1968 Buick Electra 225 on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
This is a nice, super-solid car, originally from Nashville, TN. There is no rust or dents in the sheet metal. One repaint is faded. Bumpers are super shiny, one has a small dent (that's what bumpers are for). Original cloth is good with some water stains, but no rips or tears. Headliner good. The car is registered and insured, it runs and drives fine. Tires are good. Took a nail in one, so the spare is on the car, not an exact match. I did about 1500 in front end repairs a few years ago, including the drag link and anything else that was needed. About 4 years ago I had the driveshaft redone inculing all Ujoints and Carrier Bearing. The air conditioning prob needs a recharge and update. The brake booster behaves well in warm months , but in cold months it hisses a little, the pedal goes weak, but then seals up and still stops the car. I recommend replacing the Brake booster. Radio not working, antenna is busted off. I think this is a drive it anywhere car.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
