2) I used to work for a Class 8 truck OEM. We always scored low compared with our competitors on "Engine quality" despite using the same engines as our competitors.
3) You are more inclined to take the time to fill in a long, detailed, survey if you are seriously mad at your vehicle manufacturer.
4) Ever notice how your car just seems to run better, to feel better, to be more enjoyable after you detail it? Your emotions towards your car change but the reliability has not. People are emotional creatures and cant be trusted to accurately respond to a survey like this.
JD Powers is a fantastic measure of how owners "feel" about their vehicles and nothing more.
OK, rant over. Now back to the funny pics. Here's my dog with her head stuck in a fence.
