The tax reform package being considered by Congress has many benefits — but a major wrinkle in the Senate version could force some dealerships in Texas to shutter. That would d...
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday it was rejecting a petition by Ford to delay recall of about 3 million cars with potentially defective Takata airbag inflators.

Although wearing a seatbelt is mandatory across almost all of the US states &...
Trump administration gets urged by a bipartisan group of more than 70 members of the U.S. House of Representatives not to boost current production requirements on vehicle content for autos produced in the region under the North American Free Trade Agreement.
