Story that goes with above chart:
These studies are useless as long as people are reporting the problems. Case in point I asked my wife how many problems she's had with her car her response was none. In reality I've had it to the dealer twice once to update the transmission shift patterns to stop me getting whiplash and once for the gps/audio system. She asked me about my car and it turns out I too was wrong. Our emotions come into play when you are reviewing the car if you like the car you are less likely to remember the small things if you don't like the car you will remember everything.
Good point....I've owned Jeeps since 1984, Wranglers, Grand Cherokee Limiteds, Liberty, Patriot and now a Compass...TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, problem ridden cars and in the 30 years I've owned all of them, I never had the FIRST problem, nothing, only in shop to get an oil change or tire rotation, and only then if it was free......
same with Ram...three of them, yeah, only 3 years, not an issue, none....but I'll give it time.
....but I also owned an 05 Chevy 3500 Dually with the LLY, (overheating) and in all the mountain towing I done, I only saw temp gage go up one time, which STILL didn't cause any lights or alarms to go off and that was that...had it for 2.5 years and other than seeing temp. gage go up the one time...that was it.
yeah, sometimes these charts nothing more than propaganda or just a stupid joke.
For what one would pay of a Mercedes or Lexus, I would CERTAINLY HOPE that their reputation is WAYYYYYY up there....it has been for years, and years and years and, well, you get the drift.
