I've posted the latest results of TrueDelta's reliability survey to the site. These are for the year ending March 31, 2007. (CR currently provides results through March 31, 2006, making their data a year older.)

I do not have enough data on the 2007s to provide results for that year. For all model years more participants would help a great deal.

For the 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum, I have an average of6.5 months of data on80 cars. The stat of0.9 successful repair trips per year is about 50 percent worse than the average. Even if the trunk alignment problem experienced by a few Charger owners is excluded from the analysis, as it does not affect the other two models, the rate is still 0.8.

On the other hand, we're still only talking about a single repair trip per car, on average. And many owners have reported no repair trips.

Interesting, thanks for the post.

 

You're very welcome.

I've had great participation from Charger owners, and truly appreciate this. The 2006 LX cars no longer have the most owners in the sample, though. There are 120 of them, vs. 124 for the Nissan Versa.

Why do I have so many Versas? I'm not really sure, though I'm certainly happy to have them as well.

 

I'm glad mine hasn't been in the shop... yet. Comming upon 2 yrs and 30K soon [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Ditto there Mango

 

Sounds about right I had TWO repair jobs

Trannyleaked on me
Trunk lid

Very minor work

I also dragged in some dog doo from a recent run on Austin's town lake.

Very minor and smelt like it a freshly made, still warm.
