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.
With the Sonata, we've had excellent participation by owners of the 2007 and especially the 2006. Very much need more participants for other years. I'd especially like to provide quick results on the 2009.
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:

Latest results just posted. The 2006 and 2007 continue to require few repairs.
No results for other years yet because too few owners have signed up to partipate. I'd like to have more years in future results.
