Based on costumer reports Toyota and Lexus rank the top 2 brands for reliability for the fifth year in a row. The rankings of the remaining 25 brands reflect a game of musical chairs, however. Consumer Reports' 2017 Auto Reliability Survey found "growing pains" among automakers with new and updated cars and light trucks, with "wonky" engines and "jerky" eight- and nine-speed and continuously variable transmissions, as well as infotainment systems, among the top problems. The magazine said its survey shows some but not all automakers are quick to res...
About 310,000 Sienna minivans are recalled by Toyota Motor Corp. in the U.S.. The carmaker will work on fixing shift levers that could move out of park, perhaps causing the vehicle to roll away. The recall affects 2005-07, 2009 and 2010 Siennas, the automaker's North American unit. "Grease inside the shift lever assembly could transfer to other internal components," causing them to malfunction, Toyota said. The problem may cause the shift lever to slip out of park without the brake being pressed. This could cause the vehicle to roll away and may lead to a crash. The company ...

They’ll also deliver vehicles to customers for test drives and allow people to do paperwork...

Well the specialists blame it all on the post-Hurricane Harvey replacement demand and makeup deals from storm-delayed August purchases. And the more important question: Will it continue? Analyst Alec Gutierrez of Kelley Blue Book said hurricane replacement sales will provide a modest boost for two or three months. But he says the lift isn't enough to change his full-year forecast of 17.1 million, which would be down from last year's 17.6 million sales. Still, auto company economists say U.S. market fundame...
Surely, not any of us can afford buying a new car, there are many cases when we don’t even want one and opt for a used one. Gently used vehicles are an appealing alternative, and not the worst one. But while cars that plug in take only a small share of new-vehicle purchases today—about 1 percent—they're apparently very popular once they're used. In fact, electric and plug-in cars dominate the top 10 fastest-selling used vehicles. Six of the top 10 vehicles boast some sort of electrification, and two of those are purely electric. The fastest-selling used car...
