In our research we use the PPMY index to compare the reliability of vehicles. The PPMY index of a certain model is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. The total sales of the 2009 Chrysler 300 in the United States are 28,666 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Chrysler 300 owners in the last 16 years is 117, and the age of the vehicle is 16, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 117 / 28,666 / 16 * 1000 = 0.26.
