SHOPPING FOR A USED CAR? DON'T BUY THESE 5 OR ELSE...

Written by: Sindi Wasserberg Lash

According to the latest dependability study from J.D. Power and Associates and Consumer Reports, the following 5 used cars flunked with flying colors:


1) 2008 VW Beetle - owners had trouble with climate control system and power equipment.


2) 2008 VW Passat - shocking because this car gets rave reviews when new. Consumer Reports give it a below-average rating due to problems with the fuel, electrical and climate systems and power equipment.


3) 2008 GMC Acadia - received a worse-than-average rating from Consumer Reports due to problems with the audio system and suspension.


4) 2008 Ford Expedition  - also has a worse-than-average rating by Consumer Reports due to problems with the transmission and audio system.

5) 2008 Chrysler Town and Country - This is the year that the manufacturing quality declined for Chrysler. Consumer Reports give it a much-worse-than-average rating due to problems with brakes, suspension, power equipment and climate system.
