fiat si piazza male anche nelle classifiche di affidabilità tedesche - Business

[poliziottesco]

giusto per capire, misurano la percezione di soddisfazione o interventi in officina? discriminano fra i vari tipi di difetti?

ciao, si tratta di soddisfazione del cliente. Non so se fanno una discriminations tra I difetti (sarebbe igienico)

[crabble]

Non è proprio così, dicono solo i problemi di infotainment sono i più frequenti ma lo studio prende in esame TUTTI i difetti riscontrati sulle auto.

Comunque se ci sono noti problemi di sincronizzazione tra telefono e auto non è una mica cosa positiva dal momento che sulle altre auto non ci sono sono presenti molto di meno... non mi sembra una buona scusa insomma.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 25 FEBRUARY 2015 — Bluetooth connectivity and voice recognition issues are the most frequently reported problems after three years of ownership, according to the J.D. Power 2015 U.S. Vehicle Dependability StudySM (VDS) released today. Study findings show that technology is playing an increasingly critical role in owners’ perceptions of overall vehicle reliability, which, in turn, is impacting their likelihood to repurchase the same brand next time around.The study, now in its 26th year, examines problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of 2012 model-year vehicles. Overall dependability is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. The study has been enhanced in 2015 to better measure the quality of today’s vehicles, particularly related to new technologies and features now being offered.[1] The study covers 177 specific problem symptoms grouped into eight major vehicle categories.

The top two problems reported by owners are Bluetooth pairing/connectivity and built-in voice recognition systems misinterpreting commands. These are also the most frequent problems reported by owners at 90 days, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Initial Quality Study.SM

“As we’ve seen in our Initial Quality Study, owners view in-vehicle technology issues as significant problems, and they typically don’t go away after the ownership honeymoon period is over,” said Renee Stephens, vice president of U.S. automotive at J.D. Power. “Furthermore, early indications from our upcoming 2015 U.S. Tech Choice Study show that vehicle owner expectations of advanced technology capabilities are growing. Owners clearly want the latest technology in their vehicles, and they don’t hesitate to express their disapproval when it doesn’t work. Their definition of dependability is increasingly influenced by usability.”

Because issues with technology impact overall dependability, they also impact repurchase intent. The study finds that 56 percent of owners who report no problems with their vehicle say they “definitely will” purchase the same brand next time, compared with 43 percent of those who report three or more problems. Together with the fact that 15 percent of new-vehicle buyers indicate they avoided a model because it lacked the latest technological features—up from just 4 percent in 2014[2]—technology clearly plays a key role in affecting future purchase decisions.

Key Study Findings

• Among owners who experienced a Bluetooth pairing/connectivity problem, 55 percent say that their vehicle would not recognize their phone, and 31 percent say the phone would not automatically connect when entering their vehicle.
  
• The number of engine/transmission problems remains high. Nearly 30 percent of the reported powertrain problems are a result of automatic transmission hesitation and rough shifting.
  
• Six of the top 10 problems are design-related as opposed to defects or malfunctions.
  
• By vehicle category, the most frequently reported problems are related to exterior, followed by engine/transmission and audio/communication/entertainment/navigation.
  
• Overall vehicle dependability industry-wide averages 147 PP100, or approximately 1.5 problems per vehicle.
  

“At the three-year point, many owners are thinking about replacing their vehicles, and we find that how they feel about their current vehicle’s quality and dependability impacts their intent to consider purchasing the same brand again,” said Stephens. “Oftentimes, the issues owners experience can be resolved with a software update or, in the case of Bluetooth pairing problems, dealers can step in to help. In cases such as these, proactively reaching out to owners presents an opportunity for automakers and their dealers to engage with customers in a positive way.”

Highest-Ranked Nameplates and Models

Lexus ranks highest in vehicle dependability among all nameplates for a fourth consecutive year, with a score of 89 PP100.

• Buick (110 PP100) follows Lexus in the rankings, moving up three rank positions from 2014.
  
• Following Buick in the rankings are Toyota (111 PP100), Cadillac (114 PP100), and Honda and Porsche in a tie (116 PP100 each).
  
• Notable rank improvements from 2014 include Scion (121 PP100), improving by 13 rank positions from 2014; Ram (134 PP100), improving 11 rank positions; and Mitsubishi (140 PP100), improving 10 rank positions.
  

General Motors Company and Toyota Motor Corporation each receive seven segment awards.

• GM models receiving an award include the Buick LaCrosse; Chevrolet Camaro; Chevrolet Malibu; Chevrolet Silverado HD; GMC Sierra LD; GMC Terrain; and GMC Yukon.
  
• Toyota awardees include the Lexus ES; Lexus GX; Scion tC; Scion xB; Scion xD; Toyota Corolla; and Toyota Sienna.
  

The 2015 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study is based on responses from more than 34,000 original owners of 2012 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. The study was fielded in November and December 2014.

Secondo me sono gli americani che non sono abituati ai piccoli ma potenti motori europei, sono più parchi ed ecologici ma anche molto più delicati, va a sapere lì come li trattano!

Le statistiche di JD come soprattutto di CR sono costruite avendo come riferimento in particolare il concetto di "usabilità" del mezzo. Se si vuole avere delle indicazioni attinenti al concetto in senso stretto di "affidabilità" del mezzo è più opportuno imho dare un'occhiata a TrueDelta:

forse sarebbe il caso di cambiare il titolo del thread, no? l'attuale è il titolo di un articolo di giornale ed è piuttosto sensazionalistico.

Ma 'sta cosa non era già emersa da un po' di tempo? Com'è che riciccia fuori ogni tre per due?

Questo e' uno studio appena pubblicato, 2015, messo in campo in Nov-Dec 2014. Come scritto nella press release si tratta del VDS (Vehicle Dependability Study) che si basa sui problemi riportati dai proprietari di auto durante il terzo anno di vita (e.g. auto immatricolate nel 2012). La maggior parte dei problemi sono stati relativi all'esterno dell' auto (non so cosa in particolare) bluetooth e riconoscimento comandi vocali, modalita' di funzionamento trasmissioni automatiche e infotainment/navigatori satellitari. Nella classifica finale Fiat si e' piazzata ultima.

Precedentemente, nel 2014 in uno studio chiamato IQS (Initial Quality Study) si rilevavano i problemi riscontrati nei primi 90 giorni di proprieta' di un nuovo veicolo. Nella classifica finale Fiat si era piazzata ultima.

Come detto da a ltri precedentemente sono stati i problemi riscontrati con le tecnologie di bordo ad avere influenzato molto questi risultati del 2015.

Come detto da a ltri precedentemente sono stati i problemi riscontrati con le tecnologie di bordo ad avere influenzato molto questi risultati del 2015.

Di modelli appena lanciati sul mercato (nel caso di Fiat, TUTTI appena lanciati sul mercato), che si sa che nei primi 18 mesi gli acquirenti sono dei beta-tester.

Questo non autorizza FCA a rilassarsi (tutt'altro), ma neanche a partire a giudicare un pesce da come si arrampica sugli alberi.

Chi giudica chi e che cosa? Ti riferisci all' articolo del Giornale o allo studio di JD Power?
