Crossovers continue to be one of the most popular cars on the world's roads. Despite the large number of reliable models, there are many options on the secondary market that can become a real headache for their owners.
If you are planning to buy a used car and want to avoid expensive repairs, pay attention to these 10 crossovers that were noted for problems, writes SUV News.
1.Chery Tiggo
Did you know that Chery Tiggo ranks first in the anti-rating for unreliability? This budget crossover has significant drawbacks. With a run of about 200 km, the Tiggo already looks quite worn, and the reason lies in the Chinese quality of the assembly. Damage to the interior and corrosion of the body can occur after several years of operation. Owners note frequent engine breakdowns, which makes it one of the most problematic crossovers in its class.
2. SsangYong Actyon
SsangYong Actyon took second place in the list of problem cars, and it is not without reason. Fuel consumption, erratic transmission and fuel requirements make it a less attractive option. Owners complain of frequent engine breakdowns and timing problems after 50 km. If you are looking for a reliable crossover, the Actyon is unlikely to meet your expectations.
3 Renault Duster
Renault Duster can hardly be called a problem-free choice. This crossover is famous for its off-road capabilities, but there are many complaints about the quality of the suspension, steering and braking system already after 2-3 years of operation. As for the interior, cheap plastic and poor air conditioning also do not please the owners.
4.Hyundai Tucson
Hyundai Tucson of the new generation does not please the owners as much as its predecessors. Problems with the rear suspension, hard oil changes, and automatic transmission repair times caused many complaints. Additionally, despite the price hike, owners face increased oil consumption and a host of mechanical problems.
5 Nissan Qashqai
The first Nissan Qashqai cannot boast of quality. Although the car is popular and durable, the engine has a reputation for being unreliable. Its variator depends on the quality of the oil, and the suspension needs frequent repairs. If you are considering this car, be prepared for maintenance costs.
6.Nissan Juke
The Nissan Juke crossover until 2014 has a reputation for being unreliable. Equipping it with a small variator is problematic, and hard plastic and poor noise insulation make many think twice before buying. Owners notice problems with the suspension system and increased oil consumption.
7. Kia sportage
Kia Sportage of the third generation provides a stylish design, but models before 2014 often need repairs. Problems with electronics and automatic transmission arise at fairly early stages. The 2.0-liter engine can also be a source of trouble.
8. Nissan Murano
The Nissan Murano was once considered a premium car, but is now best avoided due to its high price and unreliability. Fuel consumption and engine problems require careful consideration before purchase.
9. Peugeot 2008
This French crossover Peugeot 2008 has a high price, but the illiquidity of the secondary market makes it less attractive. Problems with electronics in cold weather, engine malfunctions - all this makes you refrain from buying.
10.Mazda CX-7
The last, but no less problematic – Mazda CX-7. A powerful engine, but high fuel consumption and timing problems jeopardize the reliability of the car. Serious problems with the engine may occur after a run of more than 100 km.
Do not forget that when buying a used crossover, it is important to carefully check the condition of the car to avoid unexpected repair costs.
