THIS PT CRUISER WAS MY PARENTS VEHICLE. I DROVE IT TO TAKE THEM TO DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS, ETC. IT WAS USED LIGHTLY. NEVER HAD ANY SLIPPING, SPUTTERING, NO SMOKING, ETC. RAN GREAT, SMOOTH. AFTER THEY PASSED I WAS TOLD TO PARK IT UNTIL THEIR ESTATE WAS SETTLED. WHICH I HAD NO IDEA HOW LONG THAT COULD TAKE. RIGHT BEFORE I WAS TOLD TO PARK IT, IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. WE HAD IT TOWED HOME. AND, WE WERE GOING TO REPAIR IT. WE BELIEVED IT TO BE A TRANSMISSION POSITIONING SENSOR. BUT, WE COULDN'T BE SURE. SO; WITH BEING TOLD I HAD TO PARK IT, I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW THE ESTATE IS SETTLED, BUT I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. AND WITH LOSING MY JOB IN FEBRUARY, I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO SELL MY PARENTS CAR.

THIS CAR RAN SO SMOOTH AS I STATED ABOVE. IT HAD ICE COLD A/C, GREAT HEATER, IT WAS A GAS SAVER, HAD ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS. THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR STILL SHINE GREAT. NO VISIBLE RUST. NO PAINT PEELING. IT JUST NEEDS A THOROUGH CLEANING INSIDE. IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, I USED IT TO STORE OUTSIDE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS. DURING A STORM A BRANCH HIT THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS THE GLASS CRACKED THERE. BUT, WITH THE SEASON CHANGE THE CRACK RUNS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. BUT, ITS MOSTLY NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD.

AS A SECURITY MEASURE, A SEAT BACK EMERGENCY RELEASE LEVER IS BUILT INTO THE LEFT SIDE REAR SEAT BACK LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THE EVENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL BEING LOCKED INSIDE THE LIFTGATE AREA. THE LEFT BACK SEAT CAN BE UNLATCHED BY PULLING DOWN ON THE GLOW IN THE DARK LEVER ATTACHED TO THE LEFT REAR SEAT BACK LATCHING MECHANISM. THEN THE SEAT CAN BE PUSHED FORWARD TO GAIN ACCESS INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH THE CHILD REASTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEM CALLED LATCH. ALL OF THE EXTRAS AND HOW TO'S ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROVIDED OWNERS MANUAL. IN THE REAR OF THE CRUISER THERE IS A TABLE THAT CAN BE UTILIZED IN A LOW, MEDIUM OR TALL POSITION. AT THE HOLIDAYS, I WOULD LEAVE THIS TALL WITH GIFTS UNDERNEATH IT. REAR SEATS ALSO FOLD DOWN.

An early gas-electric hybrid was developed by...Exxon?

Tue, Oct 25 2016

We're not sure which aspect of Exxon's 1970s-era efforts to develop advanced and electrified powertrains is the most ironic. There's Exxon, that of the Valdez oil spill infamy, being on the leading edge of hybrids and electric vehicles. There's a boat-like Chrysler Cordova getting 27 miles per gallon. And there's the central role a Volkswagen diesel engine plays in that hybrid development. It's all outlined in an article (linked above) by Inside Climate News, and it's an amusing read. Flush with cash and fearing what it thought was peak oil production in the 1970s, Exxon funded a host of new ventures divisions geared to find alternatives to gas-powered powertrains. In the early 1970s, Exxon lured chemist M. Stanley Whittingham to develop what would become a prototype of a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Then, in the late 1970s, Exxon pioneered the concept of using an alternating-current (AC) motor as part of a gas-electric hybrid vehicle. The company retrofitted a Chrysler Cordova (yes, that's the model Ricardo Montalban used to hawk) with a powertrain that combined 10 Sears Die-Hard car batteries, an alternating current synthesizer (ACS), a 100-horsepower AC motor, and, yes, a four-cylinder 50-horsepower Volkswagen diesel engine. The result was a rather large two-door sedan that got an impressive 27 mpg. And while US automakers didn't see the potential in the early concept, in 1980 Exxon and Toyota began collaborating on a project that would involve retrofitting a Toyota Cressida with a hybrid engine. That car was completed in 1981, and may have been one of the seeds that eventually helped sprout the concept of the Toyota Prius. Soon after rebuilding the Cressida, Exxon would get out of the advanced-powertrain-development business, as oil prices began to fall in the early 1980s, spurring cost-cutting measures. Cry no tears for the Exxon, though, as what's now known as ExxonMobil is the largest US oil company.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Chrysler reports $464M net income for Q3

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Chrysler has just announced earnings of $464 million in net income for this third quarter, a 22-percent year-over-year increase. Net income for the first three quarters of 2013 is at $1.1 billion. Net revenue climbed significantly as well, to $17.6 billion, a 13.5-percent increase on Q3 of 2012.
Those increases were thanks in no small part to an eight-percent rise in sales from the same period last year, with 603,000 vehicles sold worldwide. "Chrysler Group's ninth consecutive quarter of positive net income highlights our commitment to producing award-winning vehicles for consumers, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ram 1500," said Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and CEO of Chrysler Group.
Despite the increased sales, Chrysler's US market share dropped slightly, from 11.3 percent in Q3 2012 to 11.2. Canadian market share remained level at 14.3 percent. Have a look below for the entire press release from Chrysler.
