Jacqueline Farrell+FollowNissan Engine Drama: Lawsuit Alert!Nissan’s turbo engines are in hot water—owners are suing, claiming their cars are stalling, idling rough, or even shutting down on the road. The lawsuit says Nissan knew about the engine defects but left drivers footing huge repair bills, even under warranty. Models like the Rogue, Altima, and Infiniti QX50 are all named. Recalls? Owners say they’re just band-aids, not real fixes. Would you trust your ride after this? #Cars #BuyingCar #Nissan6360Share
schmidtgeorge+FollowTalk About These Cool Car Names That Got Totally WastedThere is just something special about a car with a real name. A performance version of the Ford Crown Victoria would have been cool no matter what but how much better did it get when Mercury chose to call it the Marauder. That is an incredible name. Sometimes though automakers use a great name on a car that doesn't live up to its name. The name Dodge Rampage evokes some kind of tough off roader. It was actually a front wheel drive unibody coupe utility based on a Charger. Its name just did not fit. In Japan after the R34 generation the Nissan Skyline name was used on various vehicles that would be sold as Infinitis. They are not necessarily bad cars but they pale in comparison to the legends from the 1990s. I also cringe at seeing the name Skyline on a crossover SUV. Then there is the Dodge Hornet. It started its life as the legendary Hudson Hornet but then the name was slapped on an overpriced hybrid econobox that literally nobody wants. The Toyota Supra is another one. It went from an all-in-house legend to something that doesn't even have a Toyota engine. It is a real shame too. #CarTalk #Cars #ClassicCars #Dodge #Nissan #Toyota #Discussion #PetPeeves 3220Share
