They send a survey to their subscribers.
The next paragraph states:
We weigh the severity of each type of problem to create a predicted reliability score for each vehicle, from 1 to 100. We use that information to give reliability ratings for every major mainstream vehicle. (The reliability rating is then combined with data collected from our track testing, as well as our owner satisfaction survey results and safety data, to calculate each test vehicle’s Overall Score.)
They don’t get very granular, but they give a fairly detailed overview of the methodology here:

Edit: I used to subscribe, and as a result received their surveys occasionally. They seemed pretty well done, but people are people and probably aren’t always objective in their reporting.
When the interviewer gives the interviewee a platform, they can say whatever they want. They don’t have to answer the question. The strategy is often to use the opportunity to say the agreed upon talking points. The question doesn’t matter, just who has the mic. The more an easily manipulated public hears the lines, the more they are likely to remember them. Eventually, repetition bias kicks in. The interviewer should just end the conversation when they do this, but they usually don’t. Maybe they need to fill the air time.
Here’s an example:

Chokes me up just thinking about it.
You don’t even need the mop. A rag gets the job done. Cleaning the floor is just part of cleaning.
Because it works well and smells absolutely amazing.
Definitely. Robert Sheehan is a force. You made me realize how much I forgot!

What about those that have sufficient income, but don’t pay their bills and have defaulted on previous loans?
I certainly have problems with the way current financial institutions operate, but prior to the credit score there wasn’t a standardized, scientific way to assess lending risk. It was left to a good ol’ boy process rife with racism, classism, and sexism. Sadly, we’re better off with what we have now, as flawed as it is.
And if you have heart issues, know that pseudoephedrine is a stimulant (as well as caffeine of course).
