Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Scandal

Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Scandal Volkswagen was caught by the EPA rigging its emissions testing on about 482,000 diesel models in the U.S. and an estimated 11 million worldwide. As a result, Consumer Reports has suspended its recommended designation of the Jetta diesel and Passat diesel. The recommendations will be suspended until we can retest these vehicles after a recall repair has been done. Once the emissions systems are updated, we will assess whether the repair has adversely affected fuel economy, performance, or drivability. Marta L. Telllado, Ph.D., president and CEO of Consumer Reports, laid out the organization’s stance on the issue in a CNN.com article, “Will Volkswagen’s Penalty Be High Enough?” Below is our latest reporting on the scandal, and actions you can take: From Consumer Reports Did Volkswagen Use ‘Cheat Mode’ as a Selling Point?
