Dodge Dart Clutch Master Cylinder Lawsuit Continues | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

The Achilles heel for the 700R4 is the TV cable adjustment. Thousands of 700s have died because this adjustment is incorrect. This leads to low line pressure that smokes the clutches. Be forewarned, this can happen very quickly.

Without question, we’d choose the 2.7-liter engine, which is available only on the “volume” trim levels. Those are the standard LT, off-road-focused LT Trail Boss, and sporty RST. These count as midgrade trims, so they shouldn’t be too expensive, at least if you stick to LT. If we needed to tow a lot of weight, we’d go with a V8 sized to meet our needs, and if the 5.3-liter had enough pull, the very affordable Custom trim would be appealing for a working truck. If you really need the grunt, the 6.2 with the 10-speed configuration is there for you, albeit only on the top LTZ and High Country trims, so talk to your credit union or look to the Silverado HD.

As for adding this I would say unless GM offers some update to the systems would be difficult to add. Much of this involves the computer and body control module.

An estimated 7.6 million vehicles were recalled because of Unintended Ignition Key Rotation and pickup trucks were no exception. Affect pickup trucks were the 2007-2011 Chevy Silverado HD and the GMC Sierra HD. This mistake was colossal and cost Chevy millions of dollars. According to Fortune, more than 124 losses and 275 injuries occurred when the ignition switch would switch from on to off while in use, the key could fall right off if it wasn’t in the off position. Adding to this issue were drivers keychains if the key chains were heavier it posed more of a risk for an accident to happen. The company has paid out $595 million in personal injury lawsuits to the people who were injured and the families who lost loved ones in accidents.

In the filing, GM says the front-passenger inflators were custom-made for its trucks by Takata with bigger vents and stronger steel end caps than other inflators. No truck inflators have blown apart on roads or in extensive laboratory testing, the company says. —-

Ask those professionally involved in traffic investigations and they will confirm that they prefer to refer to ‘traffic accidents’ they are collisions and the great majority are avoidable and caused by driver error.

The problem that makes AAA hesitant is what should make everyone hesitant. The systems work pretty well MOST of the time, which tends to make people rely too much on them. Then when the aid systems have a glitch, the driver is distracted from paying full attention to the driving environment. By the time they try to retake control to fix the problem the aid system missed or did badly – it may be too late to fix it.

The rear vision cameras are, in fact, mandatory… which in turn makes the sensors redundant. But the sensors will alert a driver who is not looking at the camera or paying attention, so they are useful in that regard.

The worst is Subaru, which is beginning to install cameras inside the car to spy on the driver. They use facial recognition technology to decide whether you’re looking at the road the way they wants you so. If not, the car will slow down and eventually stop. Do you expect me to actually PAY for this intrusion? If you want it, perhaps you should be taking mass transit.

By the description in the first story, I do agree that the way the lane-keeping system reacted was guaranteed to destabilize the car–the LAST thing you want in such conditions is a sudden maneuver! I’m surprised at the power you claim of the system and strongly recommend a complaint be posted to NHTSA in particular, as well as with the vehicle manufacturer. Computer programs don’t know how to drive on ice yet and there NEEDS to be some way to turn it off under certain temperature/traction conditions at a reasonable speed.
