I'd like to see a comparison of failure rates to other vehicles using an equivalent proportion.
Failure rates are extremely difficult to determine. The extended warranty companies release their findings but those are older cars and they don't include mileage or reason for failure.

Manufacturers aren't going to release failure rates for obvious reasons. Parts per million I would guess a good number for the major companies would be less than 50.
