Citroen C3 Air Transport Review (2025) | Simple, short and chunky charm!
Read Caroline's Citroen C3 AirCross review to learn everything you need for Citroen's new small SUV. The Citroen C3 AirCross was first launched in 2017 and ushered in a trend in the small SUV market. With its chunky, colorful look, this is a success for the brand. Now, there is a new one on the way to Ireland that will introduce hybrid and electric powertrains for the first time, as well as five and seven seats. I headed to Barcelona with Ireland Citroen and drove it before arriving a few months later. The new Citroen C3 air conditioner will arrive this year design The new Cutroen C3 AirCross is built on the Stellantis Group's new "smart car" platform, sharing most of its foundation with the upcoming Fiat Grande Panda and Opel Frontera.

Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid class action lawsuit suspended
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid lawsuit is on hold as some plaintiffs are sent to arbitration. November 8, 2024 — The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid class action lawsuit has been put on hold as some of the plaintiffs' claims have been submitted to arbitration. The plaintiffs allege that the Pacifica hybrid minivan "had a defective propulsion system that could cause power to shut down immediately while the vehicle was in motion." The lawsuit was filed just weeks after Fiat Chrysler recalled 2017-2023 Pacifica Hybrids due to a problem that could shut down the minivan. The problem in the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is caused by an internal transmission line connector that can short out and cause the engine to lose power and shut down. Like many auto class action lawsuits, this one was filed until back FCA recalled the minivans, but more than 30 plaintiffs claim Chrysler knew about and concealed problems with the Pacifica Hybrid before the minivans were sold. The class…

The Department of Energy praised the bipartisan infrastructure act for helping build charging infrastructure, which will help bring charging infrastructure to rural, suburban and urban…
Federal investigation ends Toyota RAV4 battery recall
The fire occurred under the hood of 2013 to 2018 Toyota RAV4 vehicles, where the battery is located. August 19, 2024 — The investigation into Toyota RAV4 battery fires has concluded based on the fix Toyota has implemented for the 12-volt battery problem. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a federal RAV4 investigation in February 2021 after receiving reports of 11 engine compartment fires in 2013 to 2018 Toyota RAV4 SUVs. The fire appeared to be caused by the 12-volt battery, and NHTSA suspected an electrical short between the 12V battery's B+ terminal and the frame that holds the battery. Seven RAV4s caught fire while being driven and four caught fire while parked. However, none of the fires were related to the original 12-volt RAV4 battery. All fire trucks come with aftermarket or used batteries. NHTSA found issues with the size of the replacement battery, which has to do with how the battery is secured to the vehicle, including…
