Lincoln Ranks #1 in Dependability with J.D. Powers at Preston Ford Lincoln in Maryland

March 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Last Thursday, J.D. Power and Associates unveiled its 2011 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study with a brand that has never been at the top of the list before. Earning the #1 spot in this year’s rankings was Ford Motor Company’s Lincoln brand, which was the first time ever that Lincoln ranked as the most dependable car make. Maryland Lincoln Dealer, Preston Ford Lincoln, shows off Lincoln models for Lincoln buyers to experience.

The Vehicle Dependability Study is calculated by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles. To gauge this, J.D. Powers surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles about problems they’ve experienced in their cars over the last three months. There are over 200 problems used in the study, which Lincoln had the lowest with 101 problems out of 100 vehicles. “Out of all the makes and models we get in our service center, we have seen that  Lincoln mechanical problems have been steadily declining,” says Skip McCracken, Service Director of Preston Ford Lincoln.

Dependability ranks among the highest requirements when consumers are purchasing a vehicle. With Products like the Lincoln MKX and the fuel-efficient MKZ Hybrid, the Lincoln cars are mixing dependability and innovation. Last September, Alan Mulally, said that they were in the process of revamping the Lincoln product lines to be on par with BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. Already Lincoln has started to show improvement in innovation and now dependability. “Lincoln is turning the heads of our Delaware and Maryland buyers,” says Chad Todd, Preston Ford Lincoln Sales Manager, “Lincoln already has a great product out there and looking at what is coming out of the pipeline in the next year, the Lincoln image is only going to get better.”
