There is also a big difference in accessory failure rates between the auto manufacturers, and the models themselves.
For example, the load resistor in my Dodge Ram 2500 failed and had to be replaced. How does a resistor, having no moving parts, fail? Dodge not only found a very inefficient way to control fan speed, but also engineered a simple part you should never know about, to fail. Further, the thin metal itself that comprises the doors are tearing away and threatening to fall off. My truck has literally required infinitely more repair time than both the Subaru and TSX. The motorcycle only needs repair work as often as I crash it, unless you consider replacing the chain at 18,000 miles repair work.
