《消费者报告》可靠性排行 丰田品牌夺前三名
【大纪元2012年10月30日讯】（大纪元记者冯德成编译报导） 丰田公司的三个品牌－Scion、Toyota（丰田）和Lexus（凌志）囊括了《消费者报告》（Consumer Report）年度汽车可靠性排名的前三名。 福特汽车的可靠性受到最大的打击，该公司的“MyFord Touch”信息系统和新的动力传输系统都被车主投诉，导致其排名在28个品牌里，由去年的20名下降到27名。 凯迪拉克（Cadillac）被评选为最可靠的美国品牌，排名自去年的第25名上升到11名。 在排名前10名的名单中，亚洲品牌占了九名，唯一的外国品牌是德国的奥迪（Audi），排名第8。其余进入前十名的其他汽车厂分别是：排名第四的马自达，其次是速霸路（Subaru）、本田、讴歌（Acura）、奥迪、Infiniti和起亚（Kia）。 三年前《消费者报告》赞赏福特是美国唯一“有世界级可靠性”的汽车制造商。两年前福特品牌也进入了前10名。现在，只有捷豹（Jaguar）的排名低于福特。 该杂志的测试总监费舍尔（Jake Fisher）说，虽然福特已努力改进MyFord Touch智慧性屏幕，用此屏幕可以控制包括：手机、娱乐选择、温度设定等等，但是许多用户仍然难 以熟悉，觉得混淆不清。 费舍尔表示，用户说，触摸屏有时会变成空白，或设定会消失，有时需要重新启动系统。用户也继续抱怨福特的六速双离合PowerShift变速器转移不顺。他说：“”他们已经有一些解决上述问题的更新，但是似乎还不足够。” 克莱斯勒的表现也令人失望。该公司对最近推出的汽车质量已投入了巨大的心血。不过，旗下的四个品牌，有三个排名在底部附近。该公司排名最高的品牌是吉普，排名第19名，比去年同期低了6名。 该杂志说，克莱斯勒的可靠性问题主要来自选择性的动力系统（powertrain）和一些高档车才有的特殊功能也出现问题。 费舍尔说，克莱斯勒的问题源于在短时间内调整快速的修改许多车辆。在第11章破产保护后，该公司破产法保护下进行了18个月的重整，重新设计或升级了18个款式的汽车和卡车。 费舍尔说：“克莱斯勒似乎是急于改善自家车子品质的受害者，实际上他们的车辆已经改进了很多，但是当你进行许多改变时，很难维持车辆的可靠性。” 除了凯迪拉克有了很大的改进表现之外，别克、雪佛兰和GMC等款式的可靠性都升高了几级。 费舍尔说，经过第11章破产保护之后，凯迪拉克品牌优先得到通用汽车公司的重大改变和升级。 而且近年来一直在稳步提升。 《消费者报告》经常被批评偏好亚洲车，因为亚洲车制造商几乎都被排名在顶部，而底特律的三巨头通常都排名不高。 费舍尔说：“我们基本上只是根据消费者和用户提供给我们的数据。经常都有人告诉我们，他们很爱自己的国产车。” 此报告是根据120万名新车用户的经验，来预测未来汽车的可靠性。 |

这个是英文原版报道： http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/...le-ford-falls/ Japan dominates Consumer Reports reliability rankings while Ford falls Published October 29, 2012 Associated Press And the winner is ... Japan. Japanese brands took the top seven spots in Consumer Reports' annual reliability rankings, pushing aside their U.S. and European rivals. Toyota Motor Corp.'s Scion, Lexus and Toyota brands took the top three spots and the Toyota Prius C, a subcompact hybrid, got the best overall score. Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura were close behind. The rankings, released Monday, predict the reliability of 2013 model-year vehicles based on surveys of Consumer Reports' readers. This year, 800,000 people submitted information on 1.2 million vehicles from the 2010 to 2012 model years. The rankings are critical for auto companies, since Americans frequently cite Consumer Reports as a main source of car-buying advice. Ford and Lincoln, once top performers, plummeted to the bottom of this year's rankings because of persistent problems with glitchy touch screens and bumpy transmissions. Ford was also hurt because three normally reliable models — the Ford Escape, Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ — are all new for 2013, so Consumer Reports couldn't predict their reliability. "We listen closely and value feedback on our vehicles - whether it's from customers or third parties, such as Consumer Reports," Ford said in response to the rankings. "We remain absolutely committed to continuously improving and providing the highest-quality vehicles to our customers." Also near the bottom were Chrysler Group's Chrysler, Dodge and Ram brands, which have been getting a fast makeover since partnering with Italy's Fiat three years ago. Consumer Reports says models with more features and more powerful engines, like the V-8 versions of the Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee — had the most issues. The best-performing U.S. brand was Cadillac, from General Motors Co. Volkswagen AG's luxury Audi brand made the biggest strides in this year's survey, climbing 18 spots to No. 8. It was the best-performing European brand. Glitch-free new models like the A7 sedan got high marks from Jake Fisher, Consumer Reports' director of automotive testing. "They're out-BMWing BMW, easily, in terms of the driving dynamics," he said. Electric cars also got impressive results. The all-electric Nissan Leaf was Nissan's best performer, partly because its electric motor has fewer parts than a gasoline engine, Fisher said. But the Chevrolet Volt — an extended-range electric car that has both an electric system and a conventional engine and transmission — also got the highest score of any GM vehicle. "GM took a lot of painstaking time to develop that car," Fisher said. The Volt was recalled earlier this year because vehicles crash-tested by the government showed a risk of fire when coolant leaked from the battery. But Consumer Reports' rankings don't reflect that, since the magazine only asks respondents to note issues that have happened on their own vehicles. Only vehicles with 100 or more responses are included. Among 2012 models, the magazine got the most responses for the Honda CR-V, with nearly 3,000. Fisher said the magazine is getting about the same number of complaints as it did five years ago. But issues with electronics, audio and touch-screen systems have increased while complaints about mechanical problems are down. |
