Default Ford Expedition Reliability - better info

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

So far 122 Expedition owners have signed up to participate. A good start, but many more remain needed.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results for free.

For the details, and to sign up to help out:

Default RE: Ford Expedition Reliability - better info

The 2003 Expedition is now in the main survey, and other years are getting close.

Help get your model year into the results:

230 owners now signed up. Three model years are now included in the survey, and two others are close. We should have the first results next month.

Help get your year included in the results:

Thanks, I appreciate it.

We've posted a result for one model year of the Expedition, the 2003. With a repair frequency of 83 successful 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 thanks to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in November and February.

Updated results soon, I'm afraid again for only the 2003. Other years have been close--a few more participants per year would be very helpful.
