I own a saturn Aura (same platform as the Malibu and G6), and I find that the parts are cheap, readily available in aftermarket form, and easy to replace. Yes, I did have to do the wheel bearing ... but it took me an hour and a half, end-to-end. Super easy hub design to repair, and the entire hub cost me $40. I compared prices brand-to-brand for a 2007 Camry, and the camry hubs seem to run about $30 more than the hubs for my '07 Aura.
Anyway, I also wonder if people who prefer certain makes or models are more likely to do their own work, also skewing their reliability data.

Notoriously bad dealerships, also very expensive (dubbed 'stealerships' on LR forums). Masses of electronics including air suspension in the 90s when it was not common on European cars leading to all sorts o f problems down the line. And most owners buy them with the intention of maintaining them themselves. A 3rd party garage won't ever see them either, because so much of the car can only be worked on by LR. My local garage turned me away in spring!
