The latest TrueDelta Vehicle Reliability Survey results have been posted. These are for the year ending December 31, 2007.
For the 2007 Jeep Compass and Patriot, we received an average of 5.8 months of data on 20 cars. The stat of 42 successful repair trips per 100 vehicles per year (0.4 per vehicle) is better than average for a 2007 model. The sample size is small, so the result is asterisked. But the repair rate of the related Dodge Caliber has been similar, suggesting that both are accurate.
No result for the 2008 yet, so it's not possible to say whether the repair rate has improved in the second model year (it often does). We need more participants for the current model year. We do already have results for some other 2008s, including the new Accord.
Everyone who has been helping out with this research, thank you. Those who aren't yet helping out, please consider doing so. As already mentioned, we especially need more 2008s.
