2022 Reliability Rankings

[Eye of the Tiger]

I actually paid money for a certain stupid publication's new car guide.
Here is some definitely not copyrighted material:



Mazda is more reliable than Toyota. That's all that matters.

Gotta love those single digit scores at the end. LOL Lincoln

It's odd that Genesis ranks below Hyundai?

Genesis is just a Hyundai with more things to go wrong.

Mercedes buyers hand the keys back on their lease expirations before the gremlins show themselves. The brand's reliability rankings are only an issue for CPO & used owners.


My neighbor took delivery of his Model 3 last week. Gulp. And someone else in the neighborhood just got an X. Double Gulp.

I don't really understand the huge gap between the best and worst models for Chevy and GMC- what's going on with the Yukon/Tahoe bad enough to drag the entire brand down?

This article goes into the problems of the Tahoe and Yukon as outlined by Consumer Reports:

What a confusing report. Brands rise and drop without any real explanation.

Wasn't MINI always near the bottom? Now they're pretty high at the top? I'm confused.

And what the hell is "predicted reliability"? Sounds silly.

The reliability reports are based off of annual surveys sent out to subscribers and it's a complication of that data.  The predicted reliability I believe is based off of the same data from the previous models of the car.  If it's a brand new model, they wouldn't have a rating because it's brand new.  For brands, I think it's just an average of all cars.  For mini though, it could just be due to the low sales numbers in general and likely slight improvement in quality.

And how is it that the 2500 is reliable while the Yukon isnt?  Im sure there are suspension differences but the underlying components are largely the same right?

Mostly, yes.

It looks like the major problems had to do with the climate control and infotainment.

I'm guessing that the systems are the same save for an additional blower and maybe a bit more plumbing for 3rd row air...and wouldn't they use the same infotainment?  Or maybe the Yukon is more likely to have an upmarket (and less reliable) one.
