Thread: VW caught by the Yanks for breaking emission laws

VW is planning to recall its cars here to offer a software fix so it complies with Aussie emissions rules, so obviously they currently don't comply or the company wouldn't be planning the fix.
It surprises me that some people apparently don't care about having clean air. As someone who lived in polluted Bangkok and has visited many dirty cities (anyone mention Beijing) I put a high value on clean air. Vehicle emissions rules exist for a reason.

My most recent health checks have me A OK. This is comprehensive check.
Apart from that I feel well and happy. What more can I say?

I mean there are plenty of other manufactures that don't meet the standards and some plenty worse.

Who?
Who has on purpose sold 11 million cars that they not only knew didn't meet the emissions laws, but breached them in terms of NOx output to match a bus or truck?
The results are global health, (studies estimates vary from 150 extra deaths a year to 1500 from respiratory and other health issues) pollution and screwing over their customers in several ways. First in loss of value, secondly,potentially, in higher running cost as the we all know how good having the egr open more is for the engine.
Would you be happy to lose $5000 value in your car and know it could contribute to health issues in your family?

A late question, why do you defend and try to divert or reduce their fault by saying "somebody else is doing it " without any evidence?

the sky is falling

Did someone in a VW run over your dog or something?,considering the average age of a vehicle in Australia is 10 years old do you really think pollution from new VW vehicles have had any impact on our health?,who gives a **** about 150-1500 people dying GLOBALLY from pollution anyway,in America an average of 5000 people per year die from eating hamburgers.

Are you saying the others didn't know they were exceeding the limits? So they just did it by accident but VW did it on purpose?

I own a 2013 Skoda Yeti Diesel and I bought shares in VW about 3 weeks after the news was release. LOL

I have it on good word that this vehicle didn't meet emissions either but it was turned around for other reasons before it got to Australia.
