    I stopped at my local Jeep Dealer for yearly Inspection, and an air cleaner. I got the last one, for 2.0T ; they are back ordered until OCTOBER. I was also told Diesel Engine Motor oil is UNAVAILABLE. Has anyone else heard first hand of once common parts now being Unobtanium ?? Why ?
  2. WARRANTEES ; The dangerous Difference between " MANUFACTURING Defect" and " DESIGN Defect"

    GM has had " excessive oil consumption " class action lawsuits against the 2.4 EcoBoost engine thrown out in the US due to that one word difference, " Design ". GM warranties cover manufacturing defects, NOT DESIGN DEFECTS. GMs claim the outsourced manufacturer designed the piston rings, and...
  3. Infrastructure Repair to be funded by " miles driven " Tax

    This idea , while not new, seems to be gaining traction. Because fuel tax revenues are down due to the present Pandemic, and forecast to continue with the increasing number of EVs that don't pay fuel tax, this tax is being proposed to make up the shortfall.
