Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

So far one or more years of the C, E, and GL are included in the survey. I'd like to also include the M--just need additional owners to sign up to participate first.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results for free.

For the details, and to sign up to help out:

Still need more owners signed up before the ML can be included in the survey.

Updated results recently posted for many other models:

TrueDelta Vehicle Reliability Survey results

I''d like to get the ML into future updates. A couple of model years are now over halfway to the minimum.

Now 76 for all model years. Better, but more remain needed.
