We've posted a result for one model year of the Expedition, the 2003. With a repair frequency of 83 repair trips per year per 100 vehicles, it's about average.

This is based on a very small sample size.

A big thanks to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants we could provide precise results and cover all model years.

Many years remain just short of the minimum sample size. Next month we'll again be providing results for a single model year, the 2003, and a partial result at that.

With a few more owners involved for each year, we could have results for nine model years.

We've posted an updated result for one model year of the Expedition, the 2003. With a repair frequency of 71 repair trips per year per 100 vehicles, it's about average.

This is based on a very small sample size. With more participants we could provide precise results and cover all model years.

A big thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August.

Just enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.

As always, more participants would be helpful. Updated Car Reliability Survey results in May, with a preview for participants next month.

286 Expedition owners now signed up. A good start, but more are needed to provide results for all model years.

We've posted an updated result for one model year of the Expedition, the 2003, that includes owner experiences through March 31, 2010. With a repair frequency of 71 repair trips per year per 100 vehicles, it remains about average.

This is based on a very small sample size.

We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants we could provide more precise results and cover all model years.

This coming week we'll start previewing the next set of results to participants. The preview results will be updated as responses come in.

Currently it looks like we'll again have results for only one model year. But others are just a few responses short. Just this past week I had someone asking me for reliability information on the Expedition, and I wish I could have provided it.

Help get your year included in the following update, in November:

Thank you, I appreciate it.

We have updated results for the Expedition an Navigator 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:

2003: 74, about average

2000: 76, better than average

Both are based on very small sample sizes.

We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants we could provide more precise results and cover all model years.

Starting this month we have a new question to measure, as objectively as possible, the severity of a problem. Many people have been asking for reliability stats that weight problems by how severe they are, and once we have enough responses with the revised survey we'll start providing this.

Also, updated reliability stats this month.

As always, the more owners participate, the better the information we can provide to everyone.

We have updated results for the Expedition an Navigator to include owner experiences through September 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since April until the summer or even fall of next year.

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

2007: 34, better than average

2004: 91, about average

2003: 91, about average

2000: 94, better than average

All are based on small and even very small sample sizes.

We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants we could provide more precise results and cover all model years.

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

2005: 74, about average

2004: 123, worse than average

2003: 81, about average

2000: 145, about average

All but the 2003 are based on small and even very small sample sizes, which likely explains the variation from year to year.

We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants we could provide more precise results and cover all model years.

and this is to what? whats the site about?

The focus is having people report repairs as they occur, then providing everyone with updated stats each quarter (as seen in my posts).
