Interestingly a similar study from Germany for 2022 has some very different results and I need to say I prefer their way of measuring things, as the ADAC (the equivalent of AAA) has looked at how many cars needed actual help on the road in comparison to registered cars, so minor problems don’t count and you can say things about the longtime reliability of manufacturers.
However some differences probably stem from different driving patterns and services offered by the brands.
There are very few Toyotas on that list. Isn’t that a good thing? The ANWB in neighboring NL has a similar report and Toyota scores extremely high on their lists (as in, they very rarely need any sort of roadside assistance).
You need to consider that Toyota sells a lot less models in Germany when compared to the US, but a lot of those listed like the Rav4 or C-HR got some of the worst scores of all cars, so I don't think that is a good sign.
The ADAC list works by listing how often a model needed roadside assistance per 1000 registered vehicles, so if they didn't need any assistant, they would just appear as a 0.5 or something along those lines, but the Rav4 has a values between 16-20 and even the best performing model, the Toyota Yaris, doesn't have the best scores.
