TrueDelta reliability survey results - Honda CR-V

[mkaresh]

The latest TrueDelta Vehicle Reliability Survey results have been posted. These are for the year ending June 30, 2007. Late responses could lead to further changes, but these are unlikely to be large.

For the 2007 Honda CR-V, I have an average of 4.2 months of data on 29 cars. The stat of 30 successful repair trips per 100 vehicles per year (0.3 per vehicle) is better than average for a 2007 model, and especially good considering this is a new design.

Everyone who has been helping out with this research, thanks, I literally couldn't have done it without you. Those who aren't yet helping out, please consider doing so. I'd like to start posting results for additional model years, but there is a minimum sample size.

These results will be updated four times a year, so there will be information on new models sooner. More participants would be very helpful for all model years.

Participants report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members will receive full access to the results free of charge.
