New Data on Auto Reliability from JD Power

JD Power indicates the number of lemons hitting California streets is decreasing.  25 of 32 brands improved their reliability scores.  Toyota Yaris is the most reliable subcompact, the Prius was the most reliable compact, and the Toyota Tundra was the best pickup.  Toyota’s recalls of more than 10 million cars for unintended acceleration began in 2009 and that data has not made the survey yet.  JD Power gave Toyota its worst rating in 2010 for problems in first 90 days.  On this survey Lexus was the top performer.
