    Car quality dinged by tech glitches, survey finds

    FILE -This Nov. 27, 2012 photo shows a 2013 Honda Civic is shown in Detroit. Porsche and GMC have the highest-quality vehicles in a new survey of U.S. car owners. But the survey suggests overall quality is falling because of glitches with new technology, like navigation and voice recognition systems. The survey, released Wednesday, June 19, 2013, questioned 83,442 owners and lessees of 2013 model year vehicles who were contacted at random through state registration data. Honda had the top-performing small car and small SUV, with the Honda Civic and Honda CR-V. The best midsize car was the Toyota Camry and the best large car was the Chevrolet Impala. Chevrolet also had the best large SUV, the Tahoe and the best pickups , the Avalanche and Silverado. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya, file)DETROIT (AP) — Car buyers increasingly want high-tech features like voice recognition and navigation. But they're not very forgiving of the car company when those systems fail.
