Nissan to Recall 140,000 Murano SUVs
By KEN THOMAS, Associated Press Writer 49 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Nissan North America Inc. said Monday it will recall more than 140,000 Murano sport utility vehicles amid concerns that a broken wire in the alternator could deplete power to the engine and lead to a crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a posting on its Web site that a wire could break inside the alternator and prevent the battery from charging. The charger warning and brake warning lamps would come on and the battery would start to discharge. After a short time, the engine would go into a condition that limits the vehicle's speed and stop running, creating the potential for a crash.
The recall involves more than 125,000 vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years and more than 15,000 vehicles in Canada, Nissan spokesman Dean Case said. No injuries or crashes linked to the problem have been reported, he said.

Okay, this is just getting funny now...
DETROIT - DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group began offering employee discounts to all consumers Wednesday,
following the lead of General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. Chrysler is also offering cash incentives on top of the lower prices.
Under the program, which runs through Aug. 1, Chrysler is offering some Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles at the employee rate plus up to $3,500 cash back. Excluded from the program are the 2005 Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Sprinter, Dodge Viper, Jeep Liberty Diesel, all 2006 models and all SRT models.
The employee discount rate is equivalent to 4 percent to 5 percent off the dealer invoice price, Chrysler spokesman Jason Vines said. The Dodge Caravan minivan, which usually starts at $19,095, will start at $15,530 under the discount program, thanks to the employee pricing and a $2,000 cash incentive. The Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, which usually starts at $21,455, will start at $15,565 under the program with employee pricing and $3,000 cash.
Chrysler said last week that it planned to match GM's employee discount plan, which began June 1 and has been extended until Aug. 1. GM's sales jumped 41 percent in June thanks to the discount. Gary Dilts, Chrysler's senior vice president of sales, said the GM discount hurt Chrysler's truck sales, which were up 2 percent in June compared to 68 percent for GM.
Dilts said customers were attracted to the GM discount program because of its clear message. Full Story

Ford starts Employee Discount Program
Reuters - Tue Jul 5, 3:46 PM ET
Ford Motor Co. , bowing to pressure from General Motors Corp. , said on July 5, 2005 that it was matching its larger, cross-town rival's employee discount program. Under the program, which takes effect on Wednesday and will be called the 'Ford Family Plan,' Ford will shave thousands of dollars off the sticker prices of most 2005 model vehicles, company spokesman David Reuter said.
