H-F class action suit

Ever heard of VolksWagen ? It does not get more reputable than that.


and they had their best year ever and outsold everyone else......................

sometimes bad press is good press!

Ronn, I own a VW TDI, but older than those affected, and I won't buy another German Car. Why? certainly not it's fuel mileage, which is excellent! Certainly not the car's handling, which is the same as my SAAB 9000 (Excellent!) It's the fact that it's over engineered (It's a German Thing) and their propensity to want to be the vendor for their cars for the rest of the car's working life. All the fluids, buy the manual, everything from the engine oil to the ATF, antifreeze, brake fluid, Have I forgotten anything? All are proprietory! Dealers substitute Castrol Synthetic for engine oil, but that's the only thing Every thing else must be purchased from VW. Maybe not enough research has been done. But this is not a good thing and I'm not going to play their game.And don't get me started on their key chips! Screw VW!

friend of mines was affected, had a choice of them buying the car back for msrp or get a check. he decided to keep the car and take the $7k+ check.
