Chrysler has issued two separate recalls on Ram pickup trucks addressing exterior lighting problems and front axle issues.

It was announced earlier this year that 500 examples of the Dodge Dart would be transformed into the Mopar 13 with a bevy of factory-featured modifications added from top to bottom and today, Mopar announced that the limited edition Dart-turned-Mopar 13 would carry a price of $26,480 (including a destination fee of $995).

Chrysler is recalling almost 15,000 Dodge Darts because certain vehicles may experience stalling in cold weather conditions.

Chrysler is recalling certain 2010-2012 Jeep Patriot and Compass vehicles due to a hazardous airbag software defect.

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Jeep Wranglers due to a transmission fluid leakage problem that may lead to total loss of transmission function.

The Chrysler Group has remained surprisingly quiet about what new features are coming to the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty lineup but a bit of prematurely posted information on the Ram Trucks website has revealed that the Ram HD will soon be powered by a similar 6.4L Hemi V8 to that found in the current high performance SRT lineup along with a new air suspension setup.

The Ford Mustang did something in May 2013 that it hasn’t done since November 2012 – sell enough units to beat the Chevrolet Camaro and lead the American muscle car segment.

Chrysler says that the government's data is incomplete and that their proposed recall of 2.7 million Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty SUVs is flawed.

A leading engine builder has charged that Chrysler’s 3.7-liter V6, 4.7-liter and 5.7-liter V8 engines are fatally flawed, leading to catastrophic failure shortly after the warranty expires.

According to the Mopar gurus at Allpar, the production run of the 2014 SRT Viper will begin in July 2013 with bigger numbers than originally planned and a variety of new colors (and deleted colors).

Like all of its moves, today's announcement that Tesla had repaid all of its Department of Energy debt, was not without flair.

The 2013 Dodge Dart isnt competing with the heavy hitters in the popular C segment just yet but with repeated monthly sales records posted over the past few months, the Chrysler Group has offered up some new special edition packages and a new Rallye Appearance package to help better meet customer demand - and to help keep those sales records coming.

Last week we showed the Hennessey 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 HPE650 with the 650 hp upgrade. This week we get to see how fast it goes.

Along with the Astura will be a rugged 1927 Studebaker Commander Big Six and a beloved 1935 Astin Ruby Seven. The three cars will star in next week's Silverstone Auctions Trophy Sale.

Chrysler is recalling about 475,000 trucks and SUVs in three separate recall campaigns covering airbag, power train, and engine coolant issues.

There is only one performance shop who can come up with a 650 horsepower upgrade for the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. See who would dare think of doing it.

After receiving two reports of rear suspension system failures that lead to crashes in the Dodge Viper, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation of some 2,500 units of the all American supercar – what could be the first step towards the government requiring the Chrysler Group to recall their high performance machine.

Each year at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Chrysler Group features a collection of privately owned vehicles and for the 2013 Las Vegas automotive super-convention – Chrysler has looked to the social networking world to help pick the vehicles that the company will feature this year in a new contest with thousands of dollars in prizes.

In some non-US markets, the Dodge Dart is sold as the Fiat Viaggio and reports indicate that there could soon be a Chinese-built hatchback version of the Viaggio sold overseas – leading us to wonder if this Viaggio hatchback could lead to the rumored Chrysler 100 hatchback while also introducing the North American market to Chinese-built Chrysler Group vehicles.

A new video has hit the web showing a 2013 SRT Viper fitted with a set of drag radial tires and piloted by a driver with very little experience in the Viper rocketing down the quarter mile in the low 11 second range – aided by the Mopar supercar’s new launch control system.

Yesterday afternoon, we caught up with what appeared to be a 2014 SRT Viper GTS test mule in GTS Blue sporting some unusual round exhaust protruding through the side sills and a set of non-matching rear wheels similar to those used on the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR - leading me to wonder if this test car might wear some of the features of the new American Club Racer Viper.

Details have emerged on seems to be the first crash of a 2013 SRT Viper on public roads and the sight of the wrecked American supercar comes with grim news as the one car accident claimed the life of veteran Chrysler Group engineer Martin Morse.

After Friday’s departure of Ram brand President and Chrysler Mexico boss Fred Diaz, the Chrysler Group has shuffled up the management in order to continue the company’s impressive growth from the past three years – with all of the positions being filled from within.

The Chrysler Group has announced the pricing for the new 2013 Fiat 500e and with a purchase price of $32,500 along with a leasing price of just $199 a month – the new all-electric Fiat is just as affordable as the popular Nissan Leaf.
