mkaresh -> Hyundai Santa Fe reliability (3/31/2008 9:36:27 AM)

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 149 Hyundai Santa Fe owners have signed up to participate. Most of these are for the 2007 though. The only other year close to the minimum sample size needed for data collection is the 2003.
In other words, more participants are very much needed for nearly all model years.
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.
