Ford saw a 7.7% sales decline in September, attributed in part to the effects of hurricanes this year and last.

Cherokee, Compass and the Ram pickup all had strong performances, as FCA retail sales hit an 18-year high.

GM delivered 694,638 light vehicles in the quarter compared with 781,056 in the same period last year, according to Wards Intelligence data.

The Japan Big Three each saw declines last month in U.S. sales, largely due to the old culprit of falling car deliveries.
