I’m not surprised to see BMW below average in quality. I've leased 3 BMW's over 7 years and I've had issues. The 6 series had the least amount of issues I assume because I didn't drive it much, my first BMW was a 325i sedan and it was basically a lemon it had so many issues. Now, I got my 335i 3 months ago and I've already had 2 issues. First issue was the trim on the passenger door had to be replaced because it cracked. The reason, the trim itself was not properly installed at the factory and cracked over time. Second issue, an intermittent malfunction error for the exterior bulb (very common issue with the 3 series) comes on one day, disappears the next. Thankfully I lease.

IQS is typically flawed anyways.
Hummer scores low due to "poor gas mileage"
Until JDS standardizes what a "problem" is, I'll take any study with a huge grain of salt.

Well this only applies to a specific model year, so having previous models doesn't necessarily count, I was shocked to see Mercedes' huge improvement because of my own W203 having numerous problems, but I know many friends with 203 who haven't had any problems, out of the ordinary at least... So i'll accept this ranking 
Shocking to see mini all the way at the bottom, They've been making these cars for a while and so many of them already, You'd think they'd have worked out the kinks!
At least the top 5 weren't a surprise
Nice to see Ford and chevy being above average

Yeah, what do they consider a problem to be? I mean, Mazda is below average but many Mazdas are just reskinned Fords and Ford is just a point below Toyota.
