Today, Consumer Reports released the findings from the 2009 annual car reliability survey. As in past years, there are significant revelations to be found in the 2009 data, with some brands and models rising, while others are falling, in predicted reliability.
 
The data will be updated throughout the Cars section of ConsumerReports.org, including on the new car selector and on the model overview pages, available to online subscribers. Further information can be found in our Guide to Reliability and Owner Satisfaction hub, including a detailed Reliability FAQ.

Below is an archived, interactive chat with our automotive experts to discuss the findings.
