Ford and Dodge Flop, Lexus and Honda Top JD Power�s 2011 U.S. Initial Quality Study


The results are in for JD Power�s latest 2011 U.S. Initial Quality study that looks at the first 90 days of ownership and the news is not good for Ford Motor Company. The Dearborn-based company tumbled from fifth place and highest-ranking non-luxury automaker last year to 23rd in 2011 with 116 problems per 100 vehicles. Analysts claim that Ford�s freefall is due to complaints related to the company�s onboard MyFord Touch infotainment systems.
Even worse, Dodge was placed last in the list with 137 problems per 100 cars. Scion, MINI, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi and Suzuki didn�t fare well either occupying the last places in the study.
