Least Reliable Cars per Carwow and WarrantyWise

This list is littered with the usual suspects but surprisingly Mercedes did reasonably well with only one model on there (BMW had three I think). Their method of ranking was based on warranty claims, so take that for whatever it’s worth.

Basically nothing.
Now try Scotty Kilmer. He makes his Million$ bashing anything he can think of, right or wrong.
That's the YouTube scam. Bash it and they will subscribe. And you can get Rich.
Credible? Hardly.

P.S. posting all these "finds" kind of loses credibility, too. Don't start posting the Flat Earth theory, just because you can find them. Please!

This video isn’t bashing anything. It’s just reporting a ranking based on warranty claims.

I work at an European independent. BMWs might be the single biggest piles of crap around. I'm astounded by their popularity, they make VAG products look like Toyotas.

My apologies. Somehow I saw a different video, and when I went back to look at it I saw the CarWow reporting. It was actually pretty well done and after he explained their methodology, it made sense.

But only for cars older than 4 years, because it's aftermarket warranty policies, that don't take effect until after the manufacturers' warranty.

So we won't see the 167 outcomes for another two or three years, depending upon the model.

For those that can afford a W222, I highly doubt a similar report back then would have deter them from leasing or making a purchase since these are usually kept 3 - 4 years before they move on to a new one (facelift cycle or new gen). With the vehicle still in-warranty, the out of pocket would be zero, although there's the hassle of bringing it to the dealer. Definitely an eye opener though for second-hand buyers to be cautious.

It amazes me that Mercedes-Benz's flagship vehicle makes any list for unreliability. I understand that the S-Class has always been the testbed for all new technology and innovations from MB.
