My parents had a V10 Dodge Ram - and it was pretty decent - One thing about reliability is that do people check over every part of the car? My parents had a fifth wheel attached and went from Canada to the southern US to avoid the cold - so they ran the vehicle for several years and not once used the heater. When they finally did it wasn't working. So did it fail because it wasn't used enough or did it never work to begin with? Let's assume it never worked - well this would never have been reported to JD Power or anyone else.

The point is that JDP has found that there's a very high correlation between the initial 90 days and the following few years. By giving the manufacturers early feedback on its models, the JDP IQS report provides them the opportunity to address the shortcomings. So, the report is useful mostly for that. Up to you if you want to buy the connection between the first 90 days and the longer term.

I love my 2019 X3 and: 1. Everything works 2. It's a basic X3 3. I am comfortable with the included tech I WILL NOT buy a new car and assume a learning curve, frustrating tech glitches, and trips to dealers to solve those issues.

It's funny how the ones at the top of the list are struggling with sales.

I think one of the reasons that luxury cars, toyota and honda might score lower is that the owner expect more and will take the car back to the dealer for any little problem. Where as if someone buys any other non luxury car their expectations are lower and will not take the car back to the dealer for a minor problem.

I'm very surprise with some of the mentions ... to a point that seems not believable...

JD Power's statement (1:00): "...the study at 90 days gives the customer an early indication of what could be expected after 3 years of ownership. The initial quality numbers also give manufacturers early feedback on their models so that they can put corrective actions in place." Well, I want to know why all automakers don't send out questionairres to their buyers/customers at 90 days, at 6 months, at 1 year, at 2 years, and at 3 years, asking what JD Powers and Consumer Reports ask car owners. It seems to me that automakers would benefit far more from getting feedback directly from their own customers, and a year or two into ownership is much more instructive than 90 days into ownership can possibly be. If I'm an automaker CEO or board of directors, I'd mandate this (i.e., questionaires to all new-vehicle-purchase owners). I'd also like to see some way of statistical data being farmed from dealership service departments to let prospective buyers know which vehicles tend to have what specific problems in a frequent basis.

Not sure how the heck the first 90 days of ownership would have hardly any correlation between long term reliability! To your point, the initial car stinky smells would not last into the 3 year mark you would hope! But the first 90 days as all the new plastic and engine parts give off their smell would. Most new cars wouldn't even have reached their first oil change in 90 days. Now the learning curve for all the new tech would for sure! Many people would indicate their wireless AA or CarPlay doesn't work when most times they either don't have their phones settings adjusted properly or haven't created a profile properly with the cars infotainment system. I speak from experience as I came from a 2009 Murano and in 2022 bought an NX350h. Night and day difference, one is a car the other comparable to the Space Station! I took my time, read the owners manual - well ok not all 800 pages of it - and have now become very familiar & comfortable in how to make adjustments to my car and how it reacts. How does the first 90 days factor into engine failures or EV related issues down the road? Look at the list of recalls that are for cars that are some 3-5 years old and now have suspect transmission issues, safety system issues etc, you couldn't have said anything of this nature was in anyway corollated to the first 90 days of ownership.

Consumer Reports isn't perfect, but they are the least biased. JD Power might be flawed. But they are nothing like Sandy Munro who is clearly bought and paid for by Musk.

For your consideration: Honda Civic VS Toyota Tercel. Back in the day, I read the Lemond Aid Guide. Consider that The Civic had sporty variants and was very popular with teens who liked to turn them into BOOM cars with stereos and also liked to do donuts in them. The Tercel was ranked 1st the Civic ranked 2nd for reliability. But the Tercel was a "granny car" - no young guys were buying those things. The Honda got driven and driven hard. Indeed, you could make that case for the Mustang and Camaro (both of which I recall doing quite well in the Lemon Aid guide - in fact, better than many if not all of their other cars). My point is that we must look at the way the car is likely to be driven and how well the owner will do the upkeep. A granny car is likely to be babied by the owner more than those 17-year-old Civic owners trying to drift the things with a lead foot. How will a Mustang hold up if you drive it purely as a GT car and never take it to the track? Always do the maintenance. Maybe that 3.5/5 goes to a 5/5. If you drive the Tercel like a Civic Type R - maybe it croaks at 80,000km. My dad was that annoying slow driver always puttering at or slightly below the speed limit - always did the maintenance early. We had the atrocious train wreck Ford Aerostar (notoriously unreliable) - well we never had a problem. My point - the type of people who buy Toyota/Lexus are "probably" the type of people who care about reliability and will do the maintenance - the type of people buying the Koreans or Americans (and certainly not the German brands) placed reliability high on the list so they may let the maintenance lapse a bit and perhaps that's why the cars wind up not being reliable? I mean if you can't afford a Corrolla maybe you buy a Mitsubishi Mirage - but if you can't afford the car - you might no be able to afford the maintenance.

90 day ownership? I think if you had after 5 years of ownership that list would be completely different.

Some of these don't make any sense. Not just from internal biases, but from other data. It really just makes you not trust any data at all about reliability.

A and Z work every day studying the industry. They are intelligent and reasoned. What do you do?

The should be called The Initial Customer Experience Study. So many things are unrelated to quality. The top 3 issues prove my point, false radar warnings, ACP and AA issues and too many controls built into screens. Most are not quality related. While these things may be important and of value, most people want to know how well it’s put together and how long it will reliably last.

That stink might relate to adhesives used in the cars and VOC (volatile organic compounds) off gasses from the upholstery. These used to give that familiar "new car smell" but the previously used adhesives etc that released a mix of VOCs might have been replaced with new materials that release a stink, not the "new car smell" we all loved.

As a previous owner of two new BEVs (2020 Kona EV & 2022 Ioniq 5 EV), the lack of timely software updates is a sore point regarding ownership. The adoption of new technology to minimize air drag at the expensive of reality is another. Nothing like a frozen door handle or charge port. At least with charge ports, some manufacturers now use heaters. All door handles will freeze but to have designs where you can't even grab a handle isn't wise.

Quality can be interpreted in ten different ways. This is only one of them.

Why am I a keyboard warrior if I make a comment? Love your channel. You guys are super knowledgeable, and I trust you for my information on what happens in the industry.

It would be interesting to see a line graph of the JD powers quality results overtime say the last decade or two. Your comments suggested some brands consistently stayed below average. While some brands are rising. This type of graph would illustrate that well with different colored lines representing different Manufacturers.

So only Kia make a minivan? Wonder how Toyota and Honda don’t appear higher ? Wonder no more. RAM at the top but they are the only 1/2 ton truck - did the F150 and Tundra suddenly disappear?

The problem with these studies is that a panel shaking is an incident and the engine catching fire and killing a family is an incident. Many of the winners are simple because being called in for a software update counts as an incident if there are no OTA updates (and depending on how they count it maybe even OTA updates count). I wish they were separated in to safety issues, usage issues, and minor issues.

Interesting that the Santa Cruz that has trailer wiring harness issues and can't tow safely currently is #1. As for the 3 month translating, it obviously isn't fail safe, I do remember a certain Chevy coupe in 2002 getting the award, followed by an absolute crash in long term reliability before 3 years - as always never trust first year models!

I would much rather rely on CR published survey results. no vehicle production run is 100% without faults but the CR results are a good indicator of probability of faults. PS. even Toyota the CR darling does not get highest CR rating these days on most of their vehicles. too complex!

I love my 2020 XT6. It's at 50k kms now and has been pretty reliable. There are stories though of a bad batch of them in both the 2023 and 2024 model years. The problem for a lot of manufacturers is that there moves to bring the supply chains closer to home have resulted in changes and when you make changes, you introduce an opportunity for components that don't measure up. Car makers will get over this hurdle but it's certainly odd to see cars in the fourth or fifth model year suddenly have more problems/100 than in their first few years.

The smell of a new car is usually "off gasing" of the interior materials such as the plastics used. And they can be harmful as well as toxic. Causes minor headaches too. Great channel BTW 👌🏾💯👌🏾💯

The Range Rover owner must of had a Toyota motor swap or maybe it spent its time on the flat bed heading to the service bay.

The initial quality surveys matter to me because of experiences I've had with dealers, attempting (and failing) to have annoying new-car problems fixed. I give more weight, though, to Consumer Reports' owner surveys. I'm surprised to hear the positive remarks about Chevy. Regarding "new car smells," I once bought a new Acura that made me literally sick during the first two weeks from the "outgassing" of interior plastics, while I remember loving the unique interior smell of brand new Saabs.

Very interesting. Some surprising outcomes, and very interesting to see no Hondas in the top list. I wonder if that is a true reflection of Honda dropping some in QC

Great overview. Awesome to see GM divisions upping their game. I’ve owned 30 vehicles in 36 years ( usually have 2 or 3 at the same time ) but I’ve had terrific luck with the GM’s I’ve owned.

Are you sure you don't have the list backwards? instead of the top three they're the bottom three?

Its why I like some of the BEVs with more traditional buttons for controls. Like the Polestar 2 and Volvo's based upon that platform (aside from the tablet being the hvac, but its easy enough to learn to just use the google assistant to control), or the earlier version of the BMW i4 (as the newest version ditched the more traditional, sporty, console shifter for buttons. Boo on BMW for that boneheaded decision), or even the F150 Lightning with the smaller screen. They're simple to operate, with such a minimal learning curve to get used to.

We have a 2015 Kia Forte LE we bought new, its been largely trouble free. Probably the most reliable car I've owed in my 50 years as a car owner.

Great show lots of information, rug gives off lots of smells of chemicals from manufacturing. Just put a new rug on a staircase and it gave off a smell for about a month. 🥴

This is good information but go to the Press Release and it makes more sense…. Like people love the AMG Entertainment System - MBUX. MB is not listed as the #1 Brand but they are tied with BMW at 206. Porsche is at 172 and Audi is down at 242. Audi MMI is fairly new and so is MBUX and BMW IDrive 8. Porsche PCM was just launched so these ratings are mostly with the older systems without the problems that newer systems have. I think Zack covered that. But Porsche also won awards for Osna and Leipzig so that’s a big part of it. Honda, Toyota and BMW did very well in the Assembly line awards so it’s no surprise they ranked so high. Did deep and it makes a lot of sense

I think people have to remember that these studies are not only to help manufacturers get ahead of issues but also to arm buyers with a little more information. Whether you agree with the information or not, it's information. People don't want to see Chevrolet at the top but in this study it shows that Chevrolet has 160 problems per 100 vehicles. Honda further down on the list has 180 problems per 100 vehicles, it's not a massive difference but there's a difference. This study examines 227 problems which are organized into nine categories. Honda and Toyota's Canadian factories both got a Gold plant quality award. One of Toyota's plants in Japan got a Platinum award. In the comments below, many don't believe a 90 day study shows the whole picture and brands like Chevrolet, Hyundai and Kia don't offer long term reliability. However, there are people who own vehicles from these brands long term and are very happy. As well, some of these models like the Lexus IS have been around a long time, they are not new, so they have no issues whereas Mazda as well as Toyota have a lot of new vehicles they've added to their press fleet. The whole study makes a lot of sense. The JD Power Dependability Study is another great study, it follows owners for three years, I always look forward to that one.

with the smell issue and new cars, back in the day, my boys went out and bought new 2014 kia forte cars. i couldnt make it 20 min without getting sick and had to get out due to the smell both cars so its not an isolated issue.. I would get a terrible headache as well.. I was thinking it was the foams in the seats.

Not sure why Ram is the only light-duty truck they could find. All I see on the road are GMs and Fords. Weird.

It would be more interesting to know which brands are better after 10 years. Most cars are fine after 3 years.

Audio doesn't feel synced but love these videos!

Happy to help Kia out with my recent survey.

Will never trust this study. 90 days is a horrible way to assess long term reliability. This list should not get any media coverage. 3 years should be the minimum as most leases are 3 years and also most people will keep a car longer than 3 years. And all the top 90 day vehicles are notorious to break down or have major mechanical issues after three years. Definitely would never buy anything long-term, Stellis or Hyundai and Kia as they are known to struggle past 100 K. Data backs this up.

ZACK, it would be great for you to do a special review for your watch collection :)

Ironically most of the cars in the list are the ones that will start having issues after 5 years especially the Korean brands

Wasn't my experience...my Kia was way more reliable than my Honda or Toyota...but that was a few years ago now

in our throwaway society is it smart to be pushing for the purchase of so many new cars?

Good point. Aside from my ‘23, the other two vehicles in my “fleet” are a ‘95 and a ‘98. Between them they have 525,000 miles.
