Government Motors killed people???? The same government that supports Planned Parenthood?? No......no way! /s
They should have killed a couple hundred people.
It was German authorities wondering why VW TDI engines couldn't seem to meet Euro 5 emission rules in real-world driving that got the testers at West Virginia University to do some testing and that's how we found the offending engine computer software code.
My understanding (meager that it is) is that VW DELIBERATELY made something to defraud the enviroMentals (not that I care so much about this bogus “environment” crap). That is blatant.
GM may have had a flaw they did not intend, but perhaps hoped would go away or not really cause anything, so as not to be noticed.
Incidentally, I have been getting notice after notice from GM for this. I won’t bother because I don’t need them messing with my 13yo car and pushing it to its last breath before we want it to, and I do NOT put huge key sets on my car key. My car and house/etc key sets are separate, because I don’t want to always have to turn off the car to do XYZ.
Workers at VW's plant in Tennessee turned down the UAW yet again a few months ago.
Can you say "Payback"? Sure you can.
I have yet to see an article detailing exactly what law or rule was broken by VW. Has anyone else?
This is so sick. Total over-reach by the Feds. I have been driving diesel cars for over forty years. The VW total is so clean in comparison to what use to be that it is a joke.
