The results of the Vehicle Reliability Survey will be updated next week. Actually, members have been able to view provisional results for about a month now, but next week they’ll be 99 percent finalized (a few very late responses or corrections might still trickle in) and be publicly released.
A number of milestones have been reached with this release:
Total number of full results: 152 (compared to 119 in May)
Total number of results: 300 (compared to 242 in May)
Earliest we’ve ever had a full result for the new model year, with the 2009 Nissan Murano. A big thanks to partner forums NissanMurano.org and NICOClub.com.
There will also be a partial result for the 2009 Jaguar XF, which is quite an achievement since this is not a high volume car.
Other 2009s are likely with the next update, in November: Dodge Journey, Subaru Forester, Toyota Corolla, and (maybe) Honda Pilot.
First model with over 200 responses: the 2008 Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook. Thanks are due to EnclaveForum.net, AcadiaForum.net, and SaturnFans.com.
Also the first model with over 1,200 months (100 vehicle-years) of data–the same trio.
The 2007 Nissan Versa passed the 1,000-month mark. Another thank you to NICOClub. A couple of other models are close to it.
First model with seven years of full results: the 2002 through 2008 Honda Accord. Partial results also provided for 1997 through 2001, for a total of twelve years. Credit here goes to DriveAccord.net.
