    Pretty irrelevant (in Australia) article IMHO.
    Who cares what 37000 yanks "think" is a problem with their car? All bar the top couple had a problem with EVERY car sold. Sooks.

    I have had plenty of problems with my Land Rover....but this is because my Land Rover gets an good, solid hiding off-road once a month.

    All statistics like this need to be taken contextually.

    So you are taking notice of it after all???

    I find it amusing every time LR comes in at the bottom of a reliability survey all the apologists come out of the woodwork to claim the results are wrong or irrelevant.

    UK list of most reliable cars and brands... (no Landrover)
    Top 10 most reliable cars

    1 BMW 3 Series

    2 Honda Accord

    3 VW Golf

    4 Audi A3

    5 Toyota Avensis

    6 Nissan Qashqai

    7 VW Passat

    8 Audi A4

    9 Mazda6

    10 BMW 5 Series







    Top 10 most reliable brands

    1 BMW

    2 Audi

    3 Honda

    4 VW

    5 Toyota

    6 Nissan

    7 Mercedes-Benz

    8 Ford

    The J D Power survey again.. And another misleading headline. Again.

    Every year this happens. J D Power has nothing to do with "dependability". Its owner complaint driven.

    All it tells you is LandRover have had a number of owner responses. Could be anything. Not that long ago, Mercedes Benz was bottom of the pile coz one model had key fob issues.

    J D Power is only good for subsequent misleading headlines.

    A load of BS...

    If they did the same survey in Australia, the story would be very different I think. We have around 100 new Commodores in our fleet, and over a third of those have been back to the factory with a complaint of some description. Some of them serious, most not, but on a survey like that, they would all be counted. If you used that style of data collection, then I can prove that over a third of all new Commodores are unreliable, even though anly a handful have been off the road for more than a day...
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
