Kind of depressing really that it's all Honda and Toyota. Poor Chrysler. |

Funny...somehow I seem to remember the Malibu being JD Power and Associates Best Midsize Sedan in Initial Quality...I also seem to remember that neither the camry nor the accord were on JD Power and Associates' list...
Oh wait. They used Consumer Reports' data. Figures.

Those lists usually group problems into one big bag. One car has an engine problem another a radio button problem. Both are penalized the same.

I have found talking to owners of Hondas and Toyotas and then listening to them talk among themselves (without them knowing I am listening) they have more problems than they tell us.( and probably Consumer Reports also)... most owners will swear they have never had a problem with their cars, because they don't want people that own american cars to know that they got a lemon....
If they are so reliable why do I see Honda and Toyota dealersip courtesy cars and shuttle vans running around all over the place with big signs on them? Don't they know that lets us american car owners know that they have problems too?
