Thanks, I appreciate it.
We have updated results for the G to include owner experiences through March 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year (all but 2007 combine coupe and sedan responses):
2008: 48, about average
2007 coupe: no repairs reported, but very small sample size--especially need more of these
2006: 16, better than average
2005: 79, about average--bump as the warranty ends?
2004: 41, better than average
2003: 40, better than average
A big thank you to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information. Continue to especially need more 2007s. With enough participants, we'd probably report coupe results separately for all model years.

Updated results next month. As usual, we're coming up a single response short of the minimum for the 2007 coupe. Additional participants for all model years would be helpful, but especially need 2007s.

Those results soon. Sadly, never did get that last needed response for the 2007 coupe.
Additional participants would be helpful for all years.

We have updated results for the G to include owner experiences through June 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2009: small sample size, no repairs reported yet
2008: 45, about average
2007 sedan: 78, about average
2007 coupe: one response short of the bare minimum...
2006: 28, better than average
2005: 83, about average--bump as the warranty ends?
2004: 36, better than average
2003: 48, better than average
Everyone who has been helping, thanks, I certainly appreciate it. We'll have further updates in November and February. The more participants we have, the better the information we can provide. Ideally we'd post separate results for the coupe, but to do this we need more coupes.

I'm preparing next month's results, and once again we're a single response short for the 2007 coupe...
Additional participants would be helpful for any year, but very much need another for the 2007.

We have updated results for the G to include owner experiences through September 30, 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2007 coupe: no repairs reported, very small sample size
2006: 36
2005: 65--bump as the warranty ends?
2004: 30
2003: 59
All are better than average except the 2005, which is about average.
Everyone who has been helping, thanks. We'll have further updates in February and May. The more participants we have, the better the information we can provide.

As noted in the results, it might be because the standard warranty ended during the past year for the 2005s.
We often see a bump in the third year for regular cars and, especially, in the fourth year for luxury cars. My suspicion is that people often get small problems that they've been living with taken care of right before the warranty ends.
A less positive possibility is that some components might be tested to last the length of the warranty, but I personally think this is less likely.
These hypotheses might be a good topic for a special analysis.
Or maybe add a new question to the survey, as much as I hate to add questions, asking if the problem is new or had been present for a while.

Doing my best to provide helpful info.
The 2007 coupe barely made it into this month's results. Continue to need more coupe owners for all years.

We have updated results for the G35 to include owner experiences through December 31, 2009. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2007 coupe: 29, very small sample size
2006: 52
2005: 53
2004: 31
2003: 65
All are better than average except the 2006, which is about average.
We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.
The percentage with no repairs is about 61 for the 2003, 82 for the 2004, and 75 for the 2006, while the percentage of lemons is less than one for these years. These stats require more data, so we don't yet have them for other model years.

Recently enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.
As always, more participants would be helpful. Updated Car Reliability Survey results in May.

We have updated results for the G35 to include owner experiences through March 31, 2010. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2007 coupe: 41, very small sample size
2006: 50
2005: 62
2004: 32 -- fewer repairs because no longer under warranty?
2003: 74
The 2003 and 2005 are about average, the others are better than average.
We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.
The percentage with no repairs is about 51 for the 2003, 83 for the 2004, and 69 for the 2006, while the percentage of lemons is about 3 for the 2003 and less than one for 2004 and 2006. These stats require more data, so we don't yet have them for other model years.
