C.<p>I bought a new vehicle two years ago, after my old one was written off - it was 15 years old, didn't take much damage to write it off.</p><p>Today I received a request to do the J.D. Power vehicle survey. They're a quite reputable source of information about buyers' experiences with all different makes and models of vehicles.</p><p>And ... their survey sucks. Half my answers had to be lies, because they were about the last time I had my vehicle serviced at the dealership, and I have never had my vehicle serviced by any dealership. But there was no way to bypass those questions. About half of them - and there were many questions about this non-existent service - had "don't know" or "not applicable" choices available, but the other half didn't.</p><p>There were a few other questions where it was impossible to correctly convey the answer as well, like what mobile phone provider I use with the phone I linked to my vehicle -- I don't own a cell phone and have never linked one to this vehicle, but there's no way to choose that in the survey.</p><p>It gives me pause about the quality of their data overall, given how badly this survey was designed and implemented.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/JDPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDPower</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/InitialQuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InitialQuality</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/survey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>survey</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/NewCarSurvey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewCarSurvey</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/car" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>car</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/vehicle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vehicle</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/quality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quality</span></a></p>
