That is completely retarded. For decades they've been Dodge Ram PU trucks, and now the POS doesn't say "Dodge" on it anymore and the ads say, "all we build are trucks"?? WTF.

So there are 71 problems per 100 cars? Seem stupid high

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think the split in Dodge lines had something to do with franchise agreements when Fiat took over.

Suzuki kind of puzzles me. Went from well below average the previous year to top ten on the list?
