The annual owner survey tracks the number of problems reported in the first 90 days of ownership. Issues can range from major component failures to user dissatisfaction with the design and functionality of features like infotainment systems, which were responsible for the most complaints at 25%.
Dodge, Chevrolet, Genesis and Kia rounded out the top five in a year in a down year for the industry overall, with the average score rising from 162 to 180, a new record that J.D. Power attributes to the issues posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
