The J.D. Power US Vehicle Dependability Study for 2024 was published recently, and it comes as no surprise that Lexus and Toyota are once again the most reliable brands.

As you'd expect, the most reliable cars include the Lexus IS, ES, NX, and RX, and the Toyota 4Runner, Camry, Corolla, Tacoma, and Tundra.
