Per how much time?
It depends on the time passed. If it's 276 problems reported per 100 cars over a time period of 10 years I'd say Ford is very good. But if it's 276 problems reported per 100 cars over a time period of 10 days I'd sell my car tomorrow.

Hm. I would think Audis would rank worse. Those things are never working properly. 
*sighs* I feel so sorry for my Jeep...314...

If I remember correctly (and there is a 50-50 chance on that), then this was taken over a 3 year period. However, I am not at all sure on that.

Yes, it's rather unfortunate (about the Mercedes),
