Direct contact won't happen until after the court hearings in late March, and the roll out of the program begins.
Do we know this is in fact true? Just asking.
Safe to assume this, as the matter is before the courts and VW has entered into an agreement. To be precise, I don't think we will receive any notice from the court appointed administrators until said dates unless something major happens.
Not true. VW is obligated to contact all TDI owners with a known email or snail mail address. It's being done by Ricepoint , the court appointed administrator. They also published the notification in newspapers in the first week of January.
That is kinda what I am getting at.
This is, entirely 100%, what is sounds like we are being asked to do...
Well, I think that there are enough arguments to substantiate a strong objection to the proposed settlement, if enough of us send the forms before the deadline.
I hope the judge reads Facebook so we'll get treated fairly........
You are still driving the car, so regular maintenance is a must, IMO.
Get it done.
Thanks for the advice!
Wow !! $670 seems pretty steep for 30Kms service. I used my loyalty card on my service and I think it ran me around $270.00. Fuel filter, oil change and filter. I bought the def fluid myself , don't feel like being ripped off every visit when they put in a liter and charge me $25 for a top up. I would still however do the maintenance req'd if I were you. It'll be awhile before cars start getting bought back...
Yeah i think i should do the next one. I live in Edmonton and two edmonton dealerships asked $670. If calgary is cheaper i will probably drive there for the maintenance. 670 is ridiculously expensive for minor inspections and oil change.
I'm not 100% sure but even if the car is still under warranty, I think that you can get the service done at an indy shop for a better price. So long as the work done covers whatever is required for that particular millage service.
Next big piece of news should be out in one week's time. Jan 27 is the deadline for VW to submit the proposed fix for the Generation 1 engines (2009-2014 Jetta, Golf, Wagon, Bettle) in the US.
Don't count on it. There's no way these vehicles will be allowed to remain in the domestic market without a fix. And, the EPA in the States has already stated that they will not export the problem. I suspect Canada would follow suit.
I'm not going to hold my breath that a Jan. 27 announcement in the U.S. is going to give us any satisfaction. It's incredible how the Canadian courts just sit back and allow these delays with absolutely no regard to the rights of consumers.
