> None of these car reviewers ever take into account build quality and customer issues.

Because most car reviewers' job is to explain new releases. Most issues arise after time, which reviewers generally don't get. MKBHD has gone into quality issues at times: see for example Cybertruck [1] and Fisker Ocean [2]. In their Q&A videos, the couple that does Motormouth [3] due mention reliability when asked for recommendations.

There are sources for reliability assessments, like J. D. Power and Consumer Reports.
