Jeeps had some of the lowest reliability scores in Consumer Reports' survey.
  • Consumer Reports released its annual ranking of the most- and least-reliable cars and brands. 
  • Toyota and Lexus top the reliability list, while Chrysler, Jeep, Volkswagen and others fall near the bottom.
  • Plug-in hybrids performed poorly in this year's survey, CR said. 

Pickups might be America's sweethearts, but they're far from reliable. 

The segment came in absolute last place in Consumer Reports' annual reliability rankings, behind even hybrids and EVs, which have seen an uptick in owner complaints.
