According to the German ADAC the ranking is somewhat opposite :) https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/unfall-schaden-panne/a...

Notice that with the higher ranked car brands you usually get two years or more of "special service" on purchase. Something along the lines of "for any problem just call this number and we will help you immediately!". That's how they don't show up in the statistics because the brand itself will handle it and not - like in this example - the ADAC. My company even has a compliance form you have to sign before getting a car from the pool to agree to not call ADAC or similar at any circumstance, no matter the problem. Always call the given brand number. Reason is to keep their statistics low (and in exchange our leasing prices ...)

But why?
