DETROIT (AP) — U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating complaints that some Ram pickup trucks and Jeep Wagoneer SUVs can lose power, shift into park and apply the emergency brake. The probe announced Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers about 150,000 vehicles made by Stellantis from the 2022 model year. All have the company’s 5.7-liter Hemi e-Torque mild hybrid system which can let the vehicle power itself.  The agency says the system converts captured energy from braking to power some electrical components. The system has a 48-volt battery pack and a motor generator that sends power to the crankshaft during gear changes.  But the agency says it has 80 complaints from owners that the engines can shut down, often at low speeds. Sometimes they can’t be restarted.

Today’s muscle car aficionado is well-versed on the second-generation Chrysler Hemi, which initially appeared in race form for the 1964 race season and in Street Hemi form from 1966 to 1971 in Dodge and Plymouth production cars. Because the Hemi had been in Chrysler cars from 1951 to 1958 in its original incarnation, the idea of a V-8 with hemispherical combustion chambers was not new, but as you can tell from author and publisher Ray Brock’s enthusiasm in the following cover feature from April 1964, it was nothing short of earth-shattering. —Johnny Hunkins.

Death Disclosure Laws and Property Disclosures in North Carolina. In North Carolina, there is no legal obligation for homeowners or real estate agents to disclose if a death has occurred in a home, whether by natural causes, murder, or suicide. However, if a potential buyer directly inquires about any deaths on the property, the seller is required to provide that information.

For many years, V-6 engines were the basic option that nobody really wanted when a V-8 upgrade was available. Van and truck fleets loved them because they were cheaper to buy and cheaper to run with their superior fuel economy. When it came to sports cars, however, people coveted the V-8 models at the top of the range, not the slower entry-level models. They still sold well because not everyone could afford the top-end, most powerful models. Some would settle for the same sporty look as the cars they wanted but without the performance to match.
