Paint was the biggest category of complaints.

#8 2014, 2017 Ford Escape

Position 8 is another 4 way tie. The first two slots are filled by the 2014 and 2017 Ford Escape.

The engines do not make the customer happy.

"2017 ford escape SE with only 40,000 miles and maintenance maintained consistent now has check engine light on and coolant intrusion into cylinder 1, misfiring and mechanic says need long block replacement. No recall issued, not covered under warranty. Multiple law suits filed by other consumers in the past and present. This is a known issue and needs to be covered by Ford."

#8 2017 Ford Focus

Like it's Edge sibling the engine received a lot of complaints. As a bonus so did the transmission.

"I put my car in reverse and it would not move. it acted like it was in neutral. when I turned the car off and back on it reversed just fine. it also stalls like it is going to shut off when I get gas. and it takes it a minute to register the rpms when I take off."

#8 2018 Toyota Camry

A surprise entrant had complaints submitted about engine cooling and the transmission.

"I have a 2018 Camry XSE that has 42,200 miles on it. My Camry has never given me any problems until Saturday, Jan. 06, 2024. I contacted Toyota Care since my car was over heating and so I had it towed to the Penske Toyota of Downey. My car started over heating while driving it all of sudden and the dash alerted me of temperature being high. The car won't go more than 20 mph and the rmp's was at 1 & 2 moving back and forth. I had just entered the FWY and had to exit immediately to a safe location. I recently to my car for service on Dec. 14, 2023 for maintenance which included inspection of the car. I've been taking my Camry to this same dealership since I bought it June 2019 and have done all the required/recommended services. I am being informed that water pumps usually don't go bad this early on. I am super worried and concerned because to replace the water pump the dealership is now charging me over $1,000.00. I am wondering whether the water pump should be added to the recall list."

Honorable Mention: 2017 BMW X1

It's a low seller but it got a significant amount of complaints.

"Warning saying Secure Vehicle from Rolling. Spring in the shifter is broken."
