EXACTLY!

I want to know about a vehicle in 90 months, not 90 days!

A person in my office was married 5 times. Was divorced 4 times. I'm sure she loved every one of her husbands for at least 90 days! :S

At wuz a 'gud 'un:B

I like the poll on RV's the first 90 day's...reckon any of them would come away unscathed?

Not gonna register to read it. My point is this: pick the survey you like and run with it. If you trust it and like the conclusions, that's good enough for me.

Why even bother? Pick the vehicle you like and run with it. Rarely do we take quality surveys into consideration. If the vehicle is never in the shop but you hate how it drives it's quality is kind of irrelevant. I had a 1995 Ford Explorer that was considered one of the highest quality vehicles made and mine literally fell apart as we drove it. Three MINI's later (granted, the oldest is only a 2011) and no issues with any of them yet they routinely fall at the bottom of the quality list. All of those surveys are very subjective in their questioning and interpretation. I drive what I like and worry about the rest later.

Then why doesn't every brand tie for first place? :?

Yeah, figures don't lie, but liars figure.

I see.

Hello Less...thank you, but FordLover actually did post (the 3rd one down) a workable, no-cost link to the feature in CBS Detroit with its embedded link to the survey.

Hello Pitch..."IMNSHO JD Power is the last to put credence in. How many people that you know are going to admit that they made a 40 or 50 thousand dollar mistake."...really? When you've bought a vehicle and something didn't work right out of the box, YOU wouldn't complain??!!

goducks..."They need a poll for RV's in the 1st 90 days." OMG!!! I can't imagine how bad THAT ONE would look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta do some checking, maybe JD Power does, or would do something like that.

Regards to all, BGood

JD power rankings

The latest ratings are out, Porshe is tops again. Lots of moves in the ranking this year, but I'm happy to see Ford is on the rise again, looks like they are making headway on the quirky MFT system, although ours has been flawless in our Edge which is two years old this month.

Looks like you can't get the story in your link of the OP, unless you pay for it.

Thanks to Poster Mr. Good we got the useable link, that doesn't require payment.

In reading the survey, in general.... Chevrolet is significantly better (106 problems) than Ford (116 problems) with fewer problems reported. Also Chevy is the top rated domestic. However still more work needs to be done as there are a few imports ahead...some of them luxury jobs though.

I'm starting to think that given this JD Power good rating, maybe Chevy with their many recalls is actively working out issues.

Other manufacturers should follow this example.
