The latest dependability study results from J.D. Power make for grim reading if you’re in the market for a new car. The longer-term reliability of two thirds of all brands has decreased, and industry-wide, drivers are experiencing 190 problems per 100 vehicles.
That’s 4 more problems per 100 vehicles than the study found 12 months ago. Worse still, the rate at which problems present themselves has increased. A year ago, 12 percent of people experienced an issue in the first 90 days to three years of ownership. Now, the rate is up to 17 percent.
It should be noted here that JD Power’s 2024 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study collected feedback from 30,595 original owners of 2021 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. This study took place from August through November 2023.

I have had 5 Mazda’s and never one problem with any of them.
They’ve got my vote. However, my ‘04 Tacoma’s paint job is in pretty bad shape.
Ram above "Fix Or Repair Daily" is a surprise.
Isn’t there a Chrysler hotline to talk people out a making decisions they will regret?
Where’s Tesla?
I’ve had good experiences with Toyotas so maybe I did something right.
Buick essentially TIES with Toyota?
Seems very suspect.
One thing about Chrysler: they have many offering in the muscle car tier.
Look at chart again. The gray area. 252
i have to laugh at wretched Audi down there with the chisler junk.
most over-hyped cars ever.
Not surprising. My wife’s Toyota Sienna has over 314,000 and still runs great. A half axle broke, but it was a replacement part that broke, not a Toyota part.
correct, did not look beyond the top chart. TY.
Don't feel bad. Last month I traded my wife's 2014 Toyota Sienna (75k) in on a brand-new Kia Carnival.
The Toyota power train is bulletproof but everything else on the vehicle was falling apart.
One thing about Chrysler: they have many offering in the muscle car tier.

They don’t. Those belong to Dodge. Chrysler has only one model. The Pacifica.
“Buick essentially TIES with Toyota?”
Or cheaprolet up there. must have one product holding things up.
I never even see cheaprolet stuff other than rental fleets.
Cummins helped with that.
They're been bullet-proof.
Equally dependable has been my 2014 Toyota Tacoma.
I believe all of these vehicles were assembled in the U.S. or Canada.
How Chevy near the top and GMC near the bottom when they are they same vehicle?
Similar experience with the pre-2010 models. Why do you think Honda’s are low in this report?
