J.D. Power and Associates Releases 2010 Vehicle Dependability Study Results


 2007 Lincoln MKZ

J.D. Power and Associates yesterday released its 2010 Vehicle Dependability Study Results. The study surveys owners of 3-year old models that were purchased new and asks them if they have experienced any of almost 200 different problems within the last 12 months. The results of the study help educate consumers when considering the next new or used car purchase. Manufacturers also pay attention, giving them insight into what they need to do to build better models.

Porsche leads the overall rankings, but some big improvements were seen from domestic automaker Ford. All of its Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands placed in the top 10 of the list with Lincoln showing the most significant improvement, climbing six positions from 2009 to rank second. The redesigned Lincoln Navigator contributed to Lincoln's rank position this year, improving by 61 PP100. Other notable Lincoln vehicles are the Mark LT and MKZ. Both ranked highest in dependability in their award segments:

  • Entry Premium Vehicle – Lincoln MKZ (97 PP100)
  • Large Premium MAV – Lincoln Mark LT (120 PP100)

Mercury improves this year by 10 PP100 and remains in fifth place. The Mercury Montego (83 PP100) is the Large Car award recipient.

Ford moves up four rank positions to 8th place with the Freestar (140 PP100) being the award recipient for the Midsize Van category.

Additional Ford segment leaders are:

  • MKZ – leads Entry Premium
  • Montego – leads Large car (500 tied in this category with Lucerne)
  • Freestar – leads Midsize van
  • Mark LT – leads Large premium (Navigator places 3rd in the segment)

That's not all. Ford also receives several Honorable Mentions:

  • Mustang – 3rd in Midsize Sporty car
  • Milan – 2nd in Midsize car
  • Town Car – 3rd Large premium
  • Freestyle – 3rd Midsize MAV
  • Expedition – 3rd Large MAV
  • F-150 – 2nd Large pickup
  • Ranger – 3rd Midsize pickup

Great post.

A young boy and his dad went out fishing one fine morning. After a few quiet hours out in the boat, the boy became curious about the world around him. He looked up at his dad and asked "How do fish breath under water?"His dad thought about it for a moment, then replied, "I really don't know, son."The boy sat quietly from another moment, then turned back to his dad and asked, "How does our boat float on the water?"Nnce again his dad replied, "Don’t know, son."Pondering his thoughts again, a short while later, the boy asks "Why is the sky blue?"Again, his dad replied. "Don’t know, son."The inquisitive boy, worried he was annoying his father, asks this time "Dad, do you mind that I'm asking you all of these questions?""Of course not son." replied his dad, "How else are you ever going to learn anything?"

Thanks

J.D. Power and Associates Reports:
Despite Higher Customer Satisfaction with the New-Vehicle Sales Process, Automotive Brands, on Average, Are Losing 12 Percent of Buyers to Competitors Due to Poor Customer Treatment at dealerships. which is affecting the sales at large, people should understand the importance of service, and how much it is important to any business. Hope the dealers understand that fast and help themselves............

I am only sorry for one

I am only sorry for one thing: that I didn't find this article in time to make a point. The auto industry has been registering some interesting trends in the last decade. People started buying cars not because they need the cars, but because they like them and they afford to pay for them. Also the evolution of the auto insurance quote was guided by the trends on the market. Thanks for sharing the review, it's been an interesting reading.

Surprising

These are really surprising stats. I was thought Suzuki and Mitsubishi produced pretty reliable vehicles. Its also surprising to see that Toyota is more reliable than Honda and Mercedes. Thanks for sharing these. contract hire

No big shocker in this

No big shocker in this particular J.D. report, most of the car manufacturers that people would expect are the leaders. The only thing that surprised me was that Porsche came out ahead of both Lexus. One of my friends works for our local dealership and said that they were shocked also. of I guess all of the recent car and truck recalls have started to finally effect them.

Great

Re:

Twenty-five of 36 vehicle brands have improved in long-term dependability in 2010, compared with their performance in 2009, continuing a steady trend of industry-wide improvement. However, for some of these brands, consumer perceptions have not kept pace with their actual performance, according to the J.D.
