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 2010 Saturn VUE in the United States are 2,907 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Saturn VUE owners in the last 12 years is 9, and the age of the vehicle is 12, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 9 / 2,907 / 12 * 1000 = 0.26.
