We have updated results for the Patriot and Compass to include owner experiences through June 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the more recent months until the summer or even fall of next year.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 36

2008: 51

2007: 37

The 2008 is about average, the other two are better than average.

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.

In the case of the 2008, the percentage with no repairs is about 56, and the percentage of lemons is less than one.

Thank you, once again, to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in November and February. Additional participants would enable us to fully cover all model years.

I signed up but I gotta say the interface for submitting the repair reports is a bit confusing/difficult. I had to click on the same answer numerous times before it would let me submit without errors.. it'd be helpful if the red arrows would appear before you hit submit..

I didn't see how I was supposed to fill out repairs from the distant past.. and I'm not inclined to spend too much time investigating it.

I think a different-colored arrow is used on the initial pass.

We make frequent changes to improve this and other parts of the site. Detailed feedback can help a lot.

Currently there's a separate form for repairs that occurred before you joined. This is confusing, and we're working on a single unified form. The code behind such a form will be highly complicated, so it hasn't been happening quickly. Probably towards the end of the year.
