JD Powers is nothing but a bunch of bullshit reviews that gives favorable reviews to the highest bidder. As a mechanic I can absolutely say with 10000% certainty that Toyota/Lexus will walk circles around ANY brand of car out there. Honda is up there too though they don’t hold the same level of quality as toyota does and that’s coming from a Honda mechanic/dedicated brand loyalist. The fact that Hyundia/Kia made it in the top… laughable at best.
You simply don’t understand what this chart is showing. It has nothing to do with brand long term or even medium term reliability. It reports things like “phone too difficult to pair” as a problem.
Not sure if you’re replying to me or the OP but I fully understand what this chart means and yes the issues that they report are so bogus and silly that it skews the results. But the takeaway here is that JD Powers is NOT at all credible regardless of whether they are reporting on issues like pairing a phone or longer term problems regardless of them being minor or major. What WOULD make sense is the data that is being reported and having it broken down by specific categories like UI issues vs. major mechanical failures. Regardless of the data presented here though… the reality is from MY perspective is I’d never own a Kia/Hyundai or Chevy. Worked on far too many vehicles to know what is solid, mostly solid vs. utter junk.
