2006 Least Reliable Luxury Cars



Remember Mark Johnston? The owner of Grand Prix Motors of Los Angeles, California is suing Mercedes-Benz for the $1.7 million AMG CLK-GTR he purchased from the automaker. Apparently the super car had a few problems like tripped oil lamps, hydraulic jack system failure, and "unglued" windows,
none of which Mercedes-Benz is willing to repair.

Well, while the AMG CLK-GTR didn't show up on Forbes' least reliable luxury vehicle list, five did based on data from J.D. Power and Associates and Consumer Reports. The vehicles are:
  • Land Rover LR3 SUV
  • Land Rover Range Rover SUV
  • Lincoln Navigator SUV
  • Saab 9-3 (pictured is the 2007 model)
  • Volkswagen Touareg SUV
The details as to how these vehicles "qualified" can be found in the article below. Do you agree or disagree? Is the list complete or would you have added a few more?
