Calling 2007 Tacoma owners for TrueDelta - veh reliability

And now 240. The 2005 and 2007 are now in the survey, and many other years are close.

We should have some results starting in May. The more owners participate, the more information we'll be able to provide.

Car reliability research

 

Just enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.

As always, more participants would be helpful. Updated Car Reliability Survey results in May, with a preview for participants in mid-April.

Car reliability research

 

We have our first results for the Tacoma based on owner experiences through March 31, 2010. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2007: no repairs reported yet, 16 participants

2005: 19, better than average, also a very small sample size

Thank you, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Starting this month we have a new question to measure, as objectively as possible, the severity of a problem. Many people have been asking for reliability stats that weight problems by how severe they are, and once we have enough responses with the revised survey we'll start providing this.

Also this month: updated reliability stats.

As always, the more owners participate, the better the information we can provide to everyone.

We have updated results for the Tacoma based on owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

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

2009: 47, about average

2008: 49, about average

2007: 30, better than average

2006: 11, better than average

2005: 55, better than average

Small and even all sample sizes in all cases, which likely explains some of the variation. But it's also very possible that owners are more likely to have minor repairs performed while the truck is under warranty.

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