my whole family drives fords n gm's. No Bs ither, we never had problem with any car,no car ever died for no reason, matter fact my uncles drive there caddis from jerz to North caralina like every 4 months and hes bin doing this fir 7 years now car run awsome with proper care,again didnt die for no reason.IF any thing its just as reliable as a honda, the key word is how you take care of your car. For instance, living in jersey city most ppl who drive an domestic treat it like ****, oh and if it was an import they wash there car blah blah they get there car/oil inspectd every month lol I hope you under stand what im saying ?

i can't believe jeep is in the bottom. my jeep has nearly 300,000 miles and have had no problems with it at all.

looks about right...

[m3rK201]

I agree that proper care and maintenance are keys to vehicle longevity ... But that still doesn't prove that American vehicles, in general, are more reliable than Japanese vehicles ...

By the way, no one bashed any American cars ...

Oh i under stand what your saying buh not all japanse cars are reliable,mazda and mitsubishi imo arent up to par with honda and toyotas reliable.

[m3rK201]

You're retarded ...

And this is only for 2002 model year vehicles ...

ur car does not apply to new jeeps. VW used to be awesome great quality cars. Now its crap.

you have to realize they take anything and everything that causes the car to come back.

that can range from a bad starter to a broken knob on the stereo.

The reason why caddy/BMW/mercedes are so "unreliable" according to that list is not because the motor designs **** - its because they have SO MUCH shyte on them... and there is SO MUCH that can go wrong with all of it.

Had they had of just gone by motor/tranny reliability those results may have been completely different.

Also take into account that not *all* the problems will ever be reported. Some easy fixes on certain cars will never be reported, and could possibly sway the results. Someone who just bought a brand new caddy/benz isn't going to want to tinker with their car - they pay for perfection. Someone who buys a civic can live with simple stuff going wrong.

The results are somewhat swayed, but they can give you some sort of an idea.... just way too general.

my mazda has 210,000 miles thank you....and this was when MAZDA made mazda....now its a ****** domestic company.


well atleast ford owns them now

[Spkrman]

^^^ That is true ...

I wish they'd go by average cost per year (maintainence, repair, fuel) rather than problems per year but that would take a lot more effort ...

However, this still shows who has the best quality control ...

yea, that would be *the* way to do it. But yep... ton more work, and who wants to bother

Its not quality control as much as design. If a light goes out on the dash and your alternator no longer works, thats just a stupid design. Or if you take out your stock radio and your airbags don't work... things like that. Now if one thing that you may not care about breaks, you are going to have many more problems - something that requires warranty work.

Lets say you blow the fuse in your cig lighter... and you are a compete n00b and dont know what just happened. You PROBABLY won't take that in. But if that fuse blows, and all the lights in your dash go out, that means your bringing the car in.

GM is notorius for making completely unrelated things dependent on eachother... kinda like wiring in series vs wiring in parralel. Series, one goes out, and they all go out... parallel one goes and the other still works.

I'll take a well designed, well maintained, SIMPLE car any day

Hyundai nudged ahead of american cars? wow...

and I'm not suprised with Mercedes build quality these days.
