Scotty, I disagree. 1) GM is investing a lot of money and resources developing electric cars for the future. 2) In the short term GM is meeting the customer demand for SUVs. They are providing the product customers want. (Just like you stated Toyota does. 3) Oil prices are NOT going up in your or my lifetime. U. S. oil producers have developed advanced techniques to recover oil in ways never imagined before. The US is now the #1 producer of crude oil in the world. We now have hundreds of years of obtainable crude oil reserves in this country. When oil prices approach 60 per barrel, US producers bring more rigs online increasing supply, driving the prices back down. When oil prices drop below 45 per barrel producers take wells offline, decreasing supply, driving prices back up. Oil prices between 40 to 60 per barrel are here to stay.

Scotty; The decline of the American auto makers started in December 1974 when GM made a bean-counter by the name of Thomas Murphy the Chairman and CEO. This effectively removed the decision making process on how to build cars from the engineers to the bean-counters. I was a junior at the U. of Illinois (Murphey's alma mater, too)at the time and I was thunderstruck at his comment, General Motors is not in the business of making cars. It is in the business of making money. That, in a nutshell, explains why the American auto makers are at the point they now are 46 years later. Heck, the only reason GM still exists is because Obama bailed them out in 2008 as they were on life support back then.

I always buy used cars. I purchased a 1981 Mercedes 240d 4 years ago and just a few weeks ago I purchased a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis and both cars I bought from a private owner and didn't pay some greedy car dealer. The Car before that was a 1997 Buick Park avenue and I still have that car. I have 237, 000 miles on that car and have had it for 12 years and again I bought it from a private owner. The car before that was a 1990 Chevy Lumina and I sold that car last year after I had 350, 000 miles and again I bought it from a private owner. I use Amsoil in all my cars.

Hay I've got a 1994 GMC Suburban 2wd & the dashboard lights as well as the ccu & the headlights and taillights flicker like it's a short. I've checked the ground wire that connects next to the obd1 plug & even used sandpaper to clean the wire and the plate that it bolts to. My question; should I start checking for shorts in everything that's flickering or could it be the ccu & the instrument cluster be in need of being replaced? The pointers on the instrument cluster also tend to bounce around each time the instrument cluster flickers

Oil is NOT a limited commodity. Oil is not dead dinosaurs, it is made deep withing the Earth by temperature, pressure, and a few simple ingredients like molten rock, water, and methane. Coal is dead trees on the surface, but dead animals don't seep miles beneath the surface, that's an outdated, ridiculous theory. Oil is an UNLIMITED natural resource. The only reason the price will go up is because of politics, not because we are running out of oil.

Scotty Kilmer We have a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta TDI diesel with just over 98, 000 km and its been extremely reliable except for about 2 times and the fan drain the battery when the car was turned off we were able to fix it for free by buying the car idle for a little bit before turning it off. But besides that its been perfectly reliable. So Scotty is there any thing you have to say about that or do you think will have more problems if so what

My 97 Sable shut-off after I landed in a pothole on the highway, it wasn't starting or cranking. I paid a lot to tow it just to realize that there's a safety shut-off switch in the gas tank, and it can activate to prevent fuel from reaching the engine when you're in a collision. You just need to reset it as a circuit breaker (my car has it behind the fuel nozzle in the trunk. Maybe that's what happened to the Mercury Grand Marquis.

Where is the fuel pump inertia switch? 2010 mercury grand marquis fuel pump cutoff switch. This switch shuts off the fuel pump in the event of a collision. Once the switch has been tripped, it must be reset manually in order to start the engine. The inertia switch is located on the toe-board, to the right of the transmission hump, in the passenger-side footwell. is the battery charged enough.
