GM and Chrysler’s pain has sure been Ford’s gain. The car maker again just made new advances in the market.

Ford has broken into an area typically dominated by foreign car makers; it’s now ranked among the top 10 brands named by J.D. Power and Associates for quality.

The survey measures the number of problems per 100 vehicles produced in 2010 as reported by vehicle owners and Ford ranked #5.

Here’s the full list:

Ford's Fields
Mark Fields, Ford executive vice president and president, The Americas, discusses the US automaker's fifth-place position in the J.D. Power and Associates' annual Initial Quality Survey and how far the company has come in the last few years.

1. Porsche
2. Acura
3. Mercedes-Benz
4. Lexus
5. Ford
6. Honda
7. Hyundai
8. Lincoln
9. Infiniti
10. Volvo

It's quite an achievement; one that underscores how rapidly Ford is turning around.

In an effort to bring you all the latest developments at Ford, Fast Money host Melissa Lee sat down with Ford executive VP Mark Field. We didn’t have time for the whole interview on TV, but here you’ll find every tradable word.
