Fox News
Kia is ranked at the top of the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, followed by Buick, Hyundai, Genesis and Toyota.
The study is based on a survey of owners who have had their vehicles for three years and grade them on 184 possible problem areas, plus their current overall condition.
Porsche dropped from second last year to seventh, but the 911 sports car was named the most dependable car overall for the third time in the past four studies. Buick's score was buoyed by the Envision compact SUV, which is one of the few cars sold in the U.S. that is imported from China and won its segment for the second year in a row.
Infotainment system issues continued to be the biggest complaint among owners, with mass-market cars faring better in the category thanks to having simpler tech than the high-end models.
