    Missing bolts are the cause of a GM recall of 194,105 vehicles in the US. The vehicles being recalled were built between 2018 and 2020. The missing fastener could lead to a transmission oil leak and, ultimately, to a loss of power. Documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety...

    The SUVs are claiming another victim, this time it's the Malibu, which reportedly will be discontinued after the 2023 model year.

    No, General Motors hasn't snatched back its mothballed Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant and restarted production of the Chevrolet Cruze. Clearly, those angry letters from yours truly fell on deaf ears. Instead, the plant's new owner, Lordstown Motors, will reveal the model it hopes to build at...

    The last Cruze from Lordstown has found a new home. Its fourth in a very short time, and maybe its last for a little while. And, surprisingly, it's with the owner of a Chrysler dealership, not a Chevy showroom. Though it's only a lowly LS trim sedan, in sedate white paint, the last Lordstown...

    General Motors, inventor of the modern automatic transmission, is only just recently warming up to the idea of shiftless driving. There's a continuously variable transmission on offer with the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu, which our own Chris Tonn spent some time flogging last week (in mildly sporty RS...

    It's gotten to the point where those seen buying a traditional sedan or hatchback are viewed as being unlikely candidates for procreation. After all, you can't raise a kid in the absence of a vehicle belonging to a segment where "rows" matters more than horsepower or fuel economy. I blame Lee...

    Workers at GM's Lordstown Assembly plant are taking early retirements and contract buyouts, hoping to avoid layoffs as the second shift at that plant is being eliminated. The Lordstown, OH, plant builds the Chevrolet Cruze sedan. Sales of that car have been falling, from a high of 273,060 in...

    Christmas get-togethers across North America were ruined when we reported, last December, that the manual transmission would soon leave the Chevrolet Cruze stable. That sad bit of information came by way of VIN decoder documents submitted to the NHTSA by General Motors for the 2019 model year...

    While sedan sales continue to slump, GM says it remains committed to the Chevrolet Cruze. The Cleveland Auto Show is this week, and with the Cruze produced in nearby Lordstown, plant officials were out to talk about the car's future. Sales of the compact Cruze have fallen significantly in the...

    After a year of good news (McDonald's all-day breakfast came to Canada), it seems only fitting that 2017 will end in tears. The Chevrolet Cruze, one of a shrinking number of models in which one can easily find a manual transmission, appears set to lose that option after the 2018 model year. As...
