JD Power 3 yr dependability study - Toyota Yaris Forums

why is scion all the way down there?

my only other concern about this is what categorizes a "problem". most people surveyed might list a blown fuse or windshield wiper blade going bad as a "problem".

which I can see as a problem with the new sebring/avenger third brake light on every single car....

no one else thinks that is odd?

This type of survey isn't a strong indicator of long term dependability. It's really just counting problems within the first three years and not distinguishing problems. A blown transmission gets the same weight as a blown light bulb.

I find Consumer Reports more reliable as they document everything separately over time but still they lack in many areas.

Odd to see Scion way down on the list.

Because just a few months ago, the xD was named the most trouble free/dependable car you could buy, period. And I'm sure the tC and xB aren't that bad.
