We have updated results for the Patriot and Compass to include owner experiences through September 30, 2009. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2009: 63, about average, but small sample size
2008: 26, better than average
2007: 28, better than average, but small sample size
We've also introduced two new statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.
In the case of the 2008, the percentage with no repairs is about 75, and the percentage of lemons is less than one.
Everyone who has been helping, thanks, I appreciate it. We'll have further updates in February and May. Additional participants would enable us to fully cover all model years. So if you aren't already participating, please consider it.
