Ford Vehicles Receive Top Honors in Vehicle Dependability Study

From Ford.com:

Ford Motor Company’s continuing emphasis on long-term quality is paying off for its customers.

Ford Motor Company has six vehicles ranked in the top three for long-term durability in their segment in the annual J.D. Power and Associates’ 2012 Vehicle Dependability Study.

The vehicles are:

•Ford Fusion, which also received the Midsize Car award for the second consecutive year

•Ford Explorer, which received the Midsize Crossover/SUV award (in a tie)

•Ford Ranger ranked second among Midsize Pickups

•Ford Taurus ranked third among Large Cars

According to the study, other Ford models such as the Ford Mustang also performed particularly well, although there is no award in this segment.

The study asks owners about problems they have experienced in the past 12 months with their three-year-old vehicles (for the 2012 study, 2009 model-year vehicles were surveyed). Survey respondents were asked to indicate any problems they experienced with their vehicle in the past 12 months, choosing from a list of more than 200 issues in eight diverse categories.
