Toyota Motor Corp. led automakers with the fewest problems reported by U.S. owners of its three-year-old cars, while General Motors Co. and Honda Motor Co. also fielded models that topped their segments.
Toyota’s Lexus luxury brand led the industry for the second straight year, its namesake line tied for third, and seven of its models topped their segments. Strides by Toyota, GM and Honda helped reduce the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles to 126, the fewest in the 24-year history of J.D. Power & Associates’ Vehicle Dependability Study.
