Even Acura's overall dependability was only three stars. And Audi was three stars in three categories but only two stars in powertrain reliability. Infiniti, which often ranks very high on Consumer Reports, also rated three stars in 3 categories but 4 stars in powertrain reliability. Lexus was obviously tops in all categories.

Except the cheap feel of all other cars' interiors next the the Big 3 German makers. Once you feel the fit and finish quality of MB, BMW, or Audi; everything else has a cheap plastic feel (reminds me of made in china).
Every car maker has issues, the more regulations the government puts on them, the heavier and more advanced the car needs to become. This makes them force stuff to production. If the government would just let the manufacturers duke it out, we would have better more reliable cars due to competition not regulation.
