Nice work SFP!

.. but question to all: since not every owner/car is a forum member, why are we focusing on an *overall* failure rate? I would assume the failure rate to be reported needs to a function of known forum number of cars. Right now, all we can do is infer the overall failure rate from the known (sample) failure rate.

I think this is why there is misinterpretation of the likely failures because people are taking the estimated overall failure rate to be the actual failure rate. It's not! Only if we knew the total number of all failed cars over the known full production numbers can we definitely calculate the overall failure rate.
