I wanted more up-to-date car reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now reports absolute repair rates that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible have stats very quickly for new models and to track cars closely as they age.
Thanks to the very active and outstanding related forums for the larger Lambda crossovers, we had some quick stats for the Acadia and Outlook. Hopefully we can do the same for the Terrain. Just a matter of how rapidly owners sign up and participate.
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, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the Terrain, for free.
