Additionally, increasing demand for premium and luxury cars is also propelling the growth of adaptive cruise control system in the automotive industry. Some companies have also started to deploy this system in mid-range cars to fulfill customer’s safety preferences.

An estimated 7.6 million vehicles were recalled because of Unintended Ignition Key Rotation and pickup trucks were no exception. Affect pickup trucks were the 2007-2011 Chevy Silverado HD and the GMC Sierra HD. This mistake was colossal and cost Chevy millions of dollars. According to Fortune, more than 124 losses and 275 injuries occurred when the ignition switch would switch from on to off while in use, the key could fall right off if it wasn’t in the off position. Adding to this issue were drivers keychains if the key chains were heavier it posed more of a risk for an accident to happen. The company has paid out $595 million in personal injury lawsuits to the people who were injured and the families who lost loved ones in accidents.

2006-’09 Accord and Civic HybridsFront: Cartridge-type with encoded tone ringRear: Hub unitTips: The front knuckle should be removed for bearing replacement. Install the wheel bearing with the wheel sensor magnetic encoder toward the inside of the knuckle. The side with the ABS ring can be identified either by placing a lightweight metallic object (such as a paper clip) to the magnetic side or through a close visual inspection. The latter will reveal the ABS impulse ring windows, which can be seen through the seal surface. Remove any oil, grease, dust, metal debris and other foreign material from the encoder surface. Keep all magnetic tools away from the encoder surface. Be careful not to damage the encoder surface when you insert the wheel bearing.

Every once in a while, i buy a car or two at a local auction, fix it up and resell it for a few dollars. At the last auction i went to, there was a former taxi 2007 Prius with 589,000 miles on it. I always wonder how many batteries it went through; and I sure would like to know the overall cost of maintaining the car over 11 years.(just out of curiosity)

It’s not that I don’t feel these systems like FCW, LDW, etc. aren’t needed. I just feel they probably make bad drivers worse and can make good drivers ignorant.

The Chevy Colorado’s first generation was the replacement to the Chevy’s S-10. The truck came with its predecessor’s compact dimensions which didn’t really hold up as well as expected. The 2000s saw the black days for General Motors and the Colorado was the prey of the period. Those who bought the early generation truck – 2004 to 2012 – could complain of the truck’s body rust, fit together with electrical components that continuously failed while its cabin could leak as the truck aged. The truck’s engine sometimes couldn’t be bothered to start. Another issue that has widely been reported about this truck is that its engine stalls.

B) On the twisty 2 lane by my brother’s house, I was not going much more than the speed limit, maybe 45 in a 35 in an absolutely minimally populated and minimally driven (at almots midnight) back road. I’d have seen any oncoming cars by their headlights, and I was never entering the oncoming lane, just putting a tire on either the center divider or the edge line to carve a cleaner corner. The system absolutely freaked out about this.

It’s worth mentioning that this anonymous owner is a huge fan of his ZR2, which he bought specifically to daily drive and to take off-road. He raved endlessly about it on the phone with me, saying: “I love my truck… everything about it is awesome except for the stupid airbag deployment thing.”

Adaptive cruise control is an advanced system that automatically adjusts the speed of a car to maintain a safer distance from the preceding vehicles. The system can increase or decrease the car’s speed in order to maintain a safer distance.
