Yes the same EPA that dumped millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the Animus River.
I’m not sure that VW really did anything wrong here....
What VW did wrong was to prove that they were smarter than the Federal Bureaucrats regulating them by several orders of magnitude.
And for THAT, they shall pay. And pay. And pay. AND PAY!!!
They did nothing wrong and we've become a nation of pussies.
If the vehicles meet emissions when driving in LA City Traffic, and in Denver City Traffic, they meet the intent.
Is this like chipping whereby you put a chip in that give you the ability to load a high performance tune? Smog check? No problem, just insert a device in the the OBD port and restore the factory tune.
Except to defraud their customers by promising something that they did not deliver--a clean, high-performance diesel.
Yes the same EPA that dumped millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the Animus River.
Has anyone at GM gone to prison for causing the murder of unsuspecting drivers of their ignition switch problem? NO.
Has Gina McCarthy been FIRED, ARRESTED OR SUFFERED ANY FORM OF PUNISHMENT for causing the horrific toxic spill into the Animas River? NO.
I am not sure whether to take my TDI in for dealer service anymore. It’s great car with plenty of torque. I am afraid they will return it to me with limp wrists.
They rigged their cars to operate in one emissions control mode when the emissions were being tested and in another emissions control mode when it was on the road. The second mode produced forty times the emissions as the first. It was a deliberate design of the car meant solely to beat pollution control. I'd say that's wrong.
Are you serious? Rigging their cars so they exceed the pollution standard by 40x whenever they are not getting tested for it?
