J.D. Power says fuel economy push hurting reliability

http://seattletimes.com/html/busines...ndability.html

"The race to increase vehicle fuel economy is taking a toll on quality.
Owners of three-year-old vehicles are reporting more problems than they did a year ago, according to J.D. Power and Associates' annual survey of vehicle dependability. It's the first time since 1998 that the average number of problems per vehicle has increased."
...
"Mini, Dodge and Land Rover had the most reported problems. Mini, the worst performer, had 185 problems per 100 vehicles."

Wow, that's a lot of problems for Mini.
