again, we need to get a grip on how 'bad' the differences are.
the stats are problems per 100 vehicles. so a top 95 means .95 (basically 1) problem per vehicle on average.
and a 'craptastic' dodge at the bottom with 208 means 2.08 (basically 2) problems per vehicle on average.
i wouldn't say that's a crisis for dodge.
but people are easily confused by 'statistics' and fancy graphs. i could even make it look much worse with different axes scales...

no, it's fully true. #mathrocks
that's also fully true, but when was the last time you heard of an engine seizing up on a fairly new car?
and the specific nature of the problems involved also play a part. A small rattle in the interior or loose-fitting piece of trim, for example, is certainly not the same as an engine seizing up because of defective oil seals/fittings.
