Why do I find that my friends and relatives who bought Japanese cars around me always secretly repair the car when it breaks down?
With all due respect, the person asking this question is themselves crooked. Do you mean that the relatives and friends who bought the Japanese car were all bought for the stable quality of the Japanese car, but after the actual arrival, they found that the Japanese car was not as worry-free as they thought, but they were embarrassed to admit that they were punched in the face, so they secretly went to repair the car?
But I want to ask you, is the car repair going to be published in the newspaper, or buy a loudspeaker to play a loop "I bought a Japanese car, I'm going to repair the car", or live car repair in the WeChat group of relatives and friends? All you want to say is that Japanese cars are not as worry-free as the legend goes.
The current network public opinion is easy to fall into two extremes for the quality stability of Japanese cars, either "Lexus, I only learned to add glass water in 6 years", or the japanese car quality stability is a rumor, and the French car domestic car a cargo color. What is the truth?
In fact, whether you admit it or not, the overall quality stability of Japanese cars is better than that of other car series, specific to the brand, the Japanese Lexus, Toyota, the quality stability is obviously better than the German, French, American and Chinese, which is an indisputable fact. In addition, the quality stability of the Korean system is also quite good.
According to J.D.Power's 2020 Automotive Reliability Ranking for the U.S. Market:
Hyundai Motor Group's premium brand Genesis replaced Lexus as the most reliable car brand, with a score of 89 faults per 100 vehicles. Lexus ranks second with 100 faults per 100 vehicles. Prior to that, Lexus had won the championship for eight consecutive years.
Many people say that most of the models of major car companies in the United States are large-displacement self-absorbing, which is different from domestic models and has no comparability. Then let's look at the domestic list. Autohome's car reliability ranking, Toyota Honda Nissan ranked in the top three.
But many people are prone to extremes, doesn't it mean that the quality of Japanese cars is stable? My relatives who bought Japanese cars have been repaired many times, I am a ten-year repairman, and most of the Japanese cars I repair. Stable quality does not mean that it is not bad! Thank you! So we can't mythologize the quality stability of Japanese cars, and the failures are sporadic, even the first place in the list, Dennes, doesn't 100 cars have 89 faults? Good quality stability just means that the probability of your car malfunctioning is relatively small, nothing more.
And the stability of Japanese cars is at the expense of a certain price, including power, the application of new technologies, the ease of use of the car system, etc., so any myth of the quality stability of Japanese cars and deliberately belittling the quality stability of Japanese cars is not correct.
