still better than the 183 problems that had been identified in the study last year.

7. Subaru

The japanese cars usually have a reputation for reliability that is strong enough, but some of them continue to have problems. This is the case for Subaru, which happens to equal with Ram with 167 problems per 100 vehicles.

6. Mitsubishi

Like last year, Mitsubishi remains in the shallows of the charts with 173 problems per 100 vehicles. With Subaru, are the only two japanese brands to be included in the table of dishonour.

5. Cadillac

In the General Motors luxury brand, Cadillac made a poor figure with 186 problems per 100 vehicles. Rather ironic, when you know that Chevrolet and Buick are part of the list of the 10 most trusted brands according to the same study.

1. Chrysler
