Analysts estimate that total vehicle sales rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 17.6 million, according to Bloomberg, little changed from last month.

They forecast that the so-called big three carmakers - Fiat Chrysler, Ford, and GM - had year-on-year sales declines last month.

After a record sales year for the auto industry in 2015, analysts and automakers came into this year concerned that the market had peaked.
