Quick summary
Total: 216 cars
The 2001 Ford Galaxy shows a higher overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 529 defects per 100 vehicles versus the average of 369. This model particularly struggles with brakes, steering, and lights, showing significantly higher defect rates in these categories. In contrast, visibility defects are lower than average, suggesting better performance in that area. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates increase notably as mileage rises, especially beyond 124,000 miles, where it reaches 693 defects per 100 vehicles. Overall, while the Galaxy has some strengths in visibility, its performance in critical safety-related areas is concerning.
