Honda has recalled 52,615 of its 2007-2008 Acura TL sedans because over time, the power steering hose can deteriorate and develop a fluid leak, leading to a loss of power steering assistance.

The safety of 2012 Hyundai Elantra sedans is being investigated after the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received a report from an owner who had been severely cut from a piece of metal reportedly from the car's side air bag deployment during a collision.

Chrysler is recalling nearly 120,000 2011-2012 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans in the U.S. The vehicles have electronic stability control (ESC) and anti-lock brake systems (ABS) which may overheat and cause loss of control, warns the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

We just took delivery of a new 2012 Azera, a complete redesign based on the accomplished current Sonata. Positioned above midsized family sedans, the Azera competes most directly with the Toyota Avalon, and both updated cars strive to bring more character to class that aims at baby boomers. Just as Buick has been doing.

Acura has announced pricing and more details about the ILX, their new entry-level sedan set to go on sale May 22. The ILX will be positioned beneath the TSX in the Acura line up, providing a more affordable, and fuel-efficient, starting point.

If you're thinking of trading in your old car for a new one, there may be no better time to do it than right now.

Ever since Lincoln gave traditional car names the old heave-ho a few years back in favor of designating all their models MK something or other, it's been more of a challenge to distinguish one Lincoln from another. Comparing notes with various gearheads and other auto journalists, there seems to be some real bewilderment. If car enthusiasts and people who make our living getting this stuff right are getting confused, what about everybody else? How can buyers tell which is which?

Ford Motor Company is recalling its 2012 Ford Focus sedans due to a fault in the car's windshield wiper system, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). More than 140,000 Focus sedans are missing seals in its windshield washer motor wirings, which may result in passenger side wiper motor failures. The reduced visibility can increase the risk of a collision, said NHTSA.

This week, Fisker revealed the much-anticipated Atlantic plug-in hybrid sedan, the little brother to the Karma such as the one we recently bought to test.

After showing a swoopy concept in Detroit in January, Lincoln rolled out the production version of its "entry-level" MKZ sedan at the New York International Auto Show.

Most people know that for years, BMW's marketing tag line has been: "The ultimate driving machine." For a long time, this strong statement was appropriate. Now, I'm not so sure. After taking our new, redesigned 2012 3 Series over hill and dale during the last few days, I'm thinking the thrill is gone.

Last week, Fisker held an online townhall meeting for Karma owners to address potential questions and concerns. As a Karma owner, we were invited to this digital meeting and later received the minutes that included several questions and answers related to our own documented experiences with the car. With this, and our previous report highlighting comments posted online by other owners, it is clear that we are not alone in encountering the challenges in being an early adopter.

Upscale luxury sedans with the look of sporty coupes have become very fashionable in recent years. These pseudo-coupes are aimed at drivers wanting to combine the style of a two door with a more practical four-door body. Porsche expanded into this burgeoning niche, bringing its sports-car DNA into the realm of sedans, or actually, a hatchback. We recently purchased one to test.

Ahead of the New York International Auto Show, Subaru has announced a restyling, engine upgrade, and new features for the 2013 Legacy sedan and Outback wagon. The front end has been restyled with new headlights, grille, front bumper, and fog lights, moving the appearance in line with the new Impreza.

Right now, Chevrolet is selling two very different cars with the same Malibu nameplate. Thing is, one of them is much nicer than the other. That one would be the model we just bought, a 2013 Malibu Eco.
