I'm surprised that Honda are only mid table!
Even more surprising that BMW are high up

My mate fixes cars , german cars give some greif these days they are now engineered by accountants , timing chains are big issue with them …. He could tell you better than me but german gear aint what it once was kia are as good as you get these days ..

Suzuki are not on the list.

Even the best are averaging over one problem per vehicle, would be interesting to see what they class as a problem.

 

[manfromhill]

Suzuki don’t sell in America

Yesla 5th from bottom

Land Rover only a tiny fraction less reliable than Audi.....I don't understand the fuss.

I suppose they've had to cut back on quality manufacturing to find the money to pay for all these emissions claims they've been inundated with ....ouch

Modern rubbish

Interesting that Infiniti which is Datsuns Lexus equivalent is a good bit lower down than Nissan.

So a complex 4wd vehicle like a LR has, on average, 1 problem per new vehicle more than a Nissan car; wow.
Doesn't necessarily conflate that that 1 extra problem is always a broken crankshaft.

It's the rich wealthy people who buy new landrovers these days, they probably have someone to take the car to the garage for them, and they don't keep them very long before they buy their next new one.
Rockstars, popstars celebrities footballers etc are JLR's main market these days, I doubt many of them know where the dipstick is, oh i forgot it electronic.... But you get my drift.

That’s quite a generalisation! I don’t really get your drift, what’s your beef?

New defender actually has a dipstick to check the oil .

When my land rover discovery broke the crankshaft at 85000 miles I sold it to my local land rover specialist he put another engine in it he said it’s broken again still hasn’t done 100K bloody glad I got shot of it.

I was thinking more range rovers really. They don't really seem to be for the work environment anymore, ie too hightech too expensive. I light years away from the previous defender that made them. It was made to take a knock or two.
The majority of the costumers who buy them in US probably never tow anything with them and probably don't drive off road much either let alone use them to work with

Nissan do not make reliable cars.

How in the ever-living fudge are Tesla so low down the list? They don't make cars with engines for fudgesake.
