1966 Jeep Jeepster Commando 3.7l on 2040-cars
Fairhope, Alabama, United States
This a rare
American Classic which I am offering for sale. I bought the vehicle 6 years ago
and have used it moseying around the small town I live in on weekends. Here’s
what I know: I bought it from a guy who had it 5 years and kept it out of the
weather. Since I bought it I have replaced the clutch and some hoses—also kept
it under cover of a carport with a vehicle cover. The jeep fires up every time
and is very reliable in that regard—I only drive it around town—have never
ventured more than 15 miles from my home so I won’t vouch for any extended
distance driving. This Jeep is an amazing people magnet--a complete head turner
anywhere I drive. I’ve had it parked next to a gleaming red Ferrari and
nobody’s looking at the Italian job. Reason for selling---I had 5-6 years of
fun and now it’s someone else’s turn to enjoy. I am replacing this with a MUCH
MORE EXPENSIVE 1976 Toyota Landcruiser FJ 40---just another toy to drive around
town on weekends for a few years and then it’ll be on the block. I have never taken vehicle offroad and not sure 4WD even works. ONE MORE
THING—I have only bought one vehicle from afar—a Landcruiser shipped from
Connecticut to Alabama—I was referred to a guy that has phenomenal ratings and
he did everything I asked perfectly—if you need a shipper. |

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
