From the Detroit News: A recovery in auto sales in the past year seems to be losing steam, with forecasters expecting August sales to show a continuation of the uncertain trend seen since March. Compared with last August, when the government's cash for clunkers program fueled a spike in demand, monthly sales are likely to be down sharply. But some forecasters believe the selling pace may have slowed even since July, when the seasonally adjusted annualized rate of sales totaled 11.54 million cars and light trucks.
From Detroit Free Press: Toyota recalled 1.33 million Corolla sedans and Matrix hatchbacks in the U.S. and Canada on Thursday because their engines may stall, the latest in a string of quality problems at the Japanese automaker. The recall covers vehicles from the 2005-08 model years sold in the U.S. and Canada. The automaker has now recalled more than 10 million vehicles (in 15 separate recalls) worldwide for problems that run from faulty gas pedals and floor mats that can trap accelerators, to problems with its Prius hybrid. The engine-control module with the possible defect was manufactured by Delphi. “The ECM's supplied to Toyota were designed and validated in accordance with specifications provided to us by Toyota,” said Delphi spokesman Lindsey Williams.
