You can say things like crickets shouldn't matter but they do. The reliability number is reflected by how many times the car gets taken in for work. So those people that have gone in and had their pumps replaced 4 times already, how do you think that reflects the reliability of the car?

If it was b/c the car was genuinely not reliable to drive, that's one thing. But the crickets were not a reliability issue, just an annoyance factor.
WHY a car goes into the shop matters just as much that it did.
And as the car has its little issues worked out and warrantied, it goes from "reliable but pay attention to TSBs" to "reliable enough for most idiots that drive to think it's reliable."
