And that is the crux of the issue. "Normal" operating conditions are defined by the EPA. However, "normal" and real world are two different things. The ecodiesel does indeed disable the emissions systems under real world conditions that are outside the defined "normal".
No they didn't. They did not intentionally engage their emissions systems only during emissions testing, and disable it during normal driving. They did not lie to the government when the issue was discovered either.
What FCA engineers did was disable some of the emissions systems during...
I purchased my Ram 1500 ecodiesel new back in 2014. 76k miles, average of 25.5 mpg over it's lifetime and still running strong. I'll take the fix. Supposedly the issue wasn't about cheating for emissions testing purposes but rather disabling certain things under certain conditions. FCA did...
I'm going to chime in here even though you said take it easy on you. You come onto a site where people have legitimately been harmed by a fraud committed and covered up by a company and post this crap. No wonder the world is so f'd up with lawsuits. REALLY...you believe you're entitled to an...
tsingtao, Did you buy your TDI new in Arizona? Reading what is posted on the website, it seems to indicate that only the original purchaser of the vehicle is eligible and also only if the car was purchased in Arizona.
Glad to hear you were able to undo the deal on the first car. I'm sorry it went so bad. Hopefully this second car will be better for you. I suppose getting a lemon is always a risk and maybe even more so when dealing with cars that may have been sitting for several months. I wish you the...
You should be ok. If they don't accept the sales agreement as proof of acquisition, the carfax as well as the original registration should work. I don't think you should really have any problems as long as the car has always had a clean title. Sometimes dealerships get duplicate titles...
Arizona owners were included in the federal settlement and received fixes, restitution and buybacks like all of the other states. This is a separate settlement, similar to the Bosch settlement that will add additional dollars for Arizona owners. No doubt the state got the biggest chunk of...
I'm glad it worked out for you. I hope the replacement JSW is just as good to you as your original. Sounds like you were able to bank a few more dollars and still get to enjoy the same type of car you had.
Looks like the state of Arizona settled separately with VW. Owners may be getting additional money from the state. Interesting....
No details yet on what the qualifications will be or when the payouts may happen...
loop7, check the market for used TDI's that have the fix. You may find you can sell your car back and purchase a like new '15 for less money than they'll give you for yours, plus you still get the fix and extended warranty. Otherwise, if you love your particular car and understanding the...
I think you guys are missing the point. The title status on specific dates is of key importance for meeting the eligibility requirements. I know a lot of this is rehash, but it's probably worth reading for some of you guys once again. It would be nice if VW would stop the arbitrary...
logmaster, was your car registered and on the road in June of 2016? From what you posted, I'm assuming it wasn't, since you didn't get the rebuilt salvage title until January of this year.
Unfortunately, I think you may be SOL. Your case is exactly why all this title semantics discussion is...
No fookin worries Fookin. :D What really threw me off is I think you and I were both on the same page earlier in this thread and then we spiraled off on this tangent.
