Results of the newest iteration of the J.D. Power automotive reliability study has been released, and Ford and GM are sitting quite, reports the Detroit Free Press. Four of the top 10 brands listed in the J.D. Power and Associates study are part of Ford or GM. Overall, automotive dependability in the study was at the highest level since J.D. Power began the reliability study in 1990.
You can count on your vehicle
The global automotive industry is still planning to reclaim its previous place of glory in the public spotlight, and the reliability outcomes are a step in the correct direction, noted J.D. Power and Associates Vice President of Global Automotive, David Sargent.
"The fact that almost every brand improved ... at a time when the industry was really hurting is impressive and frankly surprising," he told the Detroit Free Press during an interview.
Behind both Lexus and Porsche were United States car makers such as Cadillac, which got the third lowest total reliability score. The J.D. Power study showed that automotive brands Lincoln, Ford and Buick did quite well though. The three brands got positions six through eight in the survey.
Difficulties per 100 vehicles and trucks acquired
For every 100 automobiles, there were 132 issues, according to the J.D. Power and Associates study. It figured this out by looking at cars purchased in 2009 and tracking them until present day. This is how the study figured out the average dependability of vehicles in the long-term.
A lot of pressure was put on the industry in 2009 as auto sales were at their lowest since 1970. It is "surprising" that there was an improvement in automotive dependability due to that and all the recalls that have happened from major car manufacturers, according to Sargent.
Chrysler brands ranked worst in study
First quality impressions for Chrysler brands evidently could not be separated from the negative public perception surrounding its 2009 bankruptcy, noted Sargent. Ram, Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler all fared poorly, with Chrysler finishing at the bottom of the study. This is in spite of the fact that each brand finished with better scores in this year's J.D. Power study than the previous year.
"There is no getting away from the fact that they are the four lowest ranking brands," said Sargent. "(Yet) the vehicles that they are bringing out now are significantly better than the vehicles they were building a few years ago."
Such as Japanese car producers in top 10
All of Toyota's automotive brands - Toyota, Lexus and Scion - hit the top 10 in the J.D. Power and Associates automotive dependability survey. Eight individual models from that brand finished first or tied for the honor in their automobile class. Scion made significant strides in particular, cutting troubles per 100 automobiles from 166 in 2011 to 111 this year.
"This is something Toyota has demonstrated over many years - it's pretty impressive," Sargent said. "What's a little new this year is Scion, which improved significantly."
