Probably because of the Enclave (which is shown above in the picture). It is the most unreliable Buick in the American market.
Buick, overall, though, is still fairly high on the reliability, list. And they outright won the J.D. Power Initial-Quality-Study, which shows how well vehicles are assembled at the factory....notwithstanding the fact that my special-ordered Encore GX needed a new AWD-actuator before it was even delivered LOL.
BTW, Jill......here is a direct quote from that report.
Hybrid SUVs and plug-ins are the third most reliable category with a score of 65, with the Lexus NX Hybrid, Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, and Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Venza taking top honors in the category.

The annual CR reliability report is, at best, informational. This is not a rigorous statistical analysis.
- Reliability is not defined rendering it meaningless. Are panel gaps reliability?
- Very small sample size. I think they tested 2 MBZ models.
- Captured (biased) survey group; made up of CR subscribers.
- Only newer cars. Most new cars make it through 3 years. Then what?

True, but they were on the CR most-improved and most-worsened lists that Jill and I were discussing. But, since 1111GS is a moderator, if he (or she?) considers that to be too far off-topic, then, fine…so be it.

What is reliability? Reliability can be defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, or will operate in a defined environment without failure. CR apparantly uses reliability as a catch all bucket. As a buyer, how does that help individual buyers?
I like CR because it doesn't accept advertising. But the sample size is ridicously small. I much prefer owner satisfaction surveys and find more detailed information from user forums.

JeffKeryk - 100% in agreement here with your posts... it's like only surveying the church congregation about whether there is a God and which one is best.

CR’s data base of survey-experience is anything BUT small…it numbers in the many hundreds of thousands.
