There's a new study out by J.D. Power and Associates that looks at customer satisfaction with vehicles three years and older. The study examines how people feel about their cars in consideration of the number of problems they have with them.
From a press release by the company:
Those models with the largest increase in problem levels show the most pronounced declines in satisfaction and the likelihood of owners to recommend their vehicle models.
Yes, you read that right. We needed to fund a survey to find that the more problems you have with your vehicle, the less likely you are to be happy with it.
In my neck of the woods, we call that "no shit, Sherlock."
