Detailed auto reliability.(automobiles)(Product/service evaluation)
The charts on the following pages give you a model's complete reliability picture for both its used versions (2001 through 2006) and the new one currently on sale. These detailed reliability Ratings are based on our 2006 Annual Car Reliability Survey, for which we received responses for about 1.3 million vehicles.
The Annual Car Reliability Survey is sent to subscribers of CONSUMER REPORTS and ConsumerReports.org. In the 2006 survey, respondents reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles in any of the trouble spots included in the chart below during the previous year (April 1, 2005, through March 31, 2006) that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime. Because high-mileage vehicles tend to have more problems than low-mileage ones, problem rates are standardized to minimize differences related to mileage. The 2006 models were generally less than six months old at the time of the survey and had been driven an average of about 3,000 miles.
How to use the charts
MAJOR REDESIGNS
A model year in bold identifies the year the model was introduced or underwent a major redesign.
TROUBLE SPOTS
To assess a used car in more detail, look at the individual Ratings for each of the 16 trouble spots. They will pinpoint a model's strengths and weaknesses. Ratings are based on the percentage of survey respondents who reported problems for that trouble spot, compared with the average of all vehicles for that year.
