Reliability is one of the most important aspects to consider when buying a new vehicle, especially as cars become ever more technologically complex.
In this graphic, we visualize the results of J.D. Power’s 2024 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, which ranked automakers by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Data and Methodology
To come up with this ranking, J.D. Power collected responses from 30,595 original owners of 2021 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. Their study was fielded from August to November 2023, and covers nine categories of problems:
- Exterior
- Seats
- The driving experience
- Climate
- Features/controls/displays
- Interior
- Infotainment
- Powertrain
- Driving Assistance
