Cliff's notes from the article, JD Power equally counts 'people being annoyed with buttons on a radio' with 'people with blown engines' as 'problems'. No individual or company can see the details unless they're willing to pay JD Power some large sum of money.
Aka, the survey is nonsense and no one should pay attention to it. |
Quoted for truth.
JD Power Surveys don't mean squat. Look closely at the methods they employ and anyone with any technical inkling will understand that "issues" are not clearly defined.
On the other hand, I would like stats like "# of engine code alerts", "# of transmission failures" (with the word failure clearly defined - ie: a clunk going into reverse is not a failure but a gear shifter jumping out of a gear is), that would make my car buying a WHOLE lot more educated than this crap.
