  1. We've updated our reliability stats for the Explorer to include owner experiences through March 31, 2013.


    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:


    2013 Explorer: 0, low, small sample size

    2012 Explorer: 41, moderate, small sample size

    2011 Explorer: 45, moderate, small sample size

    2008 Explorer: 140, high, very small sample size

    2007 Explorer: 80, high

    2006 Explorer: 80, moderate

    2005 Explorer: 70, moderate, small sample size

    2004 Explorer: 53, low, small sample size

    2003 Explorer: 92, moderate, very small sample size

    2002 Explorer: 84, moderate

    We'll have further updates in August and in November.

  2. We've updated our reliability stats for the Mustang to include owner experiences through March 31, 2013.


    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:


    2013 Mustang: 15, low

    2012 Mustang: 32, moderate

    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:


    2012 Mustang: 79, < 1

    2011 Mustang automatic: 66, < 1

    2011 Mustang manual: 84, < 1

    2010 Mustang: 72, < 1

  4. We've updated the our reliability stats for the Edge to include owner experiences through December 31, 2012.


    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:


    2012: 46, moderate, small sample size


    2011: 33, moderate


    2010: 36, low


    2009: 26, low, small sample size


    2008: 58, moderate


    2007: 27, low (well out of original warranty, owners might be living with problems instead of having them fixed)


    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.


    2011: 75, < 1

    2007: 83, < 1


    Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

  5. We've updated the our reliability stats for the Focus to include owner experiences through December 31, 2012.


    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:


    2013: 15, low


    2012: 38, moderate


    2010: 43, moderate


    2009: 20, low, small sample size


    2008: 25, low


    2007: 41, low


    2006: 41, low


    2005: 41, low


    2004: 26, low, very small sample size


    2003: 80, moderate


    2002: 114, high


    2001: 66, low, small sample size


    2000: 32, low, very small sample size


    The 2000 and 2001 seem too low to be accurate. Or owners are living with problems rather than fixing them.


    We'll have further updates in May and August. With more owners involved, we could provide more precise information and fully cover all model years.

    2009: 62, moderate


    2008: 31, low


    2007: 66, moderate


    2006: 72, moderate


    2005: 70, moderate


    2004: 51, low, very small sample size


    2003: 73, moderate


    2002: 46, low, small sample size


    2001: 51, low, very small sample size


    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.


    These stats require more data, so we only have them for a few years so far:


    2011: 85, < 1


    2010: 69, 3


    2009: 56, 5


    2008: 76, < 1


    2006: 50, 3

  7. We have updated our reliability stats for the Explorer and Mountaineer to include owner experiences through December 31, 2012.


    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:


    2012: 57, moderate, small sample size


    2011: 42, moderate, small sample size


    2008: 94, high, very small sample size


    2007: 77, moderate


    2006: 87, high


    2005: 85, moderate, small sample size


    2004: 37, low, very small sample size


    2003: 58, low, very small sample size


    2002: 67, low


    2000: 44, low, very small sample size


    Decent sample sizes for the 2002, 2006, and 2007, so these are the most precise results. Small and even very small sample sizes for the others, which might explain much of the variation.


    We'll have further updates in May and August. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

    We have these stats for a couple of model years so far (they require larger sample sizes):


    2012: 79, < 1


    2011 manual: 81, < 1


    2011 auto: 73, < 1


    2010: 67, < 1


    2008: 80, < 1


    2007: 84, < 1


    2006: 75, < 1


    We'll have further updates in May and August. With more owners involved, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years from 1998 on.

    Earlier the AWD commonly required repairs to the PTU seal, but this problem now seems largely in the past.

  20. We've updated the results for the Edge to include owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

     

    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

     

    2011: 47, about average

     

    2010: 38, about average

     

    2009: 18, better than average

     

    2008 66, about average, no longer splitting FWD and AWD because similar results

     

    2007 FWD: 47, better than average

     

    2007 AWD: 56, about average

     

    Earlier the AWD commonly required repairs to the PTU seal, but this problem now seems largely in the past.

     

    We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants we could provide more precise results.

  21. We've updated the results for the Focus to include owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

     

    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

     

    2009: 94, worse than average

     

    2008: 52

     

    2007: 53

     

    2006: 73

     

    2005: 116, worse than average

     

    2004: 81, small sample size

     

    2003: 107

     

    2002: 93

     

    2001: 94, better than average

     

    2000: 123, small sample size

     

    About average except where noted. Sample sizes are near the minimum in all cases, which likely explains much of the variation from year to year.

     

    We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and fully cover all model years.

     

    We're especially interested in providing some quick results for the new 2012. 31 cars signed up so far, a very fast start.

  22. We have updated results for the Escape, Mariner, and Tribute to include owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

     

    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

     

    2011: 18, better than average, very small sample size

     

    2010: 27, better than average

     

    2009: 63, about average

     

    2008: 52, about average

     

    2007: 34, better than average, small sample size

     

    2006: 67, about average

     

    2005: 75, about average

     

    2004: 88, about average, very small sample size

     

    2003: 118, about average, small sample size

     

    2002: 129, about average

     

    2001: 68, better than average, small sample size

     

    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.

     

    These stats require more data, so we only have them for a few years so far:

     

    2010: 78, < 1

     

    2009: 58, 3

     

    2008: 62, 3

     

    Ford Escape Lemon-odds and Nada-odds

     

    We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

  23. We have updated results for the Explorer and Mountaineer to include owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

     

    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

     

    2008: 119, worse than average, very small sample size and likely not accurate

     

    2007: 64, about average

     

    2006: 71, about average

     

    2005: 83, about average

     

    2004: 146, worse than average

     

    2003: 106, about average

     

    2002: 126, about average

     

    Decent sample sizes for the 2002 and 2006, so these are the most precise results. Small and even very small sample sizes for the others.

     

    We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide complete stats for all model years from 1995 on.
