In the interest of awareness to encourage members to speak their mind and share their thoughts with the FTC I have started a thread to list your comments made to the FTC along with the adress to send it.
By sharing your comments it can help others to understand where they stand on the issue. It will also save time because you can copy and past ideas you align with.
This should not be a thread to tear aparts ones OWN thoughts and ideas, but a common space to collect comments to share and help promote being involved in speaking YOUR mind.
Although the settlement deal regarding Volkswagen cheating on diesel emissions standards is mostly inked, the details are still being worked out.
A one-month public comment period allows anyone with an opinion on the settlement to make his or her voice heard.
The 225-page deal between VW, the Department of Justice, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Trade Commission, and the state of California, was announced June 28 in San Francisco. (Details of the VW Dieselgate settlement can be found here.)

YOU CAN TITLE IT : re: Volkswagen ``Clean Diesel'' Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation, Case No: MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC), and D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2- 1-11386
Here is my resent email:
To whom it may concern;
I would like to make a public comment on the Clean Diesel case against VW. I have 3 concerns that I believe are not being addressed.
1.) I am selling my car to VW for misrepresenting its product. I find it is in VW's best interest to buy my TDI at clean trade rather than private party. I do not see why we are being asked to lose that value when we are forced to sell our cars back or continue to pollute the environment. If there was going to be a fix for the Generation 1 cars I might feel differently. VW should pay clean Private party to be fair.
2) I find it unfair that those who purchased rebuilt vehicles are not going to be compensated if that vehicle was titled salvaged title before Sept 18. Rebuilt titled cars are fantastic vehicles when reconstructed correctly and many people find value in buying properly rebuilt vehicles for many reason including, value, and environmentally they make sense rather than wasting those resources. Why are they not included in the program if purchased prior to June 28th. Many of those owners did not even know about the upcoming issues with VW and simply wanted an affordable high MPG car. If Someone purchased a clean title car after Sept 18th they get compensated, but another individual purchases a rebuilt title and is treated differently. VW needs to buy back as many TDI's as they can and Rebuilt’s Titles and their owners should be treated equally.
3) Mileage adjustment. People who buy TDI's are long distance , highway mileage drivers. If we where city drivers we would buy a Prius or a Volt. TDI owners need good highway MPG and long lasting Diesel engines to put many miles on them. The mileage calculator in my opinion should not penalize us for TDI owners using their cars as intended. The average TDI owner puts much more than 12500 miles a year.
