2025 Cars to Skip: The Inside Scoop on the Worst Vehicles, Trucks & SUVs

10.Lincoln Aviator

The Lincoln Aviator, despite its luxury appeal, has been plagued by reliability issues. Lincoln earned the unfortunate distinction of being the most unreliable automaker in 2021, and the Aviator is no exception. Problems with everything from airbags to the vehicle's electronics have been reported, making it a less-than-ideal choice for those seeking a dependable luxury SUV.

Maintenance for the Aviator is also on the expensive side, with CarEdge estimating a cost of $12,000 over 10 years. This doesn’t even account for the occasional major repair, which has been a frequent concern for owners. If you're looking for a reliable luxury SUV, you might want to look elsewhere, as the Aviator's recurring issues could end up costing you more in the long run.
