The seasonally adjusted annualized rate including an estimate of sales by No. 2 U.S. automaker Ford Motor Co showed sales at 17.9 million. General Motors Co October sales fell a less-than-forecast 1.7%. Sales of its smaller pickups and big SUVs surged while sedan sales fell. U.S. vice president of Nissan brand sales for Nissan Motor Co said favorable economic factors point to strong sales in the remainder of 2016. This year is likely to end slightly below last year's record...
This October as predicted is another month to set low U.S. car sales. The car sales numbers will fall below the same month a year ago despite a relatively high level of incentives car sales are especially on the decline, as opposed to trucks, a category that includes pickups, SUVs, crossover SUVs and minivans. Based on online shopping, we are expecting total U.S. auto sales, including cars and trucks, to fall about 6% in October. The fact that October 2016 had fewer official “selling days” than October 2015, and sales were especially strong a year ago contributed to a po...
BMW is recalling 136,188 vehicles in the United States and another 18,284 in Canada due to improperly crimped wiring for the fuel pump in the gas tank. The affected models are: 2010-2011 5-Series Gran Turismo2011-2012 528I2011-2012 535I2011-2012 550I2012 640I2012 650I2007-2011 X52008-2011 X62010-2011 X6 ACTIVEHYBRID The in-tank fuel pumps on these vehicles have insufficiently crimped wire contacts. This causes an increase in contact resistance and extra heat. Over time, the plastic around the contact pins can melt, and this can allow fuel to leak. If the pump isn’t workin...
U.S. new-vehicle sales are expected to decline for a third consecutive month, but the industry’s selling rate could reach its highest point of the year because of the way October falls in the calendar. Forecasts show sales falling 6 to 8 percent from a year ago. That would be a better performance than it appears because October has two fewer selling days than it did in 2015. Analysts said Hurricane Matthew also slowed sales in the Southeast early in the month. The forecasts translate to a seasonally adjusted, annualized selling rate of 17.7 million to 17.9 million. That compar...
For the second time in its history Tesla Motors Inc. reported net income, making $22 million net for the third quarter. This month, Tesla said it delivered 24,500 cars in the third quarter, putting it on track to hit its goal of 50,000 vehicle sales for the second half of 2016.

In the third quarter, Tesla booked $139 million in those credits, up from $39 million a year ago. The company said it expects revenue from those credits to decline in the fourth quarter. Quarterl...
