I agree with other posts that CR has issues with its data especially when getting down to the model year level. Old article, but basically what you can expect to go wrong. You can probably get access to this through your library, but the punch is that their are big differences in the cost to repair at 10 years old between brands. Cars, even 2013 cars, are pretty reliable. If you are buying a used vehicle out of warranty, look at the repair pal ranking.įinally, understand that reliability is an extremely difficult concept to grasp and quantify, and there is no one perfect ranking system.īottom of the article shows what the average cars break rates are. So in my opinion: If you are leasing, look at the JD power ranking - why do you care about issues after 3 years anyways? And besides, how expensive or difficult to fix an issue is doesn't matter, the number of dealer visits is what matters for you. Finally they weigh it by cost and then ranks according to that. Repair Pal collects data from independent shops (so think: after warranty repairs), and then weighs it by cost, frequency, and severity. So essentially, the JD Power Dependability index is the number of issues between when a car is 24 months to 36 months old. JD Power examines 3 year cars, and categorizes them by number of issues reported within the last 12 months. So first, let's examine the JD power rankings. Both are flawed, but it is important to understand how flawed. The Charger and Challenger keep pumping out increasingly powerful models, sure, but according to CR, they can take it: the Challenger is the most reliable vehicle Dodge makes.If you examine the methodology of the two, you'll realize that JD Power and Repair Pal compile completely different ratings. Dodgeĭropping by two spots over last year, Dodge still benefits from a venerable lineup of well-known models. It’s here where a few surprises show up… 10. Korea gets a strong showing with no less than three entries, plus there are appearances by German and American brands. Past that, however, the island nation only shows up one more time in the top 10. Like previous years, Japanese brands dominate the list, locking out the 2020 podium. Which automaker will give you the least issues overall on the new car market? Consumer Reports has the answer, with its list of the most reliable car brands of 2020.īrand loyalty is a real thing, and reputations for reliability play a key role.
