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 2019 Ford Flex in the United States are 35,950 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Ford Flex owners in the last 7 years is 289, and the age of the vehicle is 7, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
