That's good to know, but Buick is out of the market for me. I bought a 2018 new and I went a whole winter without a heater because they couldn't get the part. Now we are in summer and they quit making a part for my air conditioner that went out.....Yep, the car is SIX years old and they quit making the part.

Understand that. And sadly that would only account for two of the average 149 problems.
All problems are not equal for sure.

Could be. Or maybe it wasn't documented.

odd that Chrysler is worst on the list yet Jeep and Dodge are above average.
They are all from the same company
How does that happen?

Maybe because Jeep & Dodge keep it simple and Chrysler adds more bells and whistles that fail?

Statistics....... Are these #s for 2024 vehicles only ??? Maybe the last 10 years of production ??? The last 5 ???

I don't disagree ( I recently bought a 2011 Lexus with 106k miles on it) but statistics need to be defined better than they usually are !

Tesla not considered a car?

All my vehicles are Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep.
The Dodge Trucks are from the 90's
The Jeep is 2002
The Pacifica is 2021
No issues with the Pacifica as of yet.

Worst vehicle I ever had from Chrysler was a 2005 Jeep.
Second worst was the 2002 Jeep

Jeeps are awful for maintenance and break downs. Like Harleys. Hence my skepticism.

Find the comparable chevrolet model and check. The new buicks are just rebranded chevrolet.

I just looked at the chart and compared to where my vehicles fall.
All 7 vehicles fall in the less than average issues category.
I understand the chart is for new cars but my even my older cars have been pretty much issue free.

If the corporation is discontinuing parts for my make and model, I'm sure they are doing it to other brands. I'm through with GM!
