JD Power has released yet another ranking, this time it is its Vehicle Dependability Study. It focuses on the long-term reliability of vehicles by monitoring defects, malfunctions and design-related issues with three-year old vehicles still being driven by their original owners.
The most problem prone areas of modern vehicles are related to Bluetooth connectivity and voice recognition. Another problem area was automatic transmission shift quality.
Lexus, unsurprisingly, ranked first in this study, as it has very consistently over the past 4 years.
Here is what Autoguide had to say about Lexus' top ranking.

Here is what Autoguide had to say about Lexus' top ranking.
Lexus topped all rivals with a jaw-dropping score of just 89 problems per 100 vehicles. That’s an industry-leading performance, but what do you expect from Toyota’s luxury division? Their ES was the top-rated compact premium car while the GX was the No. 1 midsize premium SUV. Their CT and RX were both strong competitor as well. This is the fourth consecutive year Lexus has been the best in J.D. Power’s Vehicle Dependability Study.
