WhatCar specialists have compiled another rating of the most unreliable luxury cars based on requests from the owners of these cars to technical centers over the past two years.
So, almost 60% of Audi A3 owners had to complain about problems associated with the operation of the multimedia system, which suffers from “breakdowns” and inconsistencies with mobile devices. The owners of the “four rings” regularly encounter difficulties when they “communicate” with incorrect navigation. Much worse, however, is that the owners of the A3 systematically turned to a car service because of gearbox problems and a quickly discharged battery. In addition, troubleshooting in the technical areas took at least a week from the military, forcing the owners of the German premium to run.
It is curious that consumers with excellent reviews of the diesel Volvo V40 massively scold the gasoline versions of the model. Just under 20% of owners of Scandinavian “premiums” suffer from defects in the operation of the power unit, and at the same time from the indecently fast “dying” battery, weak body paint and fragile suspension. As in the case of Audi, Volvo drivers lost the car that was sent for repair for at least a week.
The crossover Volvo XC60, which also suffered from corrosion of body elements and even side beams, was also on the list of the most “dead” cars. In addition, users of 2-liter gasoline versions are repeatedly faced with “oil burner” and the occurrence of abrasion in the cylinders. And this, as you might guess, pretty quickly turns the engine into a useless piece of metal.
The British MINI Clubman is also unreliable and regularly causes problems for its owners with faults in the air conditioning system, electronics, exhaust and suspension. In addition, experts called the body of the car a weak point. Although it only took a few days for the military to correct technical flaws.
Much more serious is the problem with the Mercedes-Benz GLK, which is plagued by premature stretching of the timing chain, causing a slipping camshaft sprocket to lead to valve damage. Moreover, we are talking about almost all engines in the power line – from the 2-liter “four” to the mighty V6. The latter, by the way, is prone to scoring in the cylinders, forcing owners to replace the entire engine. And the owners of “Mercedes” speak negatively about the seven-speed “automatic”, which often overheats and quickly “dies”.
