[mshabana]

Dodge is now more reliable than KIA... Sad!

1. Lexus
2. Mazda
3. Toyota
4. Porsche
5. Genesis
6. Hyundai
7. Subaru
8. Dodge
9. Kia
10. Mini

I will not believe for a moment that Dodge is more reliable than KIA.Dodge's reliability has decreased ever since they got bought out by Chrysler.Everybody I ask,does not seem to have good things to say about dodge
I owned a Durango and transmission went at 93,000 miles so I got rid of it.Dodge and Chrysler in general has a lot to do to ever win my business.
Can't wait to get my telluride in a few weeks!!

A grain of salt is required when reading the CR reliability. Consumer Reports' Car Reliability FAQ
I don’t know that it is as fact based and scientifically calculated as some may think. It’s all based on an annual questionnaire that CR sends out to its members on their vehicle maintenance experiences. While interesting, I don’t think it is as accurate as mining through actual vehicle repair data.

This report MAY reflect KIA in general......but has nothing to do with the Telluride specifically. I certainly remember when 'KIA" was considered 'cheap quality." I do think the they are definitely"upping" the game...........I am old enough to remember when Japanese cars were considered "junk"....the Koreans are ramping up their position in this game!

It’s possibly that there are more KIA owners than previous years. Then more feedback / larger pool of owners. I don’t think KIA has quality issues other than a few isolated issues. I’m on my 4th KIA and the problems were more evident 12 years ago then they are now. I think CR ratings are skewed.
