Despite being the second-best selling car for General Motors this year, production of the Chevrolet<\/a> Cruze was halted on Monday due to a supplier issue. The company has not specified what the exact nature of the problem is, the Youngstown Vindicator reports, but it could mean consumers will have to opt for used cars.<\/p>\n

Some have speculated that the suspension arose from a quality control issue that Tom Mock, the spokesperson for the Lordstown, Ohio, plant where the Cruze is made, said might impact customer satisfaction. He added that there is no word as to when production will resume but that the situation will be assessed on a day-to-day basis, the newspaper reports.<\/p>\n

The delay could be a significant bump in the road for Chevrolet since the Cruze was threatening to dethrone the Toyota<\/a> Corolla as the number-one selling small car by the end of the year. As it stands, the Cruze still outsold a longtime favorite in the Honda<\/a> Civic as well as the Ford<\/a> Focus, which landed in fourth, according to USA Today.<\/p>\n

With no new Cruzes being produced, anybody who may have been considering purchasing a new one may now have to turn to New Jersey State Auto<\/a> Auction to buy a similar used car instead. However, pre-owned vehicles are often just as reliable as new ones and experts say that the end of the year is the best time to make a purchase.<\/p>\n

In addition to a wide variety of affordable makes and models, New Jersey Auto is also a good bet because it has aligned itself with AutoTrader.com to provide consumers an easy to way to trade-in their current car.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
