I've attached that new graph. With more responses we'd probably have smoother curves, for more model years.

So, how have these SUVs been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche (and Yukon, also included below) now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year ("low" is best):

2011 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 24, low
2010 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 21, low, very small sample size
2009 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 68, moderate, very small sample size
2008 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 59, moderate
2007 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 70, moderate

Plus, the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2007 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 60, 2

No stat for a model year? Then we very much need more participants for it. Same for those with small sample size notes. Next updates in August and November.

Our reliability stats for the Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche and Yukon (also included in the stats below) now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2013 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 47, moderate, very small sample size
2011 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 24, low
2010 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 11, low, small sample size
2009 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 44, low, very small sample size
2008 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 72, moderate
2007 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 54, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2007 Tahoe / Suburban / Avalanche: 59, < 1

If a model year isn't listed, or its sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved.
