The car reliability rating has shown a sad trend
What did the reputable automotive ratings for 2012 tell you?
The degree of reliability is one of the key criteria when choosing a machine. Therefore, several agencies and companies carefully collect and then publish the results of various studies, tests and tests and compile car reliability ratings. The most authoritative sources of such ratings today are the German automobile club ADAC, the TUV Report report of the German edition AUTO BILD, as well as the American agency J.D. Power and Associates. Their research data varies, as they are obtained from different sources, and information is collected on different continents, in countries with different climates and road conditions. The magazine "Profile" has carefully studied the results of all three ratings of foreign car luminaries for 2012.
The ratings of the two German sources are interesting because the TUV Report is based on legally required inspections, and the ADAC club report is based on statistics of breakdowns and accidents directly on the roads. The American agency J.D. Power and Associates is satisfied with the statistics of breakdowns for every 100 cars and a survey of owners, which is very, very subjective, even despite the huge number of respondents (80 thousand people) who evaluated their cars according to 228 parameters.
The cars in the TUV Report rating are divided into five age categories: from 2 to 3 years old, from 4 to 5 years old, from 6 to 7 years old, from 8 to 9 years old and from 10 to 11 years old. As a result, the study covers about 8 million cars. The main conclusion made by the researchers is disappointing: every fifth car suffers from significant technical deficiencies — this is the trend of recent years. Only 54% of the cars studied have no flaws. 26.3% of vehicles have minor malfunctions, and 19.7% of vehicles do not meet the requirements of acceptable quality of operation due to serious technical problems. Klaus Bruggeman, Chairman of the TUV Executive Committee, noted that for the sake of long and trouble-free operation, a modern car should receive professional service from the very first days of its use. He also concludes that most often modern cars need to repair lighting equipment, braking system and suspension, and this directly affects road safety. As for the suspension problems, most of them are caused not by wear, but by design features, and this is a clear flaw of the manufacturers. Avec le code promo 1xbet vous donne plus pour commencer.
